Critically Necessary, Ms. Rand

Almost any moral code is better than no moral code at all. Without God in our lives, and without moral training to civilize the savage hearts of all our young people, hell on earth will surely befall us. I would offer some sort of virtue ethics, moderate and gentle, that is egoist more than altruistic. That should do the job. You know my answer to the following question, Page 14, from her book, The Virtue Of Selfishness: "Is ethics a subjective luxury--or an objective necessity?" Ethics is an objective necessity, but subjective, irrational inputs cannot be discounted. Jordan Peterson is correct in defining humans as deeply irrational, not logical and rational, though we have those weak, rational capacities to be strengthened and changed.
