But the question was specifically for Protagoras. You'll note that he couldn't answer it.
Look up Ayn Rand's "Objectivism" in the dictionary and there's a picture of Protagoras. This guy does not believe in imposing his will on anyone not affecting him personally and directly. How could he ever understand this pharmacist?
I can't speak for Protagoras, but I have no problems understanding this guy. I think his theft of the script was immoral, though.
And I don't believe in the nonsense that some people call objectivism, so you can put that nonsense where the sun don't shine.
And I understand the pharmacist. I just don't agree with the second part of his actions. I agree with the first, and have repeatedly said so.
