I like people. People are the best thing about being alive.
Maybe you're hanging with the wrong crowd.
Isaac Newton said "If I have seen further than others, it is because I stand on the shoulders of giants."
Despite what Ayn Rand would have you believe in her works of fiction, no one got here on their own.
- hyperman1 3y agoThe story goes this was a nasty remark of Newton. The giant in question was a rival who was rather short. In general, Newton seems not a likable person.
- EchoChamberMan 3y agoYou could be right, I don't actually know the details. I should stick to saying Ayn Rand's bit about real men don't need other people is absolute garbage. Attitudes like Musk's where they are the only important person, and they are some sort of god like figure are dangerous to himself and others.

- EchoChamberMan 3y agoI never said I like all people, or even that I like the people I like, all the time. The world isn't black and white.
