In your opinion Morality Games, why does man need ethics in the first place?
In my opinion (which I am sure is vastly different from his) man needs ethics so that Objectivists can be shown the error of their ways. Ethics is about how humans, social creatures that they are, can manage conflict and live at peace with each other and not waste valuable time and energy pursuring destructively selfish goals. But, that would be my overly simplistic rendition of something terribly complicated.


All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
