my homie callicles, or, as I call him, C-Dog, says it enhances the good life as he is a very egotistic man who is not necessarily ignorant of other people' interests, or "downsides", to him, but rather is interested in his own interests, or "the better". Therefore, i believe if there is a contentious question such as this, then Callicles would see the good side of it, the benefiting side.
