  1. Hi Stephen and Ellen Let me explain something, I am not an Objectivist. I have been informed by Objectivism and I accept this: In other words I accept rational self-interest, but I don't accept that for any or all contexts, the only ultimate value I can hold is my own life. Why??? Because if I have choice, but can't choose any other ultimate value that my own life, then I have no choice at all. Mikkel
  2. Hi Stephen. Thanks for welcoming me. Why the part of - or the survival of their species - in "All living organisms are engaged in continual integrated actions suited to their individual survival or the survival of their species."? Further shouldn't it be that - all all living organisms are engaged in continual integrated actions suited to their individual survival - and nothing more? Mikkel
  3. http://www.objectivistliving.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=12022&view=findpost&p=162249 I can't get it to add up to this: If we as humans have volutation then we don't have it if we can't choose our individual ultimate value, but if we can choose our individual ultimate value, then we can have anotherindividual ultimate value than our own individual lives.
