>> Hmmmm...that is what Rand said. But she said that it had to be qualified or informed or protected by a Capitalist economy because she believed that life should be something beyond subjective and whimsical.>> koan: How does capitalism protect democracy? It is the other way around. Democracy protects capitalism.<< >>Rand believed in democracy. But she believed that democracy should always work with fundamental objective rules. You know those rules: Life is a value. Reason is the means. Reason is a value, etc. I'm not going to discuss that.>> If you think that people can live without mind, reason, or values then I guess you have no reason to discuss philosophy with me??!!<< koan: "I am an existentialist. Reason and mind are all I believe in. You state there are objective rules of reason and imply you know exatly what they are and have no interest in discussing them. That sounds like what the church says i.e. Only my ideas (the church) are correct and if you do not believe them them then you misunderstand me or are too foolish to even consider. That is pure old time dogma. And soewhere capitalism fits in there I suppose?
