What collective ?
or
Dialectics

You seem fairly intelligent.
BergBrain doesn't believe in the collective.
He has rights that don't depend upon force.
He is bulletproof.
He also thinks that other people like him make up armies, everyone knows armies are made of soldiers.

Your examples are perfectly valid, if you assume the collective exists and each man influenced it to achieve change in the world. Euclid made great leaps, but he did so within an established paradigm. The acceptance of his work by others made him a force, not the rightness of his contributions. Compare Euclid with Aristotle.

BergBrain doesn't accept any of your arguments, he can't, you acknowledge reality, he doesn't, after all, he has certain rights which are bulletproof and he supports those rights with force. BergBrain is like Aristotle. His claims are as worthless as his bulletproof rights.
