I agree with your observations and have always been bothered by the underlying psychology. It is an attempt at assault of human values as such in a very basic sense when one thinks about it. It is an attempt to undercut human effort at acheiving and maintaining values as such.<br />Since these premises have for the most part not been formally identified, acknowledged and studied, (especially before Ayn Rand) it has acted as a silent killer with half-truths that has made culprits of both good and bad people, and men as also women are many a times involved in the crime (e.g. envy of other better looking, better dressed women from women who have not taken the efforts themselves for improvement but harbor these irrational feelings nevertheless).<br />In my view the perpetrators of this crime are willing to deny metaphysical existence into oblivion in an attempt to hold on to their tottering pseudo self-esteem.Rational Educationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520568540990573166noreply@blogger.com
