richard,
i start by saying, this is not about us. this is not about us.
the world increasingly know something is wrong. something hurts.
people feel powerless. within a rand paradigm, ellsworth tooey is ascending.
and ascending specificallly by using tools that take words like "democracy" to
mean a lack of differentiation between human excrement painted on a wall and
the parthenon. to argue that those who see a "qualitative" difference between
the 2 are imposing a cultural prejudice.
concretely, people ask me why, as a ruhi facilitator, core children';s class
whatever etc i so flamingly refute authority. and my answer is that authority
is false. Authority is real. the faster the falsity is seen, the faster the
REality.
and for the world, this is a grim necessity:
"that these ruinous wars should cease..do u in the west not need" ..whatever...
i have been known to say quite often to people, as soon as someone convinces
me that 2 world wars, hiroshima, nam, the depression etc were good ideas, i;ll
beleive i need to listen to my elders instead of respecting them.
there is, as is self-evident on the deconstruction thread a battle
waging...which my eyes see as utttterly, utterly irrelevant to 11-14 yoas,
who need to determine if the quantum possibility of their finger going thru a
table can be removed from their consciousness, and the quantum reality that the
strong nuke force is so much more strong than gravity or whatever, that no. the
sun willll come up tomorrow, and the aliens will not land, and if they learn
the principles of math, they have a chance to take care of themsle4ves,
to emerge from a nest into a breeze, not a tornado, and fly.
i would, to answer ur specific question, associate "the fountainhead" with
vogue of the age....and i include roark there, as not a hero, but a
protagonist, so that rand can vent her spleen on the evil of tooey,
and grim necessity with "do you in the west"
and i would offer that u might revisit the tail end of the Y2K Message on the
topic of those this is realllly all about.
