That's a grandiose way of stating we shouldn't be codependent. Here's something a little more useful
“You see, Dr. Stadler, people don’t want to think. And the deeper they get into trouble, the less they want to think. But by some sort of instinct, they feel that they ought to and it makes them feel guilty. So they’ll bless and follow anyone who gives them a justification for not thinking. Anyone who makes a virtue–a highly intellectual virtue–out of what they know to be their sin, their weakness and their guilt.”
You post a lot of other people's words William. Just sayin. When asked who the is the most depraved type of individual, Francisco said, "The man without purpose" What is your purpose William? To worship and spread the words of others, or to live and express yourself in a way that leaves no doubt to others you are your own person? Even Rand was disgusted at the thought of Randians.
That's about what I expected from you. Dodge the question and call me a Marxist and drop the mic like you just dished out a slapdown. Maybe someday you will expand beyond Rand and Jefferson and read people like Emmerson, Thoreau, Adam Smith, Victor Hugo and countless others who have written about what it means to live in the real world versus the fantasy world of Rand's novels.
Max and William. Settle down you blokes; there is room for compromise here. Read Adam Smith and his Wealth of Nations then read Jefferson; His Bill in the Virginian legislature for Religious freedom, submitted in 1779 is a good starting point. Read also excerpts from his notes concerning religion "The care of every mans soul belongs to himself" Whether you perceive Smith or Jefferson to be left or right in the Political spectrum, both have plenty to offer those who came after and floundered around in the mire if uncertainty which they rose above.

"What is your purpose William?"
ReplyDeleteI will keep you guessing Maxie. But I am not above learning from the great minds of history.
You follow Marx and Mao.
I'll stick with the likes of Jefferson and Rand.

DeleteRead 'em all Maxie and don't discount any of their thoughts.
DeleteGo back to your pond and do some thinking.

"Go back to your pond and do some thinking."
DeletePithy William, very pithy.
Phank phew.
