Greetings dear friend @logiczombie.
I had to read your article several times in order to decipher it and understand it better.
Altruism: The conditions of judgment force me to help others.
Utilitarianism: There must be equal conditions of judgment for both me and others.
Selfishness: The conditions of judgment should favor me only at all times, without granting elements of benefit to others.
So to achieve greater harmony among the members of our community, the practice of Utilitarianism should predominate.
We will always find cases of Altruism that represent a minimum percentage but that are loaded with great humanitarian value and above all, we should totally reject selfishness. Although unfortunately it will always be present.
All best, Piotr.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a reply!
It seems obvious to me that we should all hold ourselves to the same ethical standards we impose on others.
If the U.S.A. believes it is unethical for the U.S.S.R. to hold prisoners indefinitely without trial, then the U.S.A. shouldn't hold prisoners indefinitely without trial.
If the U.S.A. believes it is unethical for a country to stockpile nuclear weapons, the U.S.A. shouldn't stockpile nuclear weapons.
