"I pretend my choices effect the lives of humanity as a whole to mask my insecurities and vices with a veneer of virtue. I've subscribed to both Malthusianism and the tenets of the sexual revolution so I can justify my selfish desire for no-strings-attached sex by saying that since I'm not procreating it's ok. Then I can look down on those in committed monogamy who are selflessly sacrificing for their partner and progeny because they are clogging up valuable space and resources in an overpopulated earth. And that is selfish."
