Trading my Humanism for Nihilism

So you are the Chairman’s long lost twin! :grinning: :grinning:

By the way, it’s interesting that you choose a judge as your example. Judges have no personal power. All their power is proxy power. The minute the bailiffs decide not to listen to the guy in the robe any more, he’s finished.

Gee, I wonder how a judge persuades bailiffs to do anything then. Does he beg them? :ponder: Come to think of it, how does a general convince foot soldiers to do anything, while their guns outnumber his? :ponder: :ponder: Come to think of it, how does a head of state/government convince anyone to do anything? :ponder: :ponder: :ponder:

Could it have something to do with “civilization”? :astonished: :astonished: :astonished: :astonished:

Nah, that’s a subjective term.

I do have one more question for the Founder of Rowlandia: what is the relationship between Rowlandian law (or the non-existence thereof, since law implies justice, and justice cannot exist because fairness does not exist) and Randian law?

(Spoiler alert: climax from “The Fountainhead”)
