>>55, but I consider the ideals a lot of Objectivist nutballs enspouse dangerous. It's not that there's anything wrong with them per se, but they're combined and distorted into something very sickly.

I have yet to see any viable society remotely adhering to something similar to objectivism. It's not like the ideas are that new, but it's never happened in reality. Why?
