Stretched Past the Elastic Limit

Bob Clasen

Ayn Rand talks about the Law of Identity. A=A. A thing has a specific identity and you canâ€™t change it by wishing it werenâ€™t so. But Ayn seems to have neglected this idea a bit when considering human beings.

Every human being has a very specific and very complex identity, made up of his DNA and education. We have different talents, different likes and dislikes. We have different parents, a different culture, a different education which begins as soon as we are born.

Therefore, everyone has their own unique point of view, based upon all these complex factors. We cannot change a human being any more than we can change a chemical compound merely by wishing.

Therefore, it is more rational to adapt your own personal identity to the reality of the many various identities you have around you. Find people with whom you share things in common. Leave those people to their own devices when they do not interest you. Donâ€™t bang your head against the wall of reality by trying to change people from who they are to agree with you. Find people you like as they are.

Tim adds:

It's why it's up to the individual to find where he or she fits in, not for society to change to accomodate the individual. What is a society? A collection of people holding things - culture and tradition and history - in common. How do you create or maintain a society which is predicated on the idea that the individual gets to do or be whatever he or she chooses and the society must comply with that?

It's impossible. In the end so elastic of a society stretches past it's limits and snaps.
