Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.~Everything we do is in fact selfish.
~It’s so basic to our nature that it can’t possibly be bad.
~People really do usually act this way.
~Selfish people are predictable and persuadable, plus they never fail to meet your expectations.
~The foundation of most capitalist assumptions is self-interest.
~If everyone takes care of himself, society does seem to go pretty well.
~We often do good things because we will feel badly if we do not.
~When you are driving, you hope everyone else is selfishly wanting to stay alive.
