jeffdotcooper Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Hello. My name is Jeff Cooper and I am new to Objectivism. I recently read "Anthem", which started my journey in search of information on Ayn Rand and her philosophy. I don't consider myself a deep thinker or philosophizer; I am just searching for answers that reinforce my core beliefs: capitalism, limited government, and freedom from the "herd" mentality that is prevalent in today's society.

Dante Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 Welcome to OO.net, Jeff. I hope this site helps you to better understand those beliefs and what Objectivism has to say on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RationalBiker Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Welcome to the forum. My unsolicited suggestion is not to seek answers that reinforce your beliefs, but to seek answers that turn beliefs into knowledge based on facts - there is a significant distinction between the two. Hopefully what you believe now will be validated, but do not ignore facts or knowledge that challenges what you may believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
