My mind is still caught up with what is happening in the US, and what ramifications it will have for the rest of us. Probably not as much as we would like... But the US having a president to appreals to people through reason and action, rather than poetry and grand but empty gestures, is a good start.
Over the past months, I have had to face the fact that my utopian dream, 'moral capitalism', the kind of proud and virtuous capitalism that Ayn Rand advocated, does not, and will not exist. We need people who are willing to shoulder responsibility, and to open their eyes to the suffering that is taking place around the world, and to act on the basis of this. It is a sad fact that every day, 13,000 people die of starvation. But I do not think that this is incompatible with individualism however - the kind of individualism which is based on mutual respect and humanism. I really don't.
God, this blog is becoming more and more abstract by each entry. I guess we all go through periods of emotional and philosophical change that needs an outlet somehow. After all, this blog is my way of venting my mind from all the junk that get's accumulated up there. So far I think I've done a pretty good job.
