  • Objectivism Has a Date With New Age Spirituality - Some would shockingly exclaim "Objectivism dating New Age Spirituality-you've got to be kidding!" Others would speak about the incompatibility of the two. A few might state "Opposites do attract. That's the nature of the universe." Mystics of the New Age school of thought may supply us with this bit of wisdom "Like attracts like. That is the nature of existence. They will repel each other."
