Reason, Purpose and Pride in Real Life

Ayn Rand is not included in this blogpost because she was Spotlighted on Christmas Day 2018. The Ayn Rand Lexicon is cited a number of times, and other elements were inspired by OCON 2019.
I loved Hazlitt's book on Economics in One Lesson. My new book focuses on the Purpose aspect. I don't know about Pride as a fundamental, however, as it is a by-product of an outcome - not necessarily an end in and of itself. Being emotionally based, if it becomes an end instead of a derivative, one can argue that it undermines the first fundamental of logic - as we can see in the political left of today.
