You mean every bit of your personal ideology can be supported by your interpretation of cold, hard facts and your ability to reason.
Unless your interpretation is perfect, and your ability is perfect, your personal ideology can not be based on truth. And I know your ability is not perfect even if your interpretation is.
Shalom.
Unless your interpretation is perfect, and your ability is perfect, your personal ideology can not be based on truth. And I know your ability is not perfect even if your interpretation is.
Indeed. My interpretation is succeptible to being fallacious, being only human and therefore imperfect. But that is the case with anyone, of whatever faith or ideology they choose to align themselves with.
I'm not saying that my view is the One Single Guiding Truth of the Universe - far from it. (I had to deal with that mentality growing up under the yoke of Mormonism.) All I am saying is that Objectivism seems to best fit my own personal view of the world, having independently reached the same conclusions before I had ever even heard of Ayn Rand or any of the other Objectivist writers, or of the philosophy itself, for that matter.
Peace and Prosperity this New Year!
