[MD] [MD} The relativity of the MoQ

[John Carl]

Ok Ron,

You were someone else I was thinking about today, because I remember a post
some short time back wherein you raised the point that SOM oughta really be
termed Objectivism, in its aspect of being value-free.  And that made sense
to me.

So I was gonna ask you some questions, because after all the natural effect
of looking up Objectivism and finding Ayn Rand's name plastered all over the
doors  of entry into the thing, then that makes Ayn Rand the mother of SOM,
by your formulation, and thus I  wonder how Platt and Ham get away with
extolling her virtues when she's the MoQ equivalent of Jezabel, Delilah and
Salome and Satan, all at once....

Hmmm????   What is going on?

WTF? indeed.

John the befuddled
