  1. Let's not discuss Rand for a moment then; in ordinary life you are bound to come across people whose intentions you will be guessing in order to make a rational decision. Is it ok, according to you, to assume that someone will make an immoral decision in the future, thus in a way labeling them as irrational? Maybe people didn't love others for the weaknesses, but I do recall a similar theme/thought being invoked by my reading AS. Was it perhaps that some boss didn't like dagny for hir power and autonomy while loving the weaker employees thus making the boss' love immoral?
  2. English is not my first language. My question concerning "the notion" referred to the impression I got that rand deemed the action of assuming immorality of others itself an immoral act. Was I on to something or simply conjured up this notion myself? 2 is a statement. Do you agree with it, and does rand? Imagine my statement being said by rand, do you recognize it? If one believes that to be human is to err, then humanity is doomed to always be wrong and not strive for perfection. Some people in atlas shrugged loved others because of their weaknesses, because then they wouldn't feel so small. And well, learning through pain is noble indeed, but how does rand see on this; does a moral lesson that hurts make you more a saint?
  3. I have read atlas shrugged and some wikipedia articles on objectivism, a couple of years ago (when bioshock was released). I remember some thought that inspired me from atlas shrugged, but don't remember where or what they were about in the book, which is what I want your help with. 1. Assuming that others are evil, lie or will perform bad actions was deemed immoral somehow. Not perhaps that it was your duty as a moral person to believe in the goodness of others, but that it was bad, unconvient, or similar, to do so. Anyone know where I got this from or if it was what ayn rand (or some character from atlas shrugged) was trying to say? How was this notion conceived of? 2. Learning through pain is noble according to christianity, which is bollocks. To human is not necessarily to err, and humanity must not be eternally doomed. We must not like people for the good attributes and love them for their lack thereof, but rather the other way around; otherwise we are cowardly and hide in the failure of others. Does this ring any bell and does it sound randish?
