You're Welcome

But not for the reasons one might think. Mr. Cuban claimed that everyone is prejudiced. He then went on to give a couple of controversial examples. His error was not in his examples, but in his claim of universal prejudice and his faulty logic in arriving at this conclusion. Mr. Cuban's thinking goes like this: I'm prejudiced so therefore prejudice must be a metaphysical reality and therefore everyone is prejudiced. He is wrong. Prejudice is a man-made reality. Mark Cuban may be prejudiced but that doesn't automatically mean that anyone else is. You're welcome

Several decades ago the idea of public employee unions was universally rejected but now those same ideas are now reality. Why? The reason is because of what Ayn Rand referred to as "anti-concepts". Anti-concepts are concepts that are used to obliterate other concepts. In this case the concept in need of obliterating was "conflict of interest" and the concept used to obliterate it was "stakeholders". As things stand today everyone is a stakeholder and if stakeholders have a right to be involved in all debates then there is no such thing as "conflict of interest". If there is no such thing as conflict of interest then there is no longer any intellectual barrier to public employee unions. You're welcome

I work at a vocational school in Los Angeles. Part of my job is to enforce standards of conduct. The other day while I was confronting the non-compliant, I realized that many students believe relationships are fundamentally about power. They argue, question and complain. They, of course, are wrong. Relationships are fundamentally about conduct and conduct is fundamentally about ethics. Life is not about winning but about right and wrong. You're welcome.
