Mammon Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 To answer the original question -- perhaps she didn't know? It's an interesting paradox, why does a philosophy grounded in things like individualism,self-interest, rational thinking, and a focus on finding the truth in things... is inhabited by some of the most collectivist, rationalistic, and close-minded charlatans? *In other words -- why does a philosophy that rails against everything cults teach have people who actually treat it like a cult? That's not an insult to the philosophy, just certain people who claim to practice it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not an insult to the philosophy, just certain people who claim to practice it. This is hardly the fault of the philosophy, but rather those that look for a cult within the philosophy. One would think it obvious that the actions of a few individuals that label themselves as "Brand X" do not necessarily impugn all adherents of "Brand X". That would be collectivist thinking, no?
