Explaining my spiritual viewpoint to
the young people last night –
Nobody should impose their opinions on
others, people should be allowed to heal
as well as they might, everybody chose
their problems and shortcomings
Forcing improvements on others lead to
altruists getting lynched or being misjudged
and dying on crosses, interference on behalf
of humanity led to such atrocities
It should be forbidden to meddle in the welfare of
someone else, altruism should be outlawed because
the victims always blame the negative consequences
on the well-meaning blunderers who took over their lives
Establishing a society based on rational self-interest, intrinsic
goodness of mankind and a benevolent universe should be
enough, individuals should concentrate on their own lives
stop forcing guidance on others
Parents are the most dangerous people in the universe, forcing
their children to repeat their own miserable lives which
created our dysfunctional society, if children were allowed
to experiment with new innovations
Human society would make some real progress…
- Resulted in too little sleep, I am fatigued, lost
interest, yet it still is a million years
before lunch…

What gets to count as rational or self-interest?
I'd guess everything, and therefore nothing.
Still, there's a lot of merit to what you say here. We should respect each other's freedom. Especially when it comes to children. We're all so brutal to them.
You like to read really challenging stuff (quantum physics and so on), you might actually like this paper by F. A. Hayek:

Ignore the idea that he's arguing for a free market and so on -- yada yada -- that's not what's important ...
... the metaphysical picture he weaves of knowledge moving through society is really fascinating. We're all doing our own thing and creating this vast network through which we support one another. It's incredibly fascinating.
Of course, ignore the article if you wish. :)
