Jan Narveson, a contract theorist who teaches philosophy at the university of Waterloo in Canada, writes in his book Moral Matters (1993) (side note: that was the year I was born! :)) Morals, if they are to be rational, must amount to agreements among people—people of all kinds, each pursuing his or her own interests, which are various and do not necessarily include much concern for others and their interests. But people have minds, and apply information gleaned from observing the world around them to the task of promoting their interests, and they have a broad repertoire of powers including some that can make them exceedingly dangerous, as well as other that can make them very helpful.
