Oh I don't meant to do that I think. I just thought of that friend due to how hard it is to emphathize with him during discussions about rand/objectivism. It's so non-human to take egoism to that extreme. But I still try and I don't consider him stupid/inhuman for holding those beliefs.

It’s all good! Just funny in context. I didn’t take it as particularly rude or anything.

And yeah it’s good of you to do that. A little empathy/softer language can go a long way
