It is logical. There is no reason that someone else should benefit from something I thought about. Even if it was a cure for cancer. Let them do their own discovery. It would be cruel to take that opportunity from them.

Every man, woman and child for himself = pretty much the antithesis of "civilization".

Why do you place such a value on civilization? Individualism is the goal.

The goal woman, the goal.

I think his only objective here is just to wear everybody down. Quite an effective fallacy.

So I assume you don't use anything society provides?

You don't live in a house or apartment? You don't own a car? You make your own clothes? Grow your own food? You don't own the computer you are typing these responses on?

If individualism is the goal, why do you so hypocritically use the benefits of products made by society?

You seem to be saying you use the things society provides without contributing. There is a word for someone like that, but if I called you it on this forum I would probably be banned.

Life.

To be your own person.

You are one of the most self-involved people on this forum. You talk about yourself incessantly. Everything with you is personal/about Tkramar.

Stereotypes are used by simpletons so they can navigate their realites with greater ease.

You're capable of saying so, which has no value. You are doing what you can...again, just like the rest of us. Normally I wouldn't bother charging that because I feel bad for folk that grasp at non-realities, but if you're going to spew the gender/ability bologna then screw it.

As if cancerS are a singular event with one cause and one approach, Mr. Science. You provide society with you have to offer already (like it or not).
