“Are Consumers Born or Made? Both.”

you can actually show that people are irrational, which proves my point that Objectivism can't work, because like Socialism and Ancap-ism

People would have to perfectly work with the system for it to work

hence it can't be done 😉

Yeah

irrationality is great

Yeah Tabula Rasa ain't real, and the people still stubbornly pushing that shit are Marxists for the most part

sometimes i just wanna strangle things

i don't

@Dr.Wol no because if they do anything unethical they get punished

i rest my case

but it reminds me how great irrationality is

by government

feelsgood

you had a whole talk earlier about ethics and legality

thus communists always need to outlaw other way of thinkin to make people Believe in the system in order for it to work

yeah so?

The constitution is for United States citizens, while the bill of rights applies to everyone who enters our nation.

humanity is by nature, irrational. we rely more on our lense of the world and the emotions and opinions of our "tribe" or society to form our own. now this isent something we have just begun, this was a evolutionary benefit. however, the realm of facts and statistics have only come along recently (in relative with the evolution of humanity) meaning we have not adapted as a whole species toward that line of thinking

ethics don't matter

i would argue most peoples lenses aren't as poor as their ability to compose a picture out of what they can see(verbally)

Work ethic is just a by product of Standards created to uphold a certian way of maintaning order

Ethics is just a standard of Maintance

alright you did it

you won

we aren't well sorted in defining hard concepts because its not taught rationally, we all watch politics etc for entertainment but do not often take steps to clearly define things for ourselves, instead just being impressed somebody has a very basic understanding and therfor can make or refute a point in a way we all should be capable of but aren't

@Matt-Kill723 shit

Thats bad

@Yugure people may not see everything without bias but we can still use reason to the degree that it exists objectivisism is just using that to your best interests as reason as a guider and values being the purpose of life plus people see things as groups and tribes because of the collective ideology that been taught to them

:^|

>:^|

at that point we give up and just go with "emotions"

@Ottobon yes and no

@Yugure I recommend reading the fountainhead if you want to see these ideas in action in the form of Howard Roark

Ttv. That's been a part of our mental evolutionary path for centuries, we have seen things from tibalistic perspectives since before we could write laws. Also, again that's the point of an Ethos pathos logos argument. Staistics are important in modern debate to reinforce your view, but you need to use emotional appeals to saw the audience
