On Balance Humans Should Adopt Ethical Egoism as a Worldview

For the purpose of keeping this debate from becoming more muddled than it already is, I'm going to go ahead and stick with Pro's option B -- defending the status quo. All I have to do to win the debate is show that the status quo is better off than a world in which everyone abides by ethical egoism. That said, Pro clearly loses this debate because of his complete lack of response to some of my major arguments & rebuttals.Egoism is a self-refuting worldviewPro spends a massive amount of space describing the differences between egoism and utilitarianism, but I'm not sure why because all that does is re-iterate the impact of this argument. The entire point was that egoism devolves into utilitarianism *despite* the two being total opposites, and therefore it is a self-refuting worldview. Pro misses the point of my argument, instead misconstruing it as some sort of ridiculous equivocation between the two ethical systems based on their societal impacts... or something. I have no idea what he thought I was arguing. But the point is that I wasn't.Ultimately, as a result of Pro's misunderstanding, he is non-responsive to my reasoning -- all human beings have fundamentally equal moral worth, so there's no rational basis for any single individual to value his own well-being above that of everybody else. From an objective perspective, egoism necessarily collapses into utilitarianism and refutes itself. It is an untenable worldview, and should be rejected in favor of pretty much anything else (which is what happens under the status quo). Utilitarian framework to affirm Egoism? Pro doesn't contest this turn at all. Instead, he reinforces it. In Pro's own words: "The reason I'm affirming in favor of Ethical Egoism is because of the potential to reduce harm." As I've already explained, this is paradoxical -- he's conceding that the collective good has paramount moral value, which is completely antithetical to egoism. Since he himself recognizes that the end-goal is to benefit society, then why bother having everyone be an egoist? Why not cut to the chase and just have everyone adopt utilitarianism in the first place? Pro's approach to affirming the resolution inadvertently negates it. The closest Pro gets to rebutting this is providing a couple of examples where utilitarianism supposedly prescribes net-harmful actions, but they all ignore the "rule" aspect of utilitarianism, which allows for moral constructs like human rights to be justified on the basis of the positive utility they generate. Really, it's rather absurd to believe that an ethical system whose only criterion is "maximizing the collective good" could possibly result in harm to the collective good... Egoism + Kant =/= EgoismEven if we grant Pro his paradoxical framework, his victory in this debate depends on showing that egoism is beneficial to society, yet he didn't even bother mentioning the rebuttal where I contested that notion! This basically ensures my victory. As I already explained, his case for egoism being beneficial fails because it relies on a Kantian-hybrid straw-man of egoism. Meanwhile, I offered some very simple reasoning for why egoism would result in the destruction of civilization -- it obligates everyone to simultaneously pursue their self-interests, whatever they may be, without regard for how it may affect other people. Let the rapist rape, let the thief thieve, and let the murderer murder! As long as the actor determines an action to be in his self-interest, he must go through with it. The resolution can literally be summarized as "everyone should be a psychopath" -- it's quite plain to see that Pro's world is much, much worse off than the status quo.The resolution remains negated.
