Shucks, to bring the huckster into this conversation is a comparison between the ideal (Plato) and the perception of Twain's character of sorts. Emphasizing the point that our leaders, Kings, and politicians, manipulate their surroundings to the limit that their language will allow, is less than ideal. The point here is that when our peers in positions of power take advantage of their own interests then we, rightfully, criticize the choices they make.

I would like to point out that normative self-interest is acceptable. How so? Well, let's talk about it. It involves a hierarchy of sorts, beautiful perhaps but an organized metaphysics that we can all actualize.
