in What exactly is my problem with religion? on Herbietown
I acknowledge that your thoughts on the issue are substantially better developed than the shrill polemic, conspicuously iconoclastic examples that you picked.

druce everything is noise to the person who doesn't know how to use it.

and you can never prove the guy who used it successfully wasn't just lucky.

Without inflating your ego too much, I think that I learned a lot from this blog about some of your great traits that were unobservable to me so far. cheers

in OK, there was some guilt on Herbietown
This guilt boils down to one of the underlying problems with Rand’s ideal society. In her utopia, people who are exceptionally skillful at some job join the closed economy realizing that they can specialize on the service they provide to the society while being compensated well enough to achieve they personal financial & spiritual goals. She did not describe / solve the puzzle - who does the jobs that those who were selected to the elite society do not enjoy doing? Where are the porters, plumbers, etc of that society? Like Greta, I’m willing to overpay for some services that I could but opt not to do. It may not be easy on the wallet, but theoretically, it should completely solve the guilt.
May the apartment to you are moving into become home soon.
