Re: Discussion of The Fountainhead
Telling someone what a true individual is, or how he should be..doesn't that sound fishy?
It still is a book where the thoughts are layed out for you.
Pragmatic: I worked for an architect and a young woman who worked there an I had a thing, untill I told her that I had read The Fountainhead (in a naive sense that I new what a good architect was). Then the thing was over. I detest the book.

But may situations are not ideal. And also I don't see why somone who will try to adopt should be less. It's an awkward ideal " no adaptation". With cognitive dissonance and dissonance reduction you might want to call this "having principals".
Biologically speaking creatures who don't adapt will have to be very strong to survive. Of course many people have all kinds of fantasies about this kind of strength.
