- 2Posted by j_IR1776wg 9 years, 5 months agoThanks for posting this Rich. The argument never seems to change; Plato and Marx and Obama believe that reality is what they think it is and their job is to impose it on the rest of us, while Aristotle and Locke and Rand believe that existence exists and their job is to explain it to the rest of us. For the last 100+ years Team Plato has been winning.| Permalink
