I don't think you understood my position in the above post. I don't approve of clippy using my atoms for paper-clips, yet I can't deny that for him that may very well be the rational choice. If that is the case it is hard argue that the regular meaning of the words "best for him" dosen't includes turning me into paper-clips.

Clearly from the perspective of someone slightly more selfish or less altruistic or different (for example non-Western) values sometimes the application of violence is the rational course of action.

I don't think I understand why this particular post is down voted. Seems to be true to me.
