<<Plutocracy is too many syllables for FoxNews viewers and Tea Party herds, unfortunately. Or for Ayn Rand, Objectivism. As is also true for this forum's topic, understanding the Scientific Method.>>

The FOX folks just do not understand.

The whole idea of objectivism is silly. We don't know that much about the human mind. There is little objectivity where humans are concerned even if we tried really hard-lol. We barely even know how humans think e.g. is the mind a quantum computer?

<<Not having a clue what is happening to THEM, so emotionally manipulated by the right wing media and internet machine, they focus on more firearms and ammo, something that feels like power.>>

Yes, we need to arm them with education, so they can know when they are being manipulated. My top priority is free education for all people from 2.5 to a PHD degree.

Yes, the long move left.
