Document Summary

Ee is an ethical theory about our ethical obligations, duties, etc. Ee does not say never help others. Ee does not say you ought to do what you want (want, must, etc. ) We collectively do better if each acts for self. Never use ought or should - states what is or is not the case. There is only one desire that humans have - in their own interest. There is a possibility for one to care about the well being of others, but one must.
