> Human beings are irrational and sometimes do things that > aren't in their economic best interest out of principle > or ethics. Humans might be irrational sometimes, but this isn't one of those times. "Rationality" has no meaning outside of the context of a goal . . . the sentence I quoted makes it seem like you're saying people should only care about their economic (do you mean financial/material?) interests. You also said > Think about it: if I murder somebody, then offer you $100 > not to tell anyone, would you take the money? I certainly > hope not. so it does seem you aren't actually suggesting that.
