Something like that. Exactly. Bin Laden differentiated right from wrong behavior because he was firmly convinced in the existence of God. And God [the one in his head] becomes the omniscient/omnipotent font for determining [absolutely, objectively] which behaviors are either right or wrong.
Nietzsche on the other hand didn’t have a God, the God, my God to fall back on. He had to speculate about things like taxing the rich or what to do about the poor from the perspective of a mere mortal.
But then out in the world that we live in mere mortals have conflicting and contradictory assessments of things like the role of government or the meaning of equality.
But then the objectivists [though still mere mortals] are able to “think through” these things [philosophically or otherwise] and come to embody one or another existential rendition of this:
1] I am rational [about taxing the rich]
2] I am rational [about taxing the rich] because I have access to the political ideal
3] I have access to the political ideal because I grasp the one true nature of the objective world [of the world objectively]
4] I grasp the one true nature of the objective world [of the world objectively] because I am rational
Nietzsche merely speculated that in the absence of God, mere mortals, exercising their will to power, should sort things out in terms of the best of us imposing their will on the least of us.
So it is part “might makes right” and part “right makes might”.
The important point still is that from the perspective of the objectivists these things can be rationally differentiated. Why? Because they have themselves already figured it all out.
You know, if only “in their head”.
It’s just that historically there have been those objectivists who insisted on taking the ideas out of their heads. Folks like, say, the fascists or the communists or the capitalist imperialists or those embracing one or another denominational God.
So, will someone like Donald Trump lead the next objectivist charge? Or is he just one more pretender to the throne? Another moral nihilist rooted in the grand tradition of the global economy: Show me the money!
