The varied definitions circulating, demonstrates its just philosobabble. And per law, entities can, and do, receive protections without personhood status. And entities such as corporations, can indeed be persons

Well have you never felt moralised pride, for an achievement purely personal, that made you feel morally self righteous? Because I'm sure we all have
A lot of moral action is, as they say, like oissing oneself in a dark suit. It feels warm, but no one notices. We might ask why people continue to be moral, if it really is about others, and not oneself.

Moral reasonings are but a rationalisation of our gut feelings, which evolved through organic, evolutionary processes. Thus we evolved to cooperate, but not all ethical standards or moral choices, are interpersonal.

People will be people. Faced with human nature, for what it is, all we can do is respond to it. There are no unalienable rights, only subjective, competing interests. Their rights end where mine begin, and vice versa. I have no obligation to others, if it disadvantages myself

Well why are others obligated, towards those who don't reciprocate!

It's pointless to be tolerant, it's merely the absence of standards. However, if you view tolerance as a voluntary contract for the purposes of mutual respect, rather than an unconditional duty upon oneself, or an inherent right of others, then the paradox disappears - no freedom for the enemies of freedon

Reply to comment by frank_prajna in On Whether “Personhood” is a Normative or Descriptive Concept by ADefiniteDescription
Corporations in the US, believe it or not, are persons. Though human foetuses and cetaceans, for example, are not. Really its so corporations can make claims, and have claims made against them
