John Galt on A is A

I'd like to add that the philosphical axiom of A is A is not a 'logical
premise' but rather the driving force that defines reality for all life
forms. In man, it is represented as the most fundamental of human
concepts that defines reality for him by his own mind. Therefore, 'A is
A' evaluates logic and defines its' limitations as it does with all
human invention. It should not be confused with logic as logic cannot
evaluate what is more fundamental nor can the premise be held by faith
which is contraindictive in that faith holds to those things hoped for
and/or unseen. The premise is simply a component of the human mind and
common to all. To deny it is to deny the nose on one's own face.

Know then that the only alternative to 'A is A' is to adapt the opposing
premise that simply states 'A is not A'. To adapt this premise is to
succumb to denial, to admit stupidity, and to live a life as a lie.
Those who adapt this premise, in every case, have not yet grasped the
concept of 'A is A'. They are, on the whole, unlearned.
