Hello all that might read, new guy on the block here across the Atlantic. I presently don't know how much time I'll have to spare around here, but I hope I'll find some in the not so distant future in oder for me to talk with objective smart and intelligent people that might not only be a joy to be with but....I'll tell you: "I secretly plan for maybe being able to learn a few things in the process" ^^. I'm a relatively young guy (or at least I was, less so now than a couple of years ago...But time has flied fast) who have already some experience with ppl's nonsense giving the distinct and unpleasent sensation of needing to vomit. I've been looking, or rather dreaming that one day I would find some place, and some people at least that would be able to think in a straight line for lack of a better word. And not simply spew out subjective garbage and things like..."well, logic isn't always true/right, emotions and feelings are true too" Makes me go all 'Achmed the Dead Terrorist' on your ass proclaiming "I'll kill you !!!" (in a high pitched voice ofc for those who haven't heard it before) In short, what seems to me as objective, intelligent and critical thinking is what drew me here, and made my encounter with Objectivism. As well as a personal suspicion that ppl's kverulating and manipulating arguments is not simply the sum of bad thinking alone, but quite simply caused by a more pre-existing condition, dishonesty.
