Excellent video for the SpookyKitty types that I don't wish to speak to.

https://courses.aynrand.org/lexicon/words/ This is the context discussion is supposed to start from. The basic Objectivist corpus of *all* the nonfiction must be understood and integrated for useful productive conversation to occur. Everyone keeps trying to constantly reinvent the wheel at random points when the corpus that was included on the Objectivist Recearch CD ROM must all be read and integrated before all of these random off track conversations appear, and then this context is applied to concretes.

Here's the correct answer from ARI. https://youtu.be/bulgIVm2evY?si=KksUcJSAEch9orBq

Very rare in today's collectivist/altruist brainwashed society where people pretend that they can't understand arguments, principles, ideas, reason given in perfectly clear English.

These are points that I thought about making, especially regarding the non-existence of collective thought and ideas as these are all aspects of individual minds even when correct ideas are shared between many individuals as in the example you gave above. It's hard to respond to a post as you did because while some of that poster's ideas were on the right track as their is nothing wrong with collaboration between individuals most of what he wrote contained implicit collectivist principles that the poster had absorbed likely in youth and still hasn't identified and fully rooted out of his subconscious assumptions and premises fully. And this is clearly a rational person on the right track with mostly reality based thinking. Now try to do that with people who constantly throw out random out of context floating abstractions and/or non-reality based thoughts that they have passively and/or actively absorbed via "society" in place of rational thought, evidence, and reality and while actively parroting evil nonsense in a secondhanded manner and that's what proponents of the good such as myself, you, and very few others are up against.

These days essentially everyone is someone to be ordered around when such a thing should not exist as it's pure evil, un-American, anti-rights, anti-morality, and leads to the fall of civilization.

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?

-- 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.

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.

"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.

In other words, derail a thread, an entire forum, and a conversation that lead to the advancement of human knowledge on a historical scale.

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.

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!***

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.

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.
