The most disturbing image I saw in my life

[The Architect Of Fate]

Have you ever read Rand?

I’m generally familiar with her philosophy. But I fail to see how stating that life has no intrinsic value makes @Objectivist or anyone else a sociopath. Value is a judgement. It requires a valuer. There’s nothing pathological about that statement. I’m not sure what I’m missing here.

It's sociopathic because it borderline reduces life to a commodity and all resembles the kind of blood cult logic pro-death penalty types argue for. Life cannot be seen in this way. Life may not not have intrinsic value nor is it subject to the whim of someone else and their arbitrary value system. No is it something that can be earned nor be taken away without cause. Even if things are needed to maintain life this isn't prescriptive to a commodification of life.
