      Few ideas strike me as sillier than the notion that humans have "natural rights."

      That's on my list of things to read about when I have time. Occasionally I grill people on what the line is between what's a natural right and what's not and haven't gotten a great answer yet, though.

      Or, how do I discover a natural right? Why do so many people disagree on natural rights? What's the ontological status of a natural right? I just bite the secular, rule-based utilitarian (without the capital u) bullet and leave the metaphysics to the scholars of Plato : )

      "Natural rights" is a secularization of fundamental religious values. It's a quick & dirty way to bootstrap a secular framework for government. It's not unlike @SamHarrisOrg's claim that science can do ethics - but he begins with "we can all agree reducing suffering is desirable"

      In private convos I've twice reduced Objectivists to admitting a trivial definition of "selfish" - viz satisfying one's own preferences, even preferences to respect the rights of others. Toothless egoism.

      Not that there's anything wrong with toothless egoism. It's probably right! But it takes the wind out if Rand's sails.
