Egoism

It is my contention that the smart and effective moral reformer is an egoist, not an altruist. Since self-interest, over all, is good, and other-interest, over all, is bad, then it seems obvious to me that rearing children as individuators, not activists or social justice warriors, is the only ethical choice. If the majority of children get their act together, and run their lives well, individually there will be far fewer serious problems to iron out, and collectively and cumulatively, society should run and operate rather smoothly to the benefit and satisfaction of all.
