Ethical Egoism advocates that each of us divide the world into two categories of people-ourselves and all the rest-and that we regard the interests of those in the first group as more important than the interests of those in the second group.

Are my accomplishments greater? Do I have needs or abilities that are so different from the needs and abilities of others? What is it that makes me so special? Failing an answer, it turns out that Ethical Egoism is an arbitrary doctrine, in the same way that racism is arbitrary. View quote
