    I have been a moral Nihilist for over a year and I am loving it! For those not familiar with moral Nihilism, it is basically not believing a sense of "right" or "wrong". Anything goes. I have never felt freer. However, that doesn't mean that go around committing acts of anarchy! What philosophical doctrines do you subscribe to?

    I agree with St. Kehovah. Morally, there isn't right or wrong. There are actions, then you have the intentions behind them.

    I believe in psychological egoism. I think that people are inherently selfish, and make choices based on their selfishness. It pleases most people to do good things; it makes them feel better as a person and more useful to the society. You could say that we treat our friends kindly because it benefits us to do so. You like seeing them happy. You like being the cause of their happiness. I don't believe in altruism.
