When a Russian Woman Sliced and Diced
Let us return to those thrilling days of yesteryear when Ayn Rand answered questions in person to doubters and mockers. She was asked at a Random House sales meeting by one of the book salesmen if she could present the essence of her philosophy while standing on one foot She did as follows:
"1.Metaphysics: Objective reality
2. Epistimology:Reason
3. Ethics:Self Interist
4. Politics: Capitalism."
Translated into simple language it reads: ""Nature to be commanded must be obeyed or Wishing won't make it so."
2. You can't have your cake and eat it too."
3." Man is an end in himself." "4. Give me liberty or give me death."
She went on::
"1.Reality existsas an objective absolute -- facts are facts , independent of man's feelings, wishes,hopes, or fears.
2. Reason ( the faculty which identifies and integrates the material provided by man's senses)is man's only means of perceiving reality,his only source of knowledge, his only guide to action, and his basic means of survival.
3. Every man is -- an end in himself, not the means to the end of others, He must exist for his own sake neither sacrificing himself to others nor sacrificing others to him. The pursuit of his own rational self-interest and of his own happiness is the highest moral purpose of his life.
4. The ideal political economic system is laissez-faire capitalism.It is a system where men deal with one another not as victims and executioners nor as masters and slaves but as traders , by free, voluntary exchange to mutual benefit"

Listened again to the one about faith/conviction. One, blind belief, the other an opinionated belief.
I have a tendency to stay away from both. I observe and try to do so objectively. However, with ideas, theories or concepts, my observations could be wrong just as blindly believing or belief's in one's own opinion but I think one can easily see and except, without cognitive dissonance an error in perception and adapt; as opposed to an error in conviction, blind or otherwise.

Was just reading Q drop from yesterday...A whole lot of indictments already...the most, of course, in the state dept.++ two former sec's of state.

Q Anon He says numerous times to learn to read the map. I wanted to send you the link I found that has it all pieced out . Then later when I went to open it was just a white screen like it was scrubbed.. It was http://Throughtelookingglass.wordpres...
I will forever stand by my observation, my statement that, "These creatures are not human in any respect what so ever"!
Rest assured: "They Curse the day they used that clay."

Two things jumped out at me, one familiar and the other not.
Well acquainted with the Montauk project, to think I visited their via my yacht many times...gives me the shivers now.
The other, Washington's letter 1789. link: https://www.scribd.com/document/14137...
Just a brief, here that may add to my observations of Freemasonry prior to it's perversions in the 1800's.
Washington writes:
"to correct an error you have run into, of my Presiding over the English lodges in this Country. The fact is, I preside over none, nor have I been in one more than once or twice, within the last thirty years. I believe notwithstanding, that none of the Lodges in this Country are contaminated with the principles ascribed to the Society of the Illuminati. With respect I am &c"

Cracked up at: "got any cooties in there"?
A phrase we used about girls and they visa versa that later became the name of a kids game.

I was given the cooties game was a gift along with unlimited ice cream for a few days.
The game was kinda like Mr Potatohead.
You had to add legs and other appendages to build the bug. Not the most brilliant game but a long time seller for Milton Bradley. I am reminded now of pick-up sticks that I would play with my friend Tommy Cline in the early to mid sixties.
Pick-up sticks or pick-a-stick is a game of physical and mental skill in which a bundle of "sticks", between 8 and 20 centimeters long, are dropped as a loose bunch onto a table top, jumbling into a random pile. Each player in turn tries to remove a stick from the pile without disturbing any of the others. The game has several versions such as Jackstraws (or Jack Straws), Spellicans, and Spillikins, and appears in a line of a nursery rhyme: "...five, six, pic
But, you neglected to tell us: Which foot did she stand on?

A number of Asian countries pulled American chip manufacturing into their countries by offering extremely low wage expenses (of course our own tax laws did part of driving companies toward that end). We very nearly fell into the trap of having all of our strategically critical electronics components made in China.
The people hiding behind the free market banner pillory Trump for imposing tariffs disregarding the onerous tariffs and fees imposed on American goods by other nations. As Elon Musk points out, we have a 2.5% tariff on Chinese-produced cars, while China imposes a 25% tariff on American-produced cars and trucks. I venture to say that if the American people were well educated on the fees and tariffs currently imposed on American companies products and agricultural goods by other countries, their heads would explode.
Objectivism, like nearly all of the "isms" is first based on the idea that once educated, everyone will naturally see its superiority and eagerly adopt its precepts. Objectivism and its partner, capitalism operate well in an insular environment, with better results than any other system, as demonstrated so many times by various authoritarian isolationist failures. The difficulty is in dealing with other societies that don't view Objectivism or capitalism as favorably. I find objectivism should be a natural match with the American system, as both focus on the individual. Collectivist societies view objectivism as toxic, making it difficult to pursue natural interests, as they don't match.
Since an Obectivist government would not be allowed to have brutal influence on the economy, how economically isolated such a society would be, would depend on the free choice of each individual.
