You can be blamed for missing it because you haven't actually taken the time to read and understand her. Well that's your opinion. All traders are dec...

I didn't say that.

Yeah, that's why we throw them in jail or they become homeless.

How? So you admit that in order to live and prosper someone needs facts. Finally. What do you mean by that? Well how would you define it? Mysticism is...

How does mysticism help someone live life and prosper if mysticism cannot get them the facts and actually distorts the facts?

Yes it is. Humans have the potential for reason and use reason. Therefore, humans deal with each other according to individual rights. We respect each...

They were condescending first. You were condescending first. If I'm already summed up according to my age and my favorite philosopher, especially by p...

I'm not a randian. I'm an Objectivist.

I think you're missing the point of what she's trying to say. Traders are individuals who recognize property rights. Individuals are responsible and i...

Okay yes, I agree.

Alright, there is no objective purpose to life. I’m wrong. I think the purpose of life is life, but it doesn’t make it objective. It’s my own subjecti...

Why are the people around me so stupid?

No one should get the opportunity. Capitalism is the only individualistic system. It's certainly isn't socialism. The word "social" is opposite of ind...

I don't think you understand what I mean when I say contradiction. I'm not saying that there can't be paradoxes like cold and hot. What I'm saying is ...

It makes perfect sense. Life is an end in itself. No that is the purpose. Your purpose is to live. My purpose is to live. That's everyone's purpose. N...

pffff... Kant sucks.

Of course not.

Plants can't reason and humans can.

Yes, I agree.

Even if plants could feel pain, I’d still eat them anyway because plants are inferior to humans.

People are entitled to wrong opinions.

You can believe what you want, but that doesn't mean I can't disapprove of your beliefs.

Well, the people who don't take their faith so seriously are fine I guess. They are fine because their reason overpowers their faith. They don't actua...

Okay then...

There's millions of examples. People who believe in God tell homosexuals that they can't be homosexual. They even use their faith as an excuse to hurt...

I didn't say that because we have reason, life has a purpose. I said because life has a purpose to live, it is an objective fact that we must use reas...

Let's just say someone is wrong and not give a reason why they're wrong. People are wrong just because I say so. Makes perfect sense.

Which one? Can you point to anything I say at all?

Which one of my arguments fails? Be specific or I'm just going to assume that you're insulting me because you like to feel superior to people you disa...

I mean yeah, but that observation is trivial and doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Humans need to reason and cannot rely on instinct to li...

How do you know a conclusion of reality cannot be known to be of actual reality if you don't know what actual reality actually is? Because you say tha...

The purpose of life is life. Life does what it can to live. Planets get sunlight to live without thinking. Animals hunt to live based on instinct. Hum...

Disagree. There is living in accordance to reality and there is not living in accordance with reality. Mystics don't live in accordance to reality. Th...

What's the difference between religious faith and normal faith? They are both faith. Religion is worthless.

I don't understand this.

Well actually you don't know if you'll go to hell or not, only I can know. But I can't prove it to you. But you should accept it blindly because appar...

But you were advocating for faith weren't you? Have faith in the Flying Spaghetti Monster. You'll go to hell if you don't you know.

I don't really know what you mean. Are you saying that reality can contradict itself? That 5 = 8?

If A = 5 And B = 8 Does A = B? Does 5 = 8? No. A = A 5 = 5 8 = 8

You can call something a different name, but that doesn't change what it actually is. You can call me AppLeo or call me by something else, but the ess...

Yeah.. let's laugh instead of providing arguments. Laughing at positions we disagree with is for the most philosophically and intellecutally inclined....

By taking away government power. How do you take away government power? Well the people decide that. But people nowadays have chosen to give the gover...

Don't know much about Greenspan. Trump may have read Atlas Shrugged, but he his no objectivist. And it's weird that republicans like her considering t...

If they did take her seriously she would destroy them, so it's no wonder.

And don't forget about the cronies. Businessmen pay off politicians to pass regulations to benefit them at the expense of their competitors. Which aga...

People should be free to make their own decisions about what it is they want to buy and sell. Nobody else should have that authority over you. A gover...

If they have evidence. If someone has a mystical experience with the Flying Spaghetti Monster why should I believe them if they can't prove it to me? ...

You are wrong on so many levels. The Soviet Union and the Cultural Revolution in China killed MILLIONS of people. Free enterprise has never killed any...

So because can't verify something, we should just fill the holes and hope we're right? I think it's intellectually lazy and destructive to claim a tru...

Well we aren't talking about the same kind of faith anymore. Faithful in the sense in being loyal to someone is fine. Faith in terms of accepting trut...
