 Why do you think objectives fight and denounce each other so much? It's so counterproductive, we're fighting in uphill battle as it is. Because we take ideas seriously and we take ethics seriously. If we see somebody behaving immorally that we're standing with, then, you know, we take morality too seriously to say, well, okay, they did something horrible that I think is terrible, but I'm going to still be their friends because it's an uphill battle. Life is too short not to care, so we care. We care about what people do and we care when people do bad things, we call them on it. That's justice. It's called justice. And they do too and some people are right, some people are wrong, but, you know, and you're not always going to know who is who, but what kind of a movement says? We believe in morality. We believe in integrity. We believe in pride. We believe in pride, which means there's limb back is basically just taking us into 4,000 territory. Thank you everybody. Wow. That we believe in pride, which means we strive towards moral perfection. Yeah, but if some of my friends do horrible things, you can ignore them and just go on. I mean, that's absurd. It's because we're moralists. It's because we take morality seriously. It's because we take our own life seriously. Then we take other people's actions and other people's words seriously. I can't just ignore them. If somebody attacks a friend of mine, that means something to me because a friend is something, whoa, big value. Being attacked, no good. I'm going to say something. I just don't get it. Why everybody thinks that kumbaya is the way to live. Kumbaya is boring. Kumbaya is unproductive. Kumbaya sends all the wrong messages. We're not kumbaya. I don't like everybody. I don't like everybody in objectivism. Indeed, there's some people in objectivism I don't like a lot. And some people in objectivism would do immoral things. So I should not say anything. I should treat them all as friends. It doesn't matter because they say they're objectivists and we've got a big hill to climb. Screw the hill. I'm not in life to climb a hill. I'm in life to live. Climbing a hill is just one of the things I do. It happens to be my career because I like climbing this particular hill. But that means I want to climb the hill with the best frigging people in the world. I want to climb this hill with my friends, with people I trust, with people I believe in, with people I think have complete integrity. And if they don't, then I'm going to take a different path up the hill than they are. And yeah, you guys who are counting on me and these other people climbing the hill so that the path is easier for you, you guys get upset because we're not all kumbaya. But we're not. That's reality. And nobody is. Who exactly is? You tell me one, intellectual movement in the history of mankind that all loved each other. Nobody. Because nobody is that what's insincere. So the Greeks, you think all the Greek philosophers got along? Hey, establishing civilization. We must all be friends. No. They fought. They argued. They condemned each other. You think the Enlightenment, you think the founding fathers, have you ever read Adams and Jefferson and the conflicts they had? And what about the libertarians, our so-called friends, right? They're at each other's throats constantly, constantly. And what about, you know, a public choice theory, kind of a libertarian economic theory about how bureaucrats behave? The two guys who founded it, after a few years, never spoke to each other for the rest of their lives. They were basically in agreement, and they were climbing the same hill, and they were writing the same articles and papers, but they couldn't stand each other. So they were supposed to pretend for the cause. Now, how altruistic is that? If I pretended to like people for the cause, if I kept my mouth shut for the cause, if I cooperated with people I didn't like for the cause, if I worked with people I thought didn't have integrity for the cause, I would be a complete and utter sellout. I'd be an altruist. So no. You know, when people do bad things, they need to be called on it. When people disagree, they need to disagree. When people don't like each other, they need to like each other. Like, I mean this is like telling you, I mean connected to your previous question, this is like telling you, you know what? You should stay in their mediocre marriage, because you know what? You gotta help to climb, and you might as well climb it together. I don't want a mediocre marriage. I certainly don't want a lousy marriage, and fighting for cause together in a friendly way is like a marriage in a sense. It's a relationship. What if the person is somebody I don't like? What if the person is somebody I don't respect? You want me to sacrifice for the cause? No. I'm an egoist. I take my Morales seriously. I'm too damn selfish to do that. Now if Action Jackson is on, that is a rant that needs to be made into a video. I think you will agree. That was good. I hope it was true, but it was good. No, it was true too. Yeah, I'm yelling at you, Vladimir. Valdrin. I know where I'm yelling at. I'm not yelling at anybody. All right, I'm yelling at people who want kumbaya. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual, would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist broods.
