I don't think it matters? A decision to keep resources for yourself is selfish on the basis of it being a decision to keep resources for yourself, regardless of where they might otherwise be going?




I guess, but that kinda makes the word selfish meaningless. By that logic we’re all selfish all the time since we’re keeping our resources instead of throwing them in the garbage.

I mean, only if/when we're consciously choosing not to do so?

I think it's the affirmative action, the choice, that makes the difference


So I guess everyone who reads this chain is now selfish :)
