Lots of people would die if they'd have to pay for their food from the value they add. It's an evolutionary advantage; maximize your gain, minimize the effort.

No it's not. Putting burden on others to have a simpler life is not evolutionary, it's actually opposite of that. Part of the limbic system of our brain is responsible for caring about our kind/species. Some worms don't have it and don't care if by moving over their new born children, they even kill some. We aren't like that. If someone is, he has brain issues.

Whehe, altruism brings a lot more magic than egotism, you're right there. Still, looks as if those without a consciousness are winning :(

I think winners aren't the most happy or successful among us. I value happiness and success in life, more than winning a lot of money but this is just a personal idea. :-)

Some people earn money without adding any value to economy. Just wanted to buy a domain name and noticed someone (who already bought over 100 other names) bought it already and now asks for "4 figures" money to give it to others. :-/

If your neighbours don't listen to The Ramones, turn it up real loud so they can.

The theory of evolution says you have to attempt to multiply your DNA as good as posssible. ..but happiness, is simply a cop o' coffee in the morning. Guess it'll depend on your definition of "happiness".

How is caring for the species not in fact a gain? And that ignores the fact that it just isn't true. Armies have been killing civilians, including women and children for a long time specifically for gain. Altruism in its modern form it based on plenty. If I have plenty of food (and other life necessities) then I can rationalize giving it away in any way that I want but it doesn't alter the fact that there is only because there is extra that it happens. Other than that theories for genetic altruism are based on the idea that one is protecting the genetic pool by caring for ones children, near relatives and social community. That however is still based on protecting genetics which is a gain.

Register your business using that name, conduct some commerce using it for a while, and then require them to give it up. See the ICANN rule b-i. http://www.icann.org/en/help/dndr/udrp/policy[^]

So, the money they earn is not added to the system, so they are stealing money from others. And so if you are interested, let's discuss it!

Not sure that'd apply to a business registered after the domain was originally registered.

No you're not. Based on what you wrote, I'd say you are worried. Although part of this state in my opinion is rooted the real problem of possibility of lack of the right name when you need it, but since you aren't faced with the problem right now, this mindset I believe is nervousness. I too suffer from it. Nervousness, if not fought with, might extend to other areas of life too. ;-)

Oh yes he is, he is happily sitting on a bunch of names hoping someone will offer a reasonably price for them. While I believe in capitalism I would find it irritating if I wanted a domain with a squatter on it!

Naturally that statement isn't true. If you pay them for it I am rather certain that it will in some way be used in the economy.

I'm not sure, even if it does, its' harm is far more than its' "use" in my opinion.

I use my common sense for that and look at it this way: If I sacrifice something in my life, like health (could be mental health) to gain one thing, then I'm a winner but not happy so I no longer call that success. A good example is all the famous and rich actors or singers who commit suicide.

Have no idea but people who look for pleasure whole their lives did not become very happy in the end either. (Drug addicts for instance. ;-) )

Maybe, but the cost of trying a wrong theory in this case is a lot, I'd rather think about it through.

You're wrong. It's correct.
jschell wrote:

Wrong again. A good example to prove it wrong is when a disaster happens. Some people put their own lives in danger to save others. One such an example is enough to prove this idea is wrong, although there are a lot of such examples and I am sure you've heard, read or probably seen it.
jschell wrote:

Regardless of the theory that proves people care about each other and reasons for that care, the fact is that they do and if they don't, they are probably not healthy. So again, I believe, if someone is thinking only about his/her gain while that gain puts extra burden and misery on shoulders of others, that is not in line with human nature or evolution and is a problem in economy.

Seems like if you are just sitting on a domain with no use of it except advertising yourself and attempting to sell it to someone who might need it, you're in bad faith, even if you camped it first. It's certainly worth writing to the registrar and asking about it.
