Ayn Rand's a cool author but I don't have any of her books just exerpts so you should have my address in your inbox in a second. i don't remember you making that offer, though, I just remember you bringing up Atlas Shrugged because Iwastalking about selfishness or something. I thought fountainhead was also fiction?
"You know I really don't know why people think humans are anything more than animals."
that was a rhetorical statement by the way Ido know why I just think it's retarded. Usually when I say "I don't know why" it means that I think somebody's making a bad decision.
"it's just that what's in there generally has no relation whatsoever to reality. "
Thisstrikes me as really odd because the only thing I care about is reality (not even just humanreality just reality). When I talk about humans being animals that's reality, when i say it's our big brain giving us the capacity to be smart it's reality. I mean, we've had so many discussions about this and even what I think is necessary for our Governments and education process if we want to raise "Humans" and not animals.
I think most people live in an illusory world where they ignore the cold hard facts in exchange for happy, self-indentifying facts that make them feel better about living.
How is what I say "Unrealistic"? I state problems, the nature of the problem, and rarily state an unrealistic solution. I try to state reality
ps actually i rarily read wikipedia and never read linked articles unless I'm interested or something. Usually all of my "Johnny on the spot" with knowledge comes from looking at a word and estimating it's meaning then just ranting.
