>> but there was something wrong with his thinking. I can appreciate it is your view although you seem unable to articulate precisely what you think that is. But it says nothing about the good point he made in that essay. That it, you can get people to believe things that are obviously wrong if you sell it to them as "settled science." Scientists. Businessmen. Politicians. The public. All of them are gullible. >> Ayn Rand is for intellectual beginners. Guys like Einstein, Alfred North Whitehead, Bertrand Russell, and James Joyce and T.S. Eliot are the true intellectuals. I have no idea on what basis one classifies Rand as for "beginners". I can assure you there is a great deal of Russell's writing you haven't any clue about. And you certainly don't understand even the basics of what Einstein did. This seems a list of personal idols. I have mine, too, but they are mostly people you've never heard of. Either way is fine. The following brief video is my favorite video on the Internet. It is someone I idolize. And this one minute would be well spent for all Warmists. I recommend it. youtube.com
