    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

    Wow, my old account still works.  Amazing.  I used to post here a good bit in the late 00s, but I'm sure it's been at least ten years since I've been in here or maybe even more.  I came back to see how things were because of David's email about the 20th anniversary.  What a nice taste of the "good old days" of the Web, before everything became an "app" or a walled garden. I'm curious to see what the conversations are like these days.  By the way, I've joined the dark side...I'm a career aca

    By Gus Van Horn blog,
    Writing at Inc., Suzanne Lucas describes what she learned when a shady talent recruitment site fraudulently attempted to use her name to scam job-seekers. Probably the most important thing was establishing a clear identity for herself and making it easy to verify:In that sense, a strong brand can be part of its own protection. But Lucas also advises setting up something like a Google alert on one's own name since that might help detect such a problem a little quicker. She also offers advice on

    By Nicky,
    Sorry to post in an old thread, but this jumped out to me as I was searching for something unrelated, and I just can't help myself: "Everyone who says that I am a Mystic is just and idiot.

    I joined Facebook originally in order to get access to particulars of certain Objectivist gigs that, some years back, were being announced outside of Facebook, but to get the particulars you had to be able to get into the link to Facebook, which in those days required FB membership. I had not intended to do any socializing there.

His piece, disappointingly -- but not surprisingly given how easily its author crumbled and capitulated under Donald Trump's nickname of Little Marco -- fits right

    By Boydstun,
    Moore v. Harper seems to be the most important of decisions reached by the US Supreme Court in 2023. (ROBERTS, C. J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which SOTOMAYOR, KAGAN, KAVANAUGH, BARRETT, and JACKSON, JJ., joined. KAVANAUGH, J., filed a concurring opinion. THOMAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion in which GORSUCH, J., joined, and in which ALITO, J., joined as to Part I.)
