When listening to you, it's like everything is always the Government's fault ^ ^;

"That's what it's all about, really. Freedom of choice. And that's the idea behind Free Market Capitalism. Sure, you may be eating literal garbage, smoking enough to cut your lifespan in half, and doing enough drugs to make yourself look eighty when you're really twenty, but the whole point is that you chose to do this to yourself. You are the only one responsible for your actions. Not the government, not the corporations, not anyone else, but you.

...so ethical egoism is a philosophy that puts cool principles above people's health/life ?

...which means a free world would be a world where the dumb and lazy masses can self-destruct their asses off without any kind of interference, while swarms of sociopathic corporations feast and fatten up on their personal misery and crumbling lives.

Okay, now we know for sure why Governments always existed in one form or another ^ ^;

"Sure, maybe. But if big businesses are offering high quality goods and services at low prices, low enough for the average consumer to afford, what's the problem? "

So you do agree that in pratice, a free-market is a world where the big eat the small, the bigger eat the big, and the biggest are so obscenely rich and omnipresent they are virtually untouchable, and their societal weight is so massive CEOs are even more powerful than official governments ? Especially since the consummating masses are so apathic and malleable in comparison, as Microsoft confirmed once again in our very real world.

The more we dig into the ramifications of ethical egoism, the more it looks like a Cyber Punk dystopia ^ ^; I mean seriously, read the trope again and you will find EE's tenets all over the background.
