If you know and follow Ayn Rand, even if you don't agree with her, you could enlighten yourself to Rudolf Steiner, who was first to promote the individual, as most important to society.

 To me it is critical as we head to a society that wants to make everyone equal, ( impossible to do, by the way) at the cost of individuality. Remember the cowboy and Indian movies we all loved when we were young and still love ...I know many look for the Western movies on T.V. Why? We all love the individual hero who steps up to the plate!



The individual is born free, with certain unalienable rights to make decisions and create. Through the creations of individuals we came to form states and societies that have moral value. It is then up to us to live up to those moral values, within our ethical individualism. Many of our problems come from societal groups, not from particular individuals, and realization of this is a way to begin to solve problems.

Unfortunately, we are being overcome by those who view societal equality more important than individual rights. One has to come to the view of ethical individualism to understand that we will be a better society if we allow people to be free to create. After all, freedom ,at the birth of our nation made us the greatest country in the world. We are losing that lead, as we constrain ourselves with legislation, laws, bills, and all kinds of regulatory practices, that discourage business, and the ability to take our creations to the market, as people did in the 1950's and earlier.

You can not even get a fair trial in many of our states, it is incomprehensible, that you can sign a contract, and have it ignored by a judge, or not sign any contract, and have the judge ignore the fact that you do not have a contract, orally or in writing.  There are some court cases going on for as much as 20 years, with an argument that has no basis in any contract. Can you imagine that? Just see the case that keeps popping up on Facebook as one example, of what one small  business man can be up against.
