And I'm not sure where the "loving other people" angle fits into this thread at all.

Am surprised you didn't catch that.

Loving others tends to involve a host of intangibles. Given your death-grip addiction to tangibles and tangibles

ONLY

It's plausible that you might have trouble in the 'loving others and others loving you' department.

A logical extrapolation of your hostility toward accepting ANYTHING AS FACT which doesn't present to you HARD-AS-CONCRETE TANGIBLES IN YOUR OWN HAND . . . would logically infer that you'd be unable to accept as true a lot of love for you as well as very unable to accept as true that others were worth loving by you. The proof's you'd require in relationships would likely be so problematic as to keep most people at quite a distance.

Of course, you could be kind of 'schizophrenic' in such matters. Humans are great at compartmentalizing. You could lay aside your rigid, death-grip on insisting on tangibles in all matters before accepting ANYTHING as TRUTH.

Which, of course, would be more arbitrariness instead of true adherence to objectivism as a reliable route to truth.

Well, Quix, I don't have any problem in loving other people. They may hate my guts, but I can't control their feelings.

I don't hate you. I think I even like you, although we're so different it's unlikely that we'll become great friends.

We can co-exist, each of us viewing the world in a different way. I'm cool with that. But you can't insist that everyone who sees things differently is making a Type II error. That's very presumptuous on your part.
