Part 10:
The Seldon Dialogues, Excerpts --
The Dialectical Synthesis of Individualisms and/versus Collectivisms.
Dear Reader,
FYI --
It is my pleasure, and my
honor, as an Officer of the Foundation
Encyclopedia
Dialectica [F.E.D.]
Office of Public Liaison, to share with you, from time to time, as they are approved
for public release by the F.E.D. General Council, key
excerpts from the internal writings, and sayings, of our
co-founder, Karl Seldon.
The tenth such release in this new series is pasted in
below [Some E.D. standard edits have been applied, in the version presented below, to the direct
transcript of our co-founder’s discourse].
ENJOY!
Regards,
Miguel Detonacciones,

“... The dialectical synthesis
of individualisms
and collectivisms
-- of egoisms
and altruisms
-- though its existence is only emergent in our time humanity-wide,
still needs a name. ...”
“... Let us name its category ‘Omnisms’, or even ‘Allisms’.”
“These
names are apt because it seeks the good, not just for self,
e.g., at the expense of [all] others [=[criminal]
egoism],
and not just the good for [all] others except
for the self that is doing this seeking [[hypocritical,
almost masochistic]
altruism], but
simply seeks the good of all,
the self that
is doing this seeking included,
but not overemphasized. ...”
