Humans are a part of every one of these systems. That’s objectively true from a broader view. That’s a point missed in idealised forms of objectivism. Hybrid systems or a tempered objectivism might be ok but it’s ideal form is best left to thought experiment.

Like a lot of theory, it’s all about how it’s put into practice. Being a fundamentally amoral system, objectivism needs a little moral boost from outside of itself as it can’t sufficiently promise to be compatible with existing moralities.

If humans weren’t so complicated creatures, but, well, we are.

It’s be great for modeling artificial things but reality doesn’t correspond to hard outlined objects of simple construction . But I have the same complaint about mathematics and logic. Great tools for what they’re good for but there’s a point where the benefits become a detriment.

To me it’s kind of like utilitarianism. I lean towards it “if it’s useful, it’s good”. Being American, it’s part of American culture. Yet, then there’s a crossing-over point where utilitarianism starts getting bizarre and corresponds less and less with the world around us. … or sadly, more and more like the parts of the world around us that shouldn’t be. [such as some awful political decision-making].
