I am currently visiting this planet. One of my questions is why do so many people seem intent on destroyying others? Why are there things you call wars? Can the Earth not continue without war? Peace to you all

When Rand herself is taken to her logical extremes, she is not proven wrong, but only proven to be someone that particular people to do not like. She has been described as "cold," and as "black-and-white," but not proven epistemologically wrong. When she proves other thinkers to be epistemologically incorrect by drawing their ideas out to the extreme that it leads to, she is villified. Her own extremes led to the book "Atlas Shrugged." Every reader of this book sees her point and does not disagree that it is the extreme. They only say, "Oh it will never get that bad," yet year after year we grow ever closer to the extremes she proved would become our destruction. I believe she upsets people because they do not want to see her extreme become reality, yet refuse to accept that it is already happening. My own literature teachers told me I would "grow out of" Rand's ideas. Arrogance knows no bounds.

The question basically is, would you still buy a Ferrari or an equally expensive car, if nobody ever saw you driving in it? If you lived in an area where the population was extremely small, and basically you never saw people throughout the day, would you still buy and ultra-luxury item, if no one ever saw you in it? Is buying a 200K dollar car about you wanting to drive it, or wanting to be SEEN driving it?

Why is bringing the Taliban into the Afghanistan government "respecting the right of a sovereign country to self-determination" ?


typical media grab:
"Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, wants to bring the Taliban into the government, so (Des) Browne's position is not totally unreasonable. It's respecting the right of a sovereign country to self-determination"

typical media grab:
"It makes sense to give the Taliban an official platform for expression".

The basic question I am posing here is as to what makes us choose to take any responsibility for a period well beyond our own lifetime.

In this time of crisis, where every single teen is more focused in simple things that doesn't require a lot of thinking, and where we all take the easy path, i can't hesitate to wonder, what about the lost competitiveness? how do we improve it? how do we make of ourselves a competitive person in this world? what do we need to be better and to be able to compete with the others and win? is there any suggestion? thanks a lot! have a nice day!
