It should probably worry folks that people richer than some countries who control massive segments of the media and our data ( #musk for one) along with major think tanks like #Rand are all in on a quasi religious eugenics loving philosophical loony toons Scientology like thing called “longtermism”

Der #Rand ist es doch, der den ganzen Laden zusammenhält.

Been a while since I've read any #philosophy. Ayn #Rand's #Objectivism is interesting so far re existence+identity+consciousness, but the rejection of the Kantian dichotomy isn't making sense as form vs object amounts to the same thing IMO. Or maybe I need to refresh on #Kant... 🤔

@bcinfo @thetyee #DanielleSmith as well as other #libertarians and #conservatives have only a surface connection to #AynRand’s ideas, and #Rand rejected them both. https://disqus.com/home/discussion/thetyee/lsquoweirder_and_weirderrsquo_danielle_smithrsquos_new_example_for_canada/#comment-6197394421

„it would be a drastic step to exclude #SouthAfrica from those monetary mechanisms.
Yet, #Sarb believes the threat cannot be ignored. […] our ongoing implosion will accelerate by orders of magnitude and our #rand could soon start to resemble the Zimbabwe dollar, which is almost worthless […]
Yet, for our #ANC masters, loyalty is something you put above the welfare of your people. […] because when it comes to ANC priorities, ordinary people don’t make it on to the list.“

Das erste mal Ayn #Rand (:
Es fing mir fast zu plump an und hab immer an #1984 gedacht, aber es hat sich gut Kapitel für Kapitel aufgebaut :blobcatbook:
"F-16s going to Ukraine could help it defend against Russian aerial assaults. But their greatest value may be to augment future Ukrainian counteroffensives aimed at retaking occupied land. This will require training and exercising, but Ukrainian forces are fully capable of mastering it."

A neat illustration of how the collapse of the #rand (30% in less than a year) can be baked into prices, even if the #currency subsequently recovers.
The process to adjust #SouthAfrica's #SingleExitPrice for medicine is underway. A lot of drugs are imported, so considering the exchange rate is built into that process. It could be weighted at up to 50% of the adjustment; domestic inflation will then be the other half.

@pairko @rrwo @cstross There is a meme-happy organization founded in 1990 by a former student of #AynRand that traffics with #libertarians while promoting a fatally compromised “open” approach to #Objectivism.
It’s all very inside baseball, but the terrible result is further confusion over what #Rand and her #philosophy are actually about.
*That* was a splintering.

Maybe #politics should be transparent and simple, but they're not. All #conservatives aren't bigots nor are all #liberals elitists. This is divide and conquer mentality, and it must stop with me and you. I was studying #Ayn #Rand, and what she holds makes a lot of sense. Democratic rule is a #public necessity but must not trespass the #constitutional right of the #individual. Ethic based on rational self-interest must rule, not subjective morality. Many of us would do well to consider this.
