[/url]Human beings, like everything else, are objects and when we use them for our purposes we exploit them just as we do a mineral deposit. Whether they like it or not is their own affair, there is no objective criteria by which using people in certain ways is ‘correct’ or ‘incorrect’.

When a person says “no,” that means the way you’re attempting to ‘use’ him is ‘incorrect.’ That’s one important difference between a person and a mineral deposit. Isn’t that ‘objective’ enough?

You pretend to tell us something about ‘ourselves,’ when all you really do is tell us something about yourself.
Translated into less pompous and more truthful language, it becomes:

“Human beings, like everything else, are objects and when I use them for my purposes I exploit them just as I do a mineral deposit.”
