Read the section entitled "Self as a Cardinal Value" from here: http://www.objectivistcenter.org/objectivi...etaChapter4.PDF Any thoughts on the terminology of Self vs. Self-Esteem?

Is college necessary to propser in life?
BIGBANGSingh replied to Release's topic in Questions about Objectivism
I agree w/ this completely. I learned more in my internship over the summer (by myself) than I did over the last two years of college. -
Who here is a current or former OAC student? P.S. Any idea what the new curriculum is going to be like?

Objective Bodybuilding
BIGBANGSingh replied to dondigitalia's topic in Psychology and Self Improvement
Umm, I never wrote that quote - please attribute the quote to its proper author. This goes for everyone: please make an honest attempt to understand HST and moreover basic exercise science before you make incorrect claims, e.g. the above two posts. And once again, this is a philosophy-specific forum, not an exercise-specific forum, so can somebody please kill this thread? -
They also cost $210, so the notes are better than nothing Any idea when he'll publish the material? Also, how much physics is in it?

I thought it might be interesting to have a discussion on induction. Here's someone's notes on Peikoff's lecture course to get us started: http://www.aynrandchat.com/induction.html From the notes: "Definition of induction: the primary process of reaching knowledge that goes beyond perception." So to start this discussion off, does primary in this context mean "first" or "main?" I would assume it means the latter, because doesn't concept-formation come first? Or could it mean the former, since isn't concept-formation a form of induction? Please discuss
