Anyone who truly believes that reality is objective has so little self awareness, and likely so little genuine life experience and education, that they are hardly worth speaking to.
Reality DOES care about our feelings, because as social animals we act on our feelings both unconsciously and consciously and this directly impacts the reality of those around us. No matter how misanthropic a person tries to be, they cannot escape their socially-evolved and adapted human nature. It is inherent, literally the reason for our “reason” in the first place.
Glad to read such a succinct yet thorough refutation of Rand’s simplistic, juvenile so-called “philosophy.”
