It's easy: not tipping gives you an extra 18% of your dining out budget that you can spend on hookers & blow.
Better minds that I have talked about the quest for purpose in the absense of faith and I choose deliberately not to endorse any particular moral goal in this piece. selfish utilitarianism (is this really any different from hedonism?) is a good a goal as any although it's not one I personally choose as a moral end goal.
The crux of the argument is not about how you should act but you how you should fight your own moral revulsion when deciding how you should act.
For me, your comments are more about 'debasing language' than rebasing ethics. Your word choices are distracting. ... I feel something like mild moral revulsion to the words, 'dick', 'hookers' and 'blow'.
What the ?.. The OP, Shalmanese, didn't use "dick" in the post, only in a comment, and "hookers" and "blow" were used by someone else. You can find fault with the post on several grounds but "debasing language" seems out of line.
Not in the original article, but Shalmanese did use those words here and here.
