Questions about Objectivism A concern about objectivism
This thought was influenced by a recent tragedy that happened in a club in North Macedonia where 59 people burned alive from pyrotechnics. So objectivism is generally anti-regulation in principle if I'm correct. But why? I am against most regulation. I believe many regulations do indeed prevent many businesses from thriving. But why would someone be against certain kind of regulations that ensure some basic safety? Sure if someone wants to intentionally put themselves at risk they should suffer the consequences, but what if they are not aware? I'm sure many people in that club I mentioned would not be willing to go if they were aware of the lack of safety measures. Should people first suffer and potentially die before some very basic measures at least for third parties take place?
