We can have another take on this. We can do what we want. There is no must. That is for the objectivists. It’s scary, I get that. What if there is some good out there and what I want is bad. But here we are. You can’t mock the objectivists on the one hand, look down on them.
Objectivists: Like shooting fish in a barrel!
and then say that we MUST wait for one of them to produce the proof. We must…must…wait for one of these people that you gloat over being able to defeat…
Objectivists: Like shooting fish in a barrel!
we must wait for one of them to prove something before we can start following our own personal preferences and doing things that fit what we value?
That’s an objectivist stance and a weird one.
Your path is to not try anything else until people you mock not only as fish but fish ina barrell prove something to you. You are hinging your life on the argumentative skills of people you mock as easy to defeat.
And this is a must. And this is the real context.
