It was never my intention to dig the hole in the first place. Instead, a set of circumstances beyond my control combined with my first “philosophical” encounter with “rival goods” began to deconstruct my own objectivist frame of mind.
And here I am now on this thread drawn and quartered by a reaction to Trump/Putin that I have come to construe basically as a particular set of political prejudices rooted existentially in “I”.
No longer am I able to react to events of this sort with the self-righteous indignation of someone convinced that how he has come to understand the world around him reflects that which all rational and virtuous men and women are obligated to emulate in turn.
But: Being “fractured and fragmented” in this manner is precisely the frame of mind that the objectivists among us are most intent on avoiding.
For some, Trump and Putin are “good”, for others, “bad”.
For me, however, here and now, value judgments of this sort have [by and large] become just prefabricated and ever refabricated “existential contraptions” configured and then reconfigured in an essentially absurd and meaningless world that will soon tumble over into the abyss that is oblivion.
“Me” in a nutshell now: youtu.be/aNUr__-VZeQ
Well, almost.
