Your committing the fallacy of self-exclusion. If man is flawed qua man. Then you are included in that statement and all statements you make after word are inherently wrong and flawed. And so nothing you say can be considered true.
Roark is the perfect man, but he is a fictional character. we humans are flawed and can only try to be in pursuit of flawlessness. no one will ever be perfect like this man. but we can stride towards flawlessness. im afraid i will never "know" the absolute truth about anything, but i can use objectivism to help guide me so i can be in pursuit of absolute truth governed by reason. that is why i am a student of objectivism rather than a know it all absolutist. its just too bad rand is a jew.
This movie sucks, book was way better.

"I'm afraid I will never Know the absolute truth about anything" --is that an absolute statement?
"Roark is a perfect man but man is flawed." Is an absolute statement and it is absolutely wrong. Man is not flawed qua Man. Man is Man.
Jew? as in Jewish? Seriously? I don't think you've read her words.
