They don't. I think almost everyone on this list is a fan of objectivism
and we all pretty much agree with the "3 axioms". I know this seems
needlessly pedantic, but in essence we are all struggling to master that
meme, instead of letting it master us. We poke holes, look for exceptions,
ride it into the ground...
It isn't that we don't think it's a good tool...we just don't think it's the
"universal tool". If you don't think so, either, then there need be no
further discussion on this issue. The essence of Objectivism has
permeated CoV, although the structure and syntax have taken a
beating.
If you are looking for more closure than that, you aren't going to
find it in a discussion group.
