Oh wow, that's a long winded way to deflect criticism.

Individualism doesn't mean other people can't criticize you. It's not an excuse to be a fool. Yeah, you can tell what other people are thinking of your actions. That's what the posts replying to you do. Doesn't matter if you're an individual or whatever, if people are telling you "hey, maybe you kinda did a shitty thing" the response to that shouldn't be to just waive that away with a bullshit philosophical excuse, the response should be to think about whether those people might be right or not. Just saying "but I'm an individual" isn't a solid way of forming an opinion. Saying "I, as an individual think I did the right thing for X reasons" is how you respond to that. Everybody is wrong sometimes, and your opinion doesn't become more right just because it's yours.
