Enlightened Self-Interest: Why What’s Best for All Is Best for You

Some philopsophers call it ‘maximization of utility’

Others call it ‘enlightened self interest’

The idea that what is really best for you…

Is for all of us to be ABLE to live our best life.

We each still gotta choose it..

But to have the INTENTION that we create the best world.

That’s what matters.

The real intention.

Finding solutions we can agree to 

Otherwise we create consequence that comes around to fuck ourselves over

For example – we can all agree that alleviating suffering is best

We can all agree that everyone should have access to clean water and basic sustenace of food

How we do it can be figured out when we have the agreement and the intention

The ‘self interest’ programming in us may resist it at times.. 

But deep down its what we want

This is the purpose 

A world that is acceptable to all

Equal opportunity not equal outcome

Where we live in this baseline agreement

This is what I’m focused on along with hundreds of others

And it starts with ourselves and our immediate surroundings

And ripples out into the world..

Can you see the common sense of this? Join Self-Perfected find the others.
