Question

2007280600 THE INTELLECTUAL BANKRUPTCY OF POSTMODERNISM?: Have I got this wrong or isn’t Mrs. Rand here speaking of the perverse but natural alliance between Intellectually Bankrupt Postmodernism & Totalitarian Communist Dictatorships? I dare say, a symbiotic relationship?

With her thick, almost syrupy, Russian accent it’s hard to be sure of hearing her correctly.

She sure does sound like she’s perfectly describing Postmodernism’s attack on man’s ability to reason & conscienceless perceive reality of anything? Would not a herd of anything be easily controlled if they were persuaded that everything they perceived was questionable? Controlled by a thoroughly ruthless dictatorship wearing a disguise of equality? Forced to believe anything derogatory or even contemptuous about themselves – CLASS GUILT & RACISM for instance? Wasn’t there a scene in the movie “1984” where Richard Burton asks how many fingers he was holding up? I’d love to link to it here – oh well. Instead it seems more important to link an old interview of Ayn Rand herself.

In this video she (Ayn Rand) is mistakenly described as a/the spokesperson for these so called “New Intellectuals.” Would it not be more accurate to have described her as the/a critic of these bankrupt so called “New Intellectuals” that have abdicated their duty? Because, quite simply, in her description of them she gives a perfect description of postmodernism & describes it as intellectually bankrupt.

Young Men, consider #MGTOW (Men Going Their Own Way) Galt - #MGTOW is nothing more than: 1 Corinthians 7:27 “Art thou bound unto a wife? seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.” (kjv) Young Men, you as a gender no longer have obligation of any sort to provide for or protect womankind - “To thin own self be true.”~ William Shakespeare (Hamlet, Act 1, Scene 3).

She was actually sort of calling out "For the New Intellectual" to please manifest in the modern age, for the Men of Reason from day gone by are all gone. The idea is that the "intellectual class" is the army by which Philosophy lead society, but somewhere around Kant, the "intellectual class" gave up on reason. It was somewhere around Kant, intensified by Hegel and the notion that our phenomenal, "experiencial," subjective perceptions of the world makes it impossible to know things about the world as it ACTUALLY exists...

She was trying to reassert the idea that objective truths about reality can be reasoned out and made knowable through a return to rational rather than emotive or motivated philosophy.

I think that's pretty close.............
