He’s a western doctor, so human dignity probably to him, relates to his role in caring for patients. That would be treating patients with dignity. It would involve talking with patients to make sure they understand their disease and the proposed treatment, rather than treating them as a vet treats cattle. It would involve alleviating pain and suffering or embarrassment and shame. Maybe it could be looked at as a doctor (authority figure) having a decent bedside manner with a vulnerable individual. Soothing their pain and fear and working with the goal of healing them. It’s professional medical ethics - or used to be before humanism.
But he’s also a libertarian. And libertarians have no governing values nor ethics except to be free to do whatever they want to do. To be free means the same as defined in the book of Satan - do as thy wilt - without consideration of the ethical nature and consequences of certain actions and policies enacted by the government. They promote homosexuals changing the meaning of marriage via government and school brainwashing, which they look at as “freedom”, but it comes without consideration that a healthy society is built on traditional marriage and family and the consequences of demolishing that natural state of affairs. The governing principal of libertarianism is the government shalt not judge good from evil. That right to judge good from evil only belongs to the individual.
Libertarians do not acknowledge natural law and are careless in analyzing the consequences of the government violating natural law. They are careless in analyzing the consequences of an unethical government policy. If ethics stands in the way of their most important value of “economic freedom” - materialism - (like boycotting business with Cuba because the Castro dictator mistreats his subjects and threatened to nuke us) that ethic is seen as none of our government’s business. Free trade is more important and assumed to be the balm that heals all evil.
Our government practices violations of human dignity when they molest and frighten children at the airport in the name of getting Islamic terrorists. Our criminal justice system has lost all sense of dignity in dealing with the public since it has named everyone as potential terrorists and redefined crime into terrorism. Libertarians are against this.
When Rand speaks of Muslims being angry because they are treated with no dignity, he’s probably referring to the government abuses of Sharia law. But since he’s a libertarian and advised by libertarians, God only knows what he’s talking about. Which is why libertarians are detrimental to leadership the same as liberals. They have no governing principals of ethics and no ability to measure it’s consequences on the society. A weak and broken society can not achieve economic freedom.
“......A weak and broken society can not achieve economic freedom.”
Indeed! We’ve seen how quickly (and decisively) things have disintegrated around the world once Obama began his task to level the world playing field by cutting America (and our allies) off at the knees.
