family is very rewarding experience for most people, selfish isn't the best word for them. by helping others we are creating better world for ourselves, but you can't call this selfish either. Maybe rational selfish. Then irrational selfishness would be the guy buying a girl drinks expecting to get her number. whereas the other extreme is self-negation, like when people take on social roles for the sake of being part of a community. I'm not saying anything against love. just against socialism.
you are pretty much right. your opinion is very realistic that most people just don't give others for free. they have to get something in return. but then i wonder. if our mothers were only interested in herself and what she get in return, would she love us? i think that only by giving, can there be true relationship and love among people. so, your definition of "producing" is only good in "surviving reality." giving is more sprititual in my opinion.
I don't believe in giving selflessly, but rather producing values (or commodities or currency or capital, whatever) which we can then trade for other values from others. When Ian talks about being frustrated that people aren't giving back to him, they just aren't interested in trading with him, which is fine in a free market. You called him on his selfishness, but I don't agree with you on giving, I would call it producing.
I think this Puzz912 might be the Anti-Crossland? After I watch an Ian Crossland video I like to watch a Puzz912 video to cleanse the mind and to get the crazy train to stop!
watch my "giving" vids...very insightful. It's so much better to give than recieve. Good vid!

In my opinion Ayn Rand is the best philosopher on this subject.
