Is there such a thing as being selfless? Every time I think of good deeds, there always seems to be a selfish reason involved. Even if you do something "when noone is watching", you seem to do it for the self-satisfaction that you know you did a good deed without anyone knowing who it was.

>Is there such a thing as being selfless?
YES.
>Every time I think of good deeds, there always seems to be a selfish reason involved.
1. "GOOD" ACTS, AND "SELFLESS" ACTS, ARE NOT MUTUALLY EQUIVALENT; AN "EVIL" ACT CAN BE JUST AS "SELFLESS" AS A "GOOD" ACT.
"GOOD" ACTS ARE NECESSARILY "SELFLESS", BUT NOT ALL "SELFLESS" ACTS ARE "GOOD".
2. YOU CANNOT CONCEIVE OF "SELFLESSNESS" BECAUSE YOU IGNORE WHAT "SELFLESSNESS" IS; A "SELFLESS" ACT IS AN ACT PERFORMED WITH AN ETHICOMORAL PURPOSE; THIS ETHICOMORAL PURPOSE CAN BE "GOOD", OR "EVIL".
>Even if you do something "when noone is watching", you seem to do it for the self-satisfaction that you know you did a good deed without anyone knowing who it was.
THE ETHICOMORAL QUALITY OF AN ACT IS NOT CONTINGENT ON ITS SPECTATION, BUT ON THE PURPOSE WHICH IMPELLED THE ACT, NOR IS EXPERIENCING SELFSATISFACTION INDICATIVE OF SELFISHNESS, OR OF LACK OF "SELFLESSNESS" —IF ONE ACCOMPLISHED THE ACTION THAT ONE INTENDED, WHY WOULD ONE NOT FEEL CONTENT, OR SATISFIED?

How did the Bourbons and the Hapsburg ruin such a good thing? They had an alliance that dominate Mainland Europe, connected half a dozen major states, alienated Britain from Prussia. Fucking christ all they had to do was take back Silesia. And now look at them. Two retarded inbred families that couldn't get there shit together long enough to dominate the world. What went wrong?

Start with Adam Smith and then just go on from there.

>>3339136
We've already been there. Smith, Ricardo, Marx, etc.
I need something specific about it. Been considering themes regarding the introduction of mathematics in economics, especially with Walras and Pareto.

Nobunaga had no interest in becoming shogun. The Muromachi shogunate had been weak and effective and he had no wish to associate himself with the title

Was the race obsession already so big in early USA or is it a modern meme?
If not, when and why did it begin?
A lot of intermarriage with natives happened already in the settlements

I'm interested in learning more about the late Victorian period, mostly about the politics and economy in the era, props if it has something about the military industrial complex in the era.I'm reading Hobsbawm (Age of the Empires), and I remember hearing about Dreadnought that expands on the naval race between Germany and the UK.
