Ayn Rand Philosophy, Objectivism, Science, Self-interest

[wufwugy]

I'm not sure if I agree with "know thyself." Maybe "know" means something different in Greek. My "thyself" is a dilemma. When it comes to answering the questions "what do I want?" or "who am I?", I find the response as "Gee, I dunno..."

The closest I can get to making sense of it is "be thyself."

Me too. But I'm also of the school of thought that tackling the idea of God is worthwhile for learning about the world, so why not tackle the next in line?
