In case you think
Yaron Brook is unrepresentative of the dork death cult known as Objectivism, here's my conversation with Robert Cons, Objectivist: (unedited, all emphasis original):
CONS: Any person who asks, "What is Objectivism?", should do a little reading and crucial thinking. To start with I suggest he read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, The Virtue of Selfishness, The Voice of Reason, and Leonard Peikoff's Objectivism, The Philosophy of Ayn Rand .
These are all great essential works that will help any honest seeker searching for true critical answers, that are based on reason and connected to reality, in todays dishonest culture.
Robert
MB: What is Objectivism? I'd say the kid got it about right: a murderous, collectivist cult, at least as practiced by ARI. One need only read the public statements of Brook.
CONS: No, both of you are totally wrong. Check your premises.
MB: Check what Brook has been saying. No decoder ring necessary.
CONS: Dr. Brook is correct in his statements.
If one is at war, obviously the objective is to win as quickly and completely as possible with overwhelming retailatory force, with the least lost of life and resources to your side.
The enemy includes all of his resources, whether government, soldiers, any supportive infrastructure or culture including any civilians.
Robert
MB: Dr. Brook and Osama bin Laden would get along quite nicely.
CONS: Absolute nonsense. You are not thinking at all and I am wasting my time with you. This thread is finished.
MB: Thank goodness. Go kill an Arab for Ayn, buddy.
