Thank you. This is potentially great news.

What makes you say that?

My action? I'm stuck on a train that will kill 1 person or 5 people no matter what I do. I can only minimize the casualties.

Notes and Comments on "The Virtue of Nationalism"
Craig24 replied to Grames's topic in Political Philosophy
To the extent that liberty is established and protected, something resembling "social order" is a by product. That's as far as I will go with it. -
What will make you happier. Having the ability to climb a mountain or just being at the top of it?

What do you think of "The Red Pill" worldview?
Craig24 replied to happiness's topic in Relationships, Love, Sex, Romance
False dichotomy. This assumes men have to choose between one or the other. Why can't he be both? Something else occurs to me: If you make enough money to be a good provider it means that you are productive. Productiveness (one of the seven major Objectivist virtues) is an "alpha" quality. What's "beta" about it? -

You are making my point for me. Thanks.

Is that what you made? A mere assertion? I think you know that no one is obligated to disprove a mere assertion. There is an invisible pink elephant in my bedroom. Can you disprove that assertion? Should you have to?

This presupposes that a family has to be sustained. Why is that necessary?
-
Craig24 reacted to a post in a topic: The family cannot survive without duty.
-
It's still not a duty. If you believe it is and choose accordingly you are just wrong.
-
No. It's ONLY a philosophy and NOT a movement. No philosophy is a movement. A movement to promote the philosophy isn't itself the philosophy. This distinction needs to be understood.

But is that really a duty? It wasn't god, people or nature that imposed this responsibility on the parents. There are options: abstinence, safe sex, abortion, adoption. If you choose to bypass all four, you're choosing to be a parent.
-
I've read them. I'm still not convinced that duty to family exists. Where would it come from? If it is imposed by a member of the family, which member and what gives him/her the authority to impose it?
-
Duty to whom? To do what? I'm confused. Ayn Rand defines duty as: the moral necessity to perform certain actions for no reason other than obedience to some higher authority, without regard to any personal goal, motive, desire or interest.
