The article makes me think of Adam Smith. Even empathy is selfish.

The article makes me think of Adam Smith. Even empathy is selfish. Because that's what it is all about,If it makes you think about Adam smith.Can there be morals without ethics or vice versa? Again, if the voter turnout for 2017 is the same as 2013 the likelihood of a runoff is high...Remember Uhunye only won with less than 8,500 votes in 2013 If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Ethic looks like an algorithm, and morals the the material for the algorithm. Can one be without the other? No. The election reasoning may be false since relationships and conditions have changed. Is empathy necessary for understanding others, or is it an obstacle?

Rank: Elder Joined: 7/1/2011 Posts: 8,804 Location: Nairobi		A friend told me that Adam Smith is often misunderstood, and I suspect that he was right. Smith understood the nature of Man in a certain and limited context that rightly places him among the greats of our history. Now one only has to link him to Sun Tzu to see community, or even society as warfare and that the most empathic of sentiments are never devoid of violence... But mostly this kind of being is a decadent one that has to be changed if Man is to make any reasonable advances. https://www.ibiblio.org/...hA_MoralSentiments_p.pdf
