It has seemed clear and simple to me from the moment I started learning just what morality is, or should be, from Ayn Rand 25 years ago. None of it has changed in the intervening time, because it is all true. In order to live one needs to think. In order to properly navigate the innumerable choices available to us one needs a rational set of principles to follow, i.e. an objective moral code. Why is this so hard? And yet so very few people appear to be able to grasp it. Kudos, Don, for this excellent explanation of what it is and why it is needed.
