The fact that objectivists refuse to listen/accept different viewpoints and values would, according to the greek understanding of reason as communication, confirm that objectivists are themselves unreasonable.
P.S. Kant just seems ridiculous because hes refuting two other ridiculous philosophers. Hume, who denied science, and liebniz who had to have been on acid when he wrote his thoughts down. Get over it.

Fundementalists (Islamic, fascist, communist, etc) all believe[d] they have objective reason figured out and try and force that on the world. Objectivists never take the time to hear what other people think things mean. They inforce their own understandings because they believe them to be "objective". This leads to violence as opposed to communication. I lay the blame of 20th/21st century bloodshed on objectivist thinking as opposed to anything Kant ever said.

With this in mind you make my point when you claim "kant wasnt actually talking about reason". He was talking about what reason meant then. Not what reason means now. Reason itself has a shifting meaning. The greeks though it just meant the ability to communicate

You mislead people sir.
I agree on one level what you say about Kant. Hes convuluted (i dont blame you for not actually reading him), hes wrong, his ethics are flawed, etc. What i want to draw attention to is the objectivist thinkers you cite. Rand got her critique of Kant from Nietzche. She really got into Nietzche until she finally figured out he was talking about the shifting meanings of things. So in the case of Kant, christian morality of self-sacrifice shifted from church to philosophy

I never heard in life such a misconception of Kant's concept of the "Ding ansich" or of the categorical imperative.
Also Marx was not so much influenced by Kant, by Hegel and Feuerbach. Narx' materialistic philosophy was exactly the opposite of Kant's Idealism. Marx relied on a material and real world as the ultimate reality. For Kant only our conception of this world exist and we never could gap the "Ding ansich" on itself.

There is only One Mind and we are all living in it.

Yea, objectivists can be pretty annoying but my biggest concern is the growth of anti-intellectualism in the general populace. It's always been there, I suppose, but it seems to be growing on the tidal wave of Rupert Murdoch's influence.
So, you said you study philosophy? Where at? I'm at the University of Pittsburgh. Have you attended any conferences as of recent?

In a certain sense anti-intellectualism is a good thing. After all, there are a lot of academics who demand undue authority simply because they're academics. They expect people to defer to them, and the overall effect is to encourage people not to think about things for themselves. To me, intellectuals are simply people who have more training and privilege than others. On the other hand, the glorification of ignorance and aversion to knowledge IS disturbing, and profoundly anti-human.

And I'm at the University of Western Ontario, by the way. Regrettably, no conferences this year as of yet.
I have a friend who lives in Pittsburgh, and in fulfilling the proper Canadian stereotype, am a fan of your local hockey team, haha.

"These terms denote two parallel worlds that comprise the universe — the world of material objects (tonal) and the non-material world (nagual)."
Heard of this experiment & what our observation does to electrons?

It sounds to me like Kant just might have known what he was talking about.
