You know that isn't an argument, David. Show me a case where Buddhism
doesn't work /for a Buddist/.
If those axioms do not produce a closed system, then I challenge you to
construct and argument against them. If you can, if you can challenge
your own axioms, within your system, I will freely admit that Objectivism
is an open system (sorry, I'm a poor artist, I can't offer you any
material incentive to do it other than my undying love and devotion).
My money (or love and devotion) says you can't do it.

Actually, I said it would take $500 to /get me/ to look for such an
instance, but close enough. Its nice to know people want to give me all
this money to do something I might do for free! You're peaches!!!
