Like evidence of a socialist activist. Did you read the thread?
It looks like ARI agrees with me. I read most of the first page, 9 pages is a big commitment. I know, it can be redundant when I don't read.

If there is evidence that he believes in violating rights, then no.
What would that evidence look like? If a person was violent as a youth and served a sentence for it, but has since then reformed and been released, he is then given another chance to be a law abiding citizen.
If this same man was from another country and wanted to enter the USA, he should simply have to be sworn in and held to the laws of the land.
It is the only objective way to go about immigration law.

Shouldn't any free man be granted entrance to the USA and simply sworn to be a law abiding citizen? If he/she fails to do so, they will be punished accordingly.
I really think it's that simple.

What would you like to discuss? I think we can start with interactions with other people. First of all, I always monitor what I say, that is something I had to learn. I used to think I could say whatever I wanted around people I was close with until I realized I am going to make ppl uncomfortable by going unhinged. Also, being unhinged is simply emoting, and isn't a very intellectual method of communicating.
I love people when we are a value to each other. I love my boss because she is directing my proper behavior at work. She most likely appreciates me because I show dedication to doing good work. I believe we should have deep conversations about topics we share values in. This I think will help you with having accurate conversations!
Let me know what you think!

I find the very basic act of wanting to see the best in each other, even if we don't always agree on what that is, makes me love my Grandma, Sister, Parents and aunts on my mom's side. We don't agree on much else though. What do you all think of this one value we all have in common being the basis of the relationships?

I'm in as well, what are we reading first?

I'll look into some Hugo, thanks!

I love Rand's non-fiction, but when it comes to fiction, these are my favorite eras. Frankenstein and Alice in Wonderland are two favorites! What do you like?

Great work!

And no, it does not have to be rebellion, but, it can be. The point of the post is to understand our motivations.

I'm not sure what level your formal musical training is at, but you have a distinctive sound which IMHO has a dark solitary quality. The kinds of key signatures used reminds me of that old song "Dead or Alive" by Bon Jovi.
I am no musical expert but your work has an interesting quality which I imagine would be suitable for a TV series like Westworld, or a western themed video game.
Keep at it! Take it seriously. You have only one life.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words! I am classically trained, that is my level of training. I taught myself how to compose and have come a long way since I first started.
I enjoy performing at nursing homes for a minimal fee, and am working on becoming a therapist in Kentucky. Those are my two main passions in life!

Please listen and provide feedback on my music here. I would be very grateful!

Hi, I'm Russell. I'm 30 years old and likely to me moving to the Cincinnati area in a month or so for my work as a web developer. Atlas Shrugged made a huge impression on me when I read it at the recommendation of my dad (who was a member of Nathaniel Branden's groups in the 1970s). I don't have any Objectivist friends and would love to get acquainted with anybody else in this general geographic area who thinks the way I do!
Have you moved to the area yet? It would be great to meet up!

Welcome to the forum!

I'm a bit in the dark on really solid ones, Tim Burton is ok, but I'm looking for something more.

Well, it's important to evaluate your ideas. But to appreciate music you first need to identify the music, which is not the simplicity or complexity. Music has sound, rhythm, and melody. You might prefer simple over complex melodies, but this is probably for valid reasons. An obvious example might be that you are young and/or ignorant. You therefore cannot understand a more complex melody beyond a few notes. For similar reasons, you might not be able to understand complex sentence structures. This doesn't mean that you're subconsciously rebelling against intelligent linguists. It means that you prefer things that you can understand.
Certainly what you have stated is possible as well. Those were just examples of how it could turn out in a negative way. You just took the examples I posed and put them in a positive light, which are absolutely just as valid. I do believe we agree, then!

Any thoughts?

Overall in employer-employee-customer relationship, you should understand following three things.
What is Central Purpose of your own Life?
How exactly is your job contributing to the Central Purpose of your Life?
How are your day to day activities contributing to your job and career, in the context of your Central Purpose of Life?
For e.g. if your Central Purpose of Life is to make medicine more accessible to masses(like Amazon made books more accessible to masses), the job can help you understand the specific problems in market related to the goal. After analyzing these problems you can research and come up with solutions. You can either apply solutions in your current job, and grow. Or switch to better job and apply the ideas in another company. Or start your own venture if you are confident and capable enough. Short term continue to improve yourself and the work environment you operate in.
You didn't answer the question I asked, but you did answer an important question for me.

I'm listening to Mahler's Symphony 1.

I postulate that the right values to hold in music is to appreciate what does it for you, which can be anything. To understand your subconscious better, you should evaluate the ideas it stores that are driving your tastes.
Example 1: If someone values complexity in music regardless of anything else, are they simply attempting to achieve an irrational value of feeling intelligent?
Example 2: If someone values simplicity in music regardless of anything else, are they simply rebelling against those who are trying to look intelligent and achieving the value of feeling superior in their humble nature?
Is there Psychologically healthy Art Appreciation? To elaborate, two different ppl can view the same piece, one in a psychologically healthy manner and another in a psychologically unhealthy manner.
Also, being honest with yourself in what appeals to you Artistically can uncover great Psychological insights.
