Using your reason, your hard work, your ambition -- You Did Build That...

@yaronbrook Sounds nice. So why are some many objectivists (not you as far as I know) pissing on the brilliant work of scientists by spreading antivaxx lies? Burned out doctors are shrugging because objectivists ensured they never ran out of sick/angry patients.

@JHowardBrainMD People can be wrong -- even when they claim to adhere to the right philosophy.

@yaronbrook @Romantic_Artist Have we made progress since 1957 and the publication of Atlas Shrugged? Or is the world drifting towards totalitarianism?

@MrPeteCochran @Romantic_Artist Both.

@yaronbrook This is the reason Silicon Valley entrepreneurs are worth celebrating in spite of leftist politics. They excel at the above.

@yaronbrook what if I want to keep something I contracted for but didn’t create?

@yaronbrook Maui was covered by Ayn Rand with the tunnel disaster.

@yaronbrook You are right sir!

@yaronbrook Thank you Yaron!

@yaronbrook Unless you happen to be child killed in a government war.

@yaronbrook Reason forbids all governments - all force against the innocent that governments depend on. All humans want to do 'good', what they believe is right. When their moral code is reversed and they try to do their new 'good', evil is always the result.

@yaronbrook Since people always try to do good according to their such concept, freedom is the only condition necessary for the real good to triumph as people learn from their mistakes what the real good is. Objectivism will penetrate the world as the source of knowledge of real good.

@yaronbrook Perfectly stated.

@yaronbrook True, that. Profit means you produced more than you consumed. You took ideas, and capital, and labor, and your own entrepreneurial spirit, and made it all more than the sum of its parts. What could possibly be more worthy of moral praise than that?

@yaronbrook I recently read something an Objectivist wrote and it was very similar to what you've written here. He had a very convincing argument but he stated he think that a culture of reason wasn't possible in his lifetime ,or words to that effect. I am nearing 70 and I sometimes think...

@yaronbrook no man is an island.

@yaronbrook Thanks Yaron

@yaronbrook Unfetterd economic progress will lead to ecological disaster. If you can't see that then I wouldn't say you're naive but I have a timeshare apartment in Kabul you might be interested in.
