  1. Why would Objectivism that is a proponent of capitalism and the complete opposite of any and all forms of anarchism ever be "lumped in" by anyone ever with its antithesis?
  2. -- CAV Link to Original Not "tomorrow", things like this are happening to good patriotic Americans like myself right now, but I there is a very good chance that this is possibly the purpose of this extremely large criminal organization running the streets of the Midwest destroying American citizen's lives like my own and why reaching out to every federal agency to stop this mass criminal activity is constantly met with silence, more crimes committed against myself, and a smear campaign.
  3. No, it's not and I don't make arbitrary claims. But this will be my last response to you as you and several others should be completely ignored so that that you leave this Forum.
  4. "Magical" thinking. Go away, this is how science comes into existence. Einstein created General and Special Relativity originally via thought experiment and every instance of every idea presented is rooted in experiment and established science, just had to get rid of the contradictions in various theories, correct them, and make them completely consistent with reality. And all of that coming from a guy above that keeps resorting to blatant mysticism in many of his comments while also attacking every reality based philosophical principle and trying to replace it with mysticism in his mind. People should recognize what you are doing and stop conversations with you immediately. Which is what I'm going to do from this point forward as you've shown the inability to think rationally and reality based.
  5. In other words, derail a thread, an entire forum, and a conversation that lead to the advancement of human knowledge on a historical scale.
  6. You see the level of conversation that we had about this in the past (6 years ago now) and it's being buried by the trivial and irrelevant. For what it's worth I now know the way around mind transfer via finishing my entire theory and it involves more than just entanglement but also the fact that ER = EPR. But this conversation sparked the completion of the Final Theory of Physics.
  7. Or short circuit it all and create our own nation. And yeah, I've heard I believe it was Yaron Brooks objection that governments won't allow even floating nations at sea. The thing is its none of their business how a new nation is created as long as they are rights respecting free nations which a new Objectivist founded nation would be the shining example of. ***Actually I'll go a step further and make it official. I'm founding the Constitutional Republic of Atlantis right this second. I need no person, group, or government's sanction nor approval and it now officially in existence. Let's start building it!***
  8. But were they arrived at via reason as a consequence of man's nature in reality without being linked to supernatural entities? Again, coming to correct conclusions for the wrong reasons still means that the answer is incorrect. That said, I have no interest in any form of mysticism from any culture. It's a direct rejection of reality, and not worth any type of discussion as the arbitrary should only be dismissed without discussion.
  9. No, I know with 100% absolute certainty that anything based on any type of mysticism of any type is incorrect even if they occasionally reach the correct answer for the absolute wrong reasons. An instance off the top of my head is the Christian "thou shall not kill". The correct principle behind that is of course respect of every individual's right to life and not a random "commandment" from an imaginary dictorial being who even if one of these things existed would have no right to do so and would be violating morality by definition by acting as a dictator over others.
  10. There's no such thing as a "dharmic" principle. You are resorting to complete arbitrary mysticism. Essentially, everything from every religion has to be dismissed instantly out of hand by moral rational people.
  11. Animals do not possess the ability to use reason as it is a conceptual process (which animals lack) and requires the use of logic which requires the ability to form concepts and which is required for non-contradictory identification. Also, reason isn't an infallible process as errors are possible but the use of reason allows one to correct any errors of knowledge.
  12. Completely arbitrary assertion (and an example of smearing).
  13. Ayn Rand "Philosophy studies the fundamental nature of existence, of man, and of man's relationship to existence. In the realm of cognition, the special sciences are the trees, but philosophy is the soil which makes the forest possible." Quote right from this forum.
  14. My guess is that this was done purposely and like not by Gus.
  15. What is wrong with you? What is good for the life of man qua man is the good and what is opposed to the life of man qua man is the evil, and this directly follows from man's nature as a rational being. Why are you even on this forum, let alone the mass of anti-Objectivists also posting. You are lucky that I was demodded for enforcing the forums (appropriate) rules as written and in context.
