Samael, please explain how you can, in good faith, follow a philosophy which can be construed to justify anything. Your subjectivist philosophy implies that it may, under certain circumstances, be morally okey dokey to nuke a newborn in a microwave. Hey, there's no wrong or right! We can do anything!

I'm not a philosopher and I have no grand justification of objectivism other than the fact that your subjectivism can justify all of what most of us consider evil in the world - genocide, murder, rape, child abuse, etc etc.
