  • Is Objectivism a good or bad philosophy? Why?
    What? Can you give a better explanation? — AppLeo

    Life doesn't exist in a vacuum. You cannot treat life as some science experiment, whereby you reject some experiences in favour of others. Life without regard for the emotions or intuitions is inauthentic life. It is a life that is missing something. You, whether you like it or not, are an emotional being. You are driven by your emotions, desires, fears. Most of which is unconscious. These things are not something you can simply choose to switch off in the name of objectivism. Ask yourself why you are so inclined towards this position.

    Life includes the irrational, the absurd the mysterious..

    You cannot have only one side of a coin. Objectivism is an exercise in ignorance.

    A rational life is a person who makes the conscious decision to think, reason, and use logic as much as he can. — AppLeo

    That's no life. That's an attempt to reduce from life the elements and qualities you dislike.

    I'm speaking as a 72 year old who has gone through a whole bunch of enthusiasms, and watched a whole bunch of other people doing the same thing. Today it's Buddha, tomorrow it's somebody else. — Bitter Crank

    These things are like sign posts: they guide you one way or another. You don't cling to the signpost.
