[quote name="Senor Barborito MetaFilter Post"]SCDB: you couldn't be more wrong. People looking to excuse or rationalize their own elitism will invariably find themselves *much* happier with Objectivism, if you can stomach that sort of thing. I genuinely believe that all of my thoughts, decisions, and actions are simply chemical gears turning within the comprehension-defying clock that is our universe. Part of the shape of that universe is that both my brain and my sociological environment are fully geared towards the assumption of free will because it greatly simplifies things for both my mind and for society. Because of this, I cannot nor do I strive to carry a minute-to-minute awareness of determinism - but I do try to base my ethics off of it. posted by Ryvar at 7:07 PM PST on September 3[/quote]
