When you say humility is for the weak, you ignore the most imporant aspects (bold converted to emphasis, my own bolding added):


Without humility, it is impossible to exchange value to everybody's mutual benefit.

However, since you seem to have a strange definition of "value", maybe my arguement doesn't apply.

Inventions take investment.  Drugs costs hundreds of millions to develop.  If you remove the protection of the patent system, research stops as there is no way to pay for it.

That's fine if you are happy that all medical research and technical innovations that can be found have been found.  Most people will not agree with you and want to encourage development of new drugs and other things that might improve life.

Well gift is something given with no expectation of repayment.  A favor is generally something given with expectation of it being paid back, as in repay the favor.  

Unilateral decision means one of two or more sides, you are speaking about people in general in the sentence you used it in, there is no other side.  A better word would be unanimous, which means in complete agreement, which fits the context of what you were trying to say much better.  

Additionally, your talk of "creating value" is odd, you don't create value.  You create or do things that are valued, or have value, you don't create value.

Also your writing style in general is odd, the many sentence fragments really break up the rhythm of what you are trying to say.  I also saw what you said about not agreeing with the definition of the words, but that just doesn't make sense.  It's the definition whether you agree or not, isn't it?

I think humility is valid in the sense that you are always subservient to reason and evidence. If you make a claim which later turns out to be false, then humility may allow you to admit that you were wrong and embrace the truth.

In other words, I think humility is about loyalty to the message of philosophy, rather than the messenger. A philosopher without humility can never change their viewpoint even in the light of new evidence in support of a contrary viewpoint. A philosopher with humility with always look at everything from first principles, and change his mind when appropriate.

Does that make sense?

I don't really know who you are, but is English your second language?  If it is that's cool, I can't imagine talking in your primary language, but you should cut out the big words, most of them don't mean what you seem to think they mean. 

I agree with the sentiment, but have you given any thought that maybe you're pretty weak and insecure yourself for requiring this much attention on a daily basis and generally being a very emotional person?

If you decide that stealing someone else's work and selling it for your own profit is what you want as a career, its far more likely that you'll simply be sued for the undeserved earnings.  If you decide to inflict violence on the law enforcement staff, that would be very sad.

That's your opinion.  You are entitled to it.  But those of us who like living in societies where innovation makes us rich compared to the rest of the world are entitled to disagree.

I try to not talk up how awesome I am (except right now ), and to show it instead by my actions.

Hey Lord?

The sanctimonious twit you want to lay a fire and brimstone smite-down on? He's right up there ^.

Amen.

Self-abasement is the antithesis of morality. If a man has acted immorally, but regrets it and wants to atone for it, it is not self-abasement that prompts him, but some remnant of love for moral values—and it is not self-abasement that he expresses, but a longing to regain his self-esteem. Humility is not a recognition of one’s failings, but a rejection of morality. “I am no good” is a statement that may be uttered only in the past tense. To say: “I am no good” is to declare: “—and I never intend to be any better."

Humility and presumptuousness are always two sides of the same premise, and always share the task of filling the space vacated by self-esteem in a collectivized mentality. The man who is willing to serve as the means to the ends of others, will necessarily regard others as the means to his ends.

There is no more despicable coward than the man who deserted the battle for his joy, fearing to assert his right to existence, lacking the courage and the loyalty to life of a bird or a flower reaching for the sun. Discard the protective rags of that vice which you call a virtue: humility—learn to value yourself, which means: to fight for your happiness—and when you learn that pride is the sum of all virtues, you will learn to live like a man.
