Brent,

I think you are deeply confused as to what it is that is at stake in the debate, you seem to assume that objectivism (which I take you to equate to a belief in what Kimball calls “Truth” in in post) to beliefs such as determinism and the idea “that there is no Man, no Humanism, just the ineluctable march of natural, biological and cultural law.” Weaved around some vague references to Gnostic mysticism and what appears to be some kind of romanticising of nihilism, I cannot see anything buy ramblings that relate little to the topic at hand.

Regards,
Rob.
