> Lol, it's really cute how jealous you are of him
Projection. Being anywhere close to Microsoft or anything gov-related literally makes me nauseous. They're such nasty companies and culture, on top of being brutal evil psychopaths. Microsoft software is so shitty and stifling, it's all just ewwww. I need access to source code to modify shit, etc. The idea that other people have control over my machine is sickening. Sure, more money is great, but not at the expense of my dignity and values. I could make tonnes of money sucking dick or taking it up the ass too, gay-for-pay, but nah, I'm not that shitty and insecure and desperate like him, and you.
> you'd say that he worked hard for his money.
Fair point. His mouth and knees certainly worked hard for that, and ig he was appropriately compensated.
> But since you hate his guts, you're downplaying all his accomplishments.
Nope. I already said that if you tell me he graduated from a reputable uni (basically just uwaterloo has a known good computer/math program in canada), I'd be mildly impressed. Or if he actually worked on core AI code and all the matrix math involved with that I'd be mildly impressed. Or if he actually wrote useful software. So, wtf has he done?!? Just paid for a paper degree at a non-name college!?? What was his tHeSiS about? ;)
> I have an entire essay on this exact topic on my website
Tl;dr faggot. Name me one point she was wrong about ffs.
> Right, because owning his own software companies (for a while) and the most senior software developer at his current company required nothing more than ass-kissing.
Correct! One of my "best ex-friends" did that. He created gay software to help doctors chat or share xrays and stupid shit like that, IN FLASH, loooool. But now he has a sOftWarE cOmpAnY where he continues this scam, leeching more money from taxpayers, bloating our inefficient communist healthcare system even more!!!
Haaahahahaha.
Another one of my ex-best-friends went to work in Seattle after graduating from uwaterloo - I was smarter than him in school though :))). I know the type of fag he is.
Ass-kissing gets you far in this clown world!
> He's a better programmer than you are
Maybe.
> and he'd definitely beat you in an IQ test
Very unlikely. How did he rank in the national/international math tests? I bet lower than me :D.

Yeah, I don't like Microsoft either. I'm not keen on working for the government either, but I wouldn't rule it out.
> What was his thesis about?
If I told you what it was, then that would dox him. But I will just say that it's pretty damn impressive.
> Name me one point she was wrong about ffs.
Morality, Free Will, Value, Truth, Libertarianism, ... and almost everything to be honest.

I don't know. I guess you'd have to ask him.

Okay don't tell me. I'll totally just believe you ;). A nobody, a zero, simply asserts that Rand was wrong about "almost everything". Got it bro ;) ;)

Ayn Rand Was Wrongposted by sleepy-sniper on July 10th, 2023 at 11:43PMlast edited July 10th, 2023 at 11:44PM

Okay, you couldn't read the webpage. So you asked for this:
Objectivism Uses Sloppy Definitions And Semantics.
There are many problems with how Rand defines "axiom".
Ayn Rand claims that "God" doesn’t exist, without ever defining "God". She has to define what she’s talking about before she can claim that it doesn’t exist.
Theological Non-Cognitivism is a more general position that asserts that whether or not "God" exists depends on how "God" is defined.
Ayn Rand never defined free will. It is necessary to have multiple definitions of Free Will in order to clarify the semantics.
Ayn Rand’s definition of "concept" relies on the definition of "property", but she never defines what a "property" is. A more coherent and non-circular definition for concept is: "Anything or any idea that the human mind can think about."
Why not say "Egoism" rather than "Selfishness", when the latter term has negative connotations and is typically associated with the wrong definition that we want to convey?
Lastly, Ayn Rand wasn’t mindful that the Sapir-Whorf Effect has a huge potential to influence and affect thought. The linked essay shows many applied examples of how that happens in everyday speech.
