The Drexel U. philosophy club’s campaign against Objectivism is just getting started. Check out this masterpiece of modern philosophy:
Being objective is thinking purely in terms of yes or no, in pure Boolean logic. We have found out that this type of thinking cannot be applied to most real world circumstances. That’s why we are developing artificial intelligence today; we are trying to incorporate subjective thinking into computers that are inherently objective.
It wants to turn us all into cold-hearted uncaring machines worried only about our personal self-interest with nary a caring thought toward our fellow human beings and toward the other plants and animals we share this planet with.
There were a number of positive replies to the original article as well.
