You say there is no debatable issue. But then later on you just listed a debatable issue...the person who acts upon reason only, and thus is emotionally impaired. That is what Ayn Rand advocates in her philosophy of Objectivism.

I've highlight and pointed out an evil aspect of Objectivist philosophy. You on the other hand would suggest I never even mention such philosophy?
