Does /r9k/ have a moral compass/values that you follow? Or do you just do whatever you want for your own interests, even if it meant hurting others?

I try to treat others' with a basic degree of decency unless they are obviously a degenerate or doing something at my expense. Obviously, that means that I also try not to live at the expense of others; I won't go out of my way to treat others like shit for no reason.

If something would make me feel bad, then I don't do it. Unless the reward is greater than the emotional pain.

Lengthy experiences with long term failure in my expectations when I was young, along with a brief, but impressionable period of chronic pain has lead me to be more emphatic and sincere in regards to people and their unfortunate positions in life, especially towards those who hold, or held, significant aspirations
I grew up with a socially isolated lifestyle due to alienation with my peers, and it revolved around my computer for a large portion of my childhood alone. Although I was predominately sedentary, I held a great deal for my physical attributes and I am competitive.
Despite my experiences leaving me more humble with other people, I am still acting upon my own interests. I believe I would be able to indirectly double cross others regardless of their situation, because it seems I value myself more than those who I do not know personally, as with most people. This can be understood with evolutionary explanations, majority of us will do things that may increase our chances for survival and/or reproduction. (protecting and preserving biological or 'artificial' offspring.) I believe most of us know this to some extent, so this is a cliche, I think it is relative and we are all very shallow in a simple philosophical viewpoint.
But I really do think a lot about human beings and their potential thoughts about significance. How others think about themselves, and their outcomes nearing their deaths. And their failures and pains, I believe in the end we all want to be content with whatever you may want to accomplish.
