well , about the first point , I believe in the principle of enlightened self-interest. my vision is that people are free to pursue their own individual interests and what is best for humanity.

I understand your concerns, and I admit that wisdomism is not perfect, but no moral system is perfect. If you set common sense and/or conscience aside, ANY principle can be twisted into something vile without violating it. even utilitarianism , for example, is not immune, see for example: utility monster, benevolent world exploder, and experience machine. but the fact that there is no perfect moral system does not make morality disposable.

but well i think probably for wisdomism to work it would need some kind of pragmatic rule system.
