I am definitely NOT an Objectivist. I am part leftist and part liberal. But this is a great epistemological quote:
“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality”-Ayn Rand
Would that it were true. I've known a couple of people who've gone through life with blinkers and rose-colored glasses who've never themselves experienced hardship and seldom recognize that others might.
Dear Dr. Professor Karl Pfeifer,
What do you mean and could I please do a research collaboration with you?
A consequence always exists for ignoring reality but some individuals may not directly face those effects of their causes.
This is because in today’s global society conformity and ignorance dominates! Wisdom is deficient and perceived as useless and passé!
Exactly, what I wrote. However, the human's' behavior (incl. human's attitude to reality) depends on how the individual personality is shaped in the context of the subjective experiences and interaction with the environment (generally speaking).
Problem of the human's behavior is very complex and its description depends on the area of interests.
For example, the use of the "Dialectical Game of Needs - GDP" together with physical and mathematical models of human activity and behavior (e.g. Quantum, Mechanical, Statistical models) allows for a better understanding of the behavior of both an individual person as well as a human group, which I described in details in my book THE POINT (SEDNO) - ed. 2012yr.
