I think it doesn't take much effort to see that.
And that's why I don't think those kinds of actions are selfish.
Because it's not like
what Madoff was doing or what any kind of crook like this does is plausibly something that you could come up with as good for you if you spent time thinking about like what are the life options open to me?
What will my life look like if I do one thing or the other?
What things do I need to make a life for myself that I could be happy with?
And how does this fit into them?
I think they are acting on their momentary desires or whims.
Paul.
Everyone knows, everyone who pauses to think about it knows that what you desire right now might not be good for you.
The obvious examples are drug addicts and things like this.
They're just, you know, eating or drinking too much.
Um, we all know there were things we sometimes want that we'd be well advised for our own sakes not to do.
And I think if you're gonna have an idea of well being or self interest at all.
It has to be distinguished from whatever I want now.
If you don't think there's anything that's good for you apart from whatever you want now, you don't even need a concept of well being.
You just need a concept of want.
And I think it's clear that people who are just lunging after whatever they want now.
aren't even trying to act for their own self interest.
A too complex description of their mental state.
