So where does that leave objectivism? You're saying that it is true to those who care to agree with its assumptions. Objectivism, however, claims that it is true -- absolutely true -- regardless of what we might think of its assumptions.
For me, it leave it just about where it leaves all claims for absolute truth (except my own, of course). I find I agree with much of it, can't subscribe to all of it.

Isn't this pretty much true of all belief systems? Doesn't a theist proclaim the absolute truth of a god's existence regardless of what the atheist thinks? And doesn't the atheist tell the theist there absolutely are no gods and nothing the theist believes can change that?
