Objectivism provides an advantage in the world because it is based on
an Objective Reality

I regard compassion as proper only toward those who are innocent victims, but not toward those who are morally guilty. If one feels compassion
for the victims of a concentration camp, one cannot feel it for the torturers. If one does feel
compassion for the torturers, it is an act of moral treason toward the victims

DEFINITIONS ARE THE GUARDIANS OF REASON. WE HAVE TO USE PRECISE LANGUAGE SO WE CAN MEAN WHAT WE SAY.
