*Incoherent grunting*
Don’t be silly, Spike.  You have been reading too much Ayn Rand.  Though all ethical systems are inherently subjective, it is obscene beyond all measure to claim that selfishness is the highest ideal.  Though all ethical systems are in reality based upon a certain degree of egoism, as even a good person is driven to do good because of how the good act and its repercussions makes him or her feel, an ethical system based upon the outright rejection of altruism would be unsustainable in any actual society. It just would not work, nope, nope, nope!

No I am not reading Atlas Shrugged, Spike, that thing is nearly as long as the Seven Hunters, and it even has a 60 page speech.  Ayn Rand should have hired a better editor than the yellowbellies.

Um… what is he saying?  That he wants food?
Probably  :lol
Don’t be silly.  Spike said that although he enjoys stories that break the mould and deconstruct the tired deontological moral theories of Kant and others, that sometimes it is good to break out of one’s comfort zone.  He feels that to continue the tired narratives of the past would be to deprive you all of the chance to grow as a person. As Friedrich Nietzsche told us the will to power drives men to create, and it is the most important drive, more important than even the will to life.  The moment that drive dies so does the will to power, and with it, the spirit of the man.  And we do not want that, nope, nope, nope.

Another dark prompt? Don’t you think you two are taking this a little far?
I… what? Not really. People seem to enjoy writing this sort of thing.
I mean… if it wasn’t for darker fics then what would I write?
Well there are all sorts of nice things you could write about! Yep, yep, yep!
