jts Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This is a question I asked on Leonard Peikoff's website a few minutes ago. Imagine you are on a panel, perhaps a panel of Objectivists, and you get to ask questions directed to Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump. The questions are not screened; you get to ask any questions you want to ask. Perhaps there are armed guards protecting you against being tased, as what happened to one student when he asked a wrong question. Seems to me most questions that are put to politicians are not very philosophical and are not the most important questions. Who better than an Objectivist to ask the right questions to show up those politicians as what they are? What questions would you ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who can't answer that question correctly is not qualified to become the government. How many politicians would pass this one test? Did any journalist ask any politician this question ever in the entire history of politics anywhere on planet Earth? Probably almost never. Disgusting.
