That's just another religion...not even as insane as some of the other ones. They have the worst music though, I'll give you that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrison Danneskjold Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Psychiatric patients. James Holmes is a good example of bad (albeit non-Subjectivist) philosophy carried to its consistent extreme. He said that he'd initially considered having his killing spree at an airport, in order to maximize the casualties, but decided against it because it might be misconstrued as Islamic terrorism: Quote Terrorism isn't the message. The message is, there is no message. He's an excellent demonstration of the effects which evil doctrines have on those who actually try to live by them (indeed, I would argue that each suicide-bomber is another result of the same process). Consistent subjectivists aren't nearly as dangerous as consistent intrinsicists, though. When someone truly believes that reality is whatever they want it to be and the facts will bend themselves to conform to wishes, we simply take them to the funny farm (which is where they can survive in this non-absolute universe).

Did he get paid for the work he did or did he donate his ideas to people for free, purely out of a sense of duty? The consistent ones do not publish books; they simply die.
