    Objectivism Is The Everyman's Philosophy

    In the universe, what you see is what you get,

    figuring it out for yourself is the way to happiness,

    and each person's independence is respected by all

  • Rand's Philosophy in Her Own Words

    • "Metaphysics: Objective Reality" "Nature, to be commanded, must be obeyed/Wishing won’t make it so." "The universe exists independent of consciousness"
    • "Epistemology: Reason" "You can’t eat your cake and have it, too." "Thinking is man’s only basic virtue"
    • "Ethics: Self-interest" "Man is an end in himself." "Man must act for his own rational self-interest" "The purpose of morality is to teach you[...] to enjoy yourself and live"
    • "Politics: Capitalism" "Give me liberty or give me death." "If life on earth is [a man's] purpose, he has a right to live as a rational being"

    Objectivism, agnosticism and hard atheism

    HappyDays
    By HappyDays,
    I’m curious whether or not objectivism is in the category of agnostic atheism, the belief that god is logically and epistemically possible but shouldn’t be accepted or believed in due to insufficient evidence, or “gnostic”/hard atheism, the belief there is no god and the belief this is epistemically certain (or near certain)? If the latter, what justification does objectivism claim for such a position

    Reblogged:A Tea, a Coffee, and Two Beers

    Gus Van Horn blog
    By Gus Van Horn blog,
    A Friday Hodgepodge I did this year's liver holiday over July (making it Dry-ly, I suppose), during which I tried a new tea that I like and rediscovered chicory coffee. My first trip to the beer emporium after that yielded a new find on the way to restocking my current go-to beer. *** 1. Looking through the tea selection at Rouses, I stumbled upon a package of Twining's rooibos tea. I'd heard of this, was in the mood for something new, and decided buying it would remind me to look up how to p

    Objectivist responses to Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari

    HappyDays
    By HappyDays,
    I’m curious if the community here either knows of, or is willing to provide, criticisms of the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze/Felix Guattari from the perspective of ayn Rand and objectivism, if you are not familiar with their theory the best way I can summarize now is that they believed in a Monistic but pluralistic conception of being, that being is interconnected but chaotically manifests differently, to my understanding they also believed based on Immanuel Kant that spacio-temporality is  const

    Reblogged:A Favorite Rebrands

    Gus Van Horn blog
    By Gus Van Horn blog,
    I have followed Suzanne Lucas's business writing for quite some time, and first heard of her because of her humorous alias, The Evil HR Lady. But after nearly twenty years of writing, she has decided to rebrand, and gives her reasons. This one resonates strongly with me, since it is a welcome change from the tone that dominates so much commentary these days:It was not through her Inc column that I learned of the rebrand: The new blog masthead hit me with Improve Your HR as soon as I stopped by

    Reblogged:AIER Warns About 'New Right'

    Gus Van Horn blog
    By Gus Van Horn blog,
    It's not the full-throated call for laissez-faire on moral grounds that I'd like to see, but given the statist direction the GOP has pursued in recent years, it's a welcome push-back. Economist Vance Ginn of Louisiana's Pelican Institute warns the GOP that it risks becoming indisinguisable from the Democrats on economic issues, both in terms of American prosperity and at the ballot box:While I don't agree with everything Ginn advocates, his column is both a breath of fresh air and, like Thomas

    Today we address an interesting phenomenon of the iterative process of engaging with written or visual media, and how we interpret different elements within the content every time we revisit the materials.    Your emotional or cognitive state has a profound impact on your interpretation of content. Each time you revisit a text or an audio presentation, it's a common occurrence to understand the content in slightly different ways that differ from initial understandings.   Your att
