Why was Philosophy in the Dark Ages for 2400 Years?

[Molecular Mass]

So you think Ayn Rand was the great calumniator?

That is about the silliest position I've heard for some time. She was a shallow philosopher who took on another shallow philosopher, Berkeley, who had already been dismissed a long time before she came along. Berkeley was simply trying to find a solution to the dualism of Descartes based on spiritual values, and nothing more. Of course his "solution" was silly. But that was know even in Berkeley's time.

At least she fought someone her own size.

And what do you get from her childish attempt at analytical philosophy? A = A is a tautology and adds no new or useful information about the real world. It is worthless information. No one has ever disagreed with any tautology since they are always true. And her false idea that all thought is verbal which can be refuted with any meaningful gesture. But so what?

I guess you think that an actual philosopher is one who memorizes Ayn Rand? You have a lot to learn. I am not impressed with you or your "credentials".

All I hear from you is a lot of anger directed at a straw man fantasy world that doesn't exist.
