Um,... so,... For Armstrong the moon is real and for the rest of us it's a
ball of cheese? Tad, I don't get it?!? If there is only one reality we
are capable of learning why does it have to exclude the parts that you've
never experienced? Or the ones that Ayn Rand doesn't like? If there's
one reality /WE/ are conscious of, isn't the one that includes /ALL/ of
our collective experiences? Even thoughs of a Tibetan monk who you don't
agree with.

Objectivism was a mystery to YOU at some point, before you found out about
it. Is Ayn Rand a con-artist then?
