I plead guilty to heresy and blasphemy in the Church of Objectivism. My self imposed punishment is excommunication, permanent exile and banishment. Good Night and Good Luck.

Hello, Brant Gaede. I am flattered that a person of your brilliance deigned to read and respond to my stupidity. Unfortunately, those are moments out of your life you will never get back.

Objectivism, like all forms of religious dogma, is a sublime doctrine on paper. It's foremost proponents do a magnificent job of articulating its ideals. Unfortunately, the devil is always in the details. It is an agonizing ordeal to be a physical manifestation of the perfection a mind conceives. Ayn Rand is the high priestess of Objectivist religion; yet even she could not overcome the faults, defects and shortcomings of being human. Ayn Rand was intellectually brilliant but an emotional basket case who debased herself in her relentless, depraved obsession with Nathaniel Branden. The latest high profile convert to the Church of Objectivism is one Troi "Star" Torain. His obesity and objective hatred will turn into existential optimism if he spends his time eating salads and jogging around Central Park instead or reading Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead.
