RE: People loving nature are true hypocrites, and I can prove it.
Yeah, I know exactly what you mean and I totally agree. When speaking of nature, most people think of things like beautiful landscapes or majestic animals. But nature is much more, it doesn't know moral, it's primitive and cruel. In your own words: Nature wants to you be a rapist and murder. And this actually what survival of the fittest is about, not more or less. The strongest, cruelest, most cunning and most egoistic species have the best chance to survive and reproduce.
I wouldn't want to lump egoism in there; Nature is below selfishness/greed. Selfishness/greed make sense; Promoting your germline/genes does not. Selfishness, at least, can lead to great things (someone may want to help others to boost his ego, or wants to live in a world where people are happy because that makes THEM happy. Both of those are selfish.
Not as much a defence of selfishness as pointing out that even human greed is a more "good" thing than primitivism. There is no such thing as the noble savage.
