Capitalist Philosophers And Fundamentalist Protestants

[Darryl_P]

This kind of wording:

"He feels nausea at people who try to rationalise that mistake just because it serves their self-interest."

is non-arrogant, non-magalomaniacal, non-intrusive and non-offensive.

This kind of wording:

"People who are rich for technical capitalistic reasons do not truly deserve to be a lot better off than hardworking chemists in Burma. Period. "

is quite the opposite.

Reason: the first wording implies that DS is not God, nor the center of the universe making rules for mankind, but just has a position/opinion on an issue.

The difference in wording is not just a technical slip. It is a sign that, in at least some moments, some states of mind, those megalomaniacal thoughts are indeed present.

To pretend otherwise is to be dishonest IMO.

To come clean, I'd advise a Bart Simpson-like punishment of writing "I'm not God and it will never be my job to make or enforce life's fundamental rules for mankind" on the blackboard 100 times.
