Re: are people capable of being selfless?
Simple question can a rational and intelligent human when presented with choices pick any one besides the one which they think provides them with the highest utility? Is this the definition of sane?
FYP.
And the answer is no.
I assume you are answering the first question. But if you are right, it leads in some cases to prisoner dillemmas. Meaning that in the long run people are sometimes better off if your answer wasn't always correct. And the easiest way to get that to happen is to get them to believe in God. This was clear to Moses, Jesus, and me but not to many others.
