Re: objectivism

"Man cannot survive except though his mind. He comes on earth unarmed. His brain is his only weapon. Animals obtain food by force. Man has no claws, no fangs, no horns, no great strength of muscle. He must plant hs food or hunt it. To plant, he needs a process of thought. To hunt, he needs weapons, and to make weapons-- a process of thought. From the simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from a single attribute of man-- the function of his reasoning mind".
-- "The Fountainead"
