[tech ronin] I don't feel bad about being very particular about the pens and notebooks I write with. It gives me pleasure and I am a designer (software design, but still), so it figures I would be picky.

[Spending like it's 1988] Ruth, beer theif and comic artist tagged me with a...: While I don't regard myself as an obsessive shoegazing freak who lives every moment for music and looks down on everyone else who doesn't, my inherent snobishness means I am fussy when it comes to music. But why stop at music? Books, music, TV shows, movies, cars, clothes, furniture, stereos, food and drink are all things I fuss over and look down on other people for if their taste is "inferior" to mine.
[Fishpie.com] Fish Pie T-shirts Blog: My, but I’ve been bad on the blogging front. Due to a mix of winter busyness and creative hibernation, I’ve let this blog lag.

[D-anconia.com] d’Anconia Online » Blog Archive » Walmart CEO Defies Altruism: Even though the doctrine of altruism specifically requires that man engage in acts that do not benefit him at all, men who practice altruism are still motivated by gaining something, as opposed to nothing. Clearly, people derive pleasure from "moral praise" or the destruction of something (nihilism) or just a sense of "moral righteousness." Indeed, the only truly altruistic act a man can practice without at least gaining some psychological pleasure is to crawl up into a ball and die, or give his perfectly healthy body to science by killing himself, or some other form of senselessly chosen death where the mind will not be present to witness (and thus derive pleasure) from the act of altruism. The principle we are combating when we deride "altruism" is this: it is moral to engage in acts of self-sacrifice, where sacrifice means net loss.
