Fear and greed is an incomplete paradigm.

Of course you are right, Michael. And judging from the little I know of Ayn Rand, I think she would have agreed with you as well.

I would go on to address some of the other issues you raise, but I am still waiting for you to address some of the questions I raised, specifically in the following posts:

Message 10334143
Message 10369572
Message 10370357

No point in piling anything more on, if indeed your response to Terrence should prove to be your last post on the issue.

BTW, Michael, it's Emile Durkheim, not Dirkime. And it's mores, not mora's.

Please don't take offense, but your odd punctuation sometimes sabotages your thought! :-)

Your definitions of fear and greed are wrong, therefore, so is the rest of your post. Sorry you had to type so much for nothing.

"Greed" (the lust for power and material things) and "Fear" (slavery and the use of children for forced labor).
