The Mathematical Error of Prevailing Selfishness

[DLJ]

Here is my thesis.

• Each person's life has value
  
• Every individual is in the best position to determine what is best for their own wellbeing and happiness.
  
• Therefore, the best societal system will empower people to be able to achieve their own wellbeing and happiness.
  

A system that gets out of balance either way, either by allowing tyranny by the few (oligarchy and dictatorship), or tyranny by the masses (anarchy or communism), has a sickness.

Or...

• Each person's life has value as a resource to enable The Group to survive and thrive [otherwise, they are expendable].
  
• The Group is in the best position to determine what is best for the wellbeing of The Group.
  
• Therefore, the best societal system will expect full compliance and fulfilment of duties to achieve The Group's wellbeing and success.
