- My understanding is that Objectivism is not concerned with those for whom the
- effect is happiness despite "C)" and the claim is that the ideal men in an ideal
- Objectivistic society would not and would not have to think about the particular
- emotions this other type of people feel or the consequences their actions might
- have. I understand "ideal" to mean "as things aught to be" in this real world.
