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

Objective Bodybuilding
BIGBANGSingh replied to dondigitalia's topic in Psychology and Self Improvement
I'd direct your critique towards the HST forum so it can be more properly addressed. A philosophy forum is not the place to get into this level of detail. -
OPAR does an excellent job of building Objectivism "from the ground up."

"Sat Sri Akal" means "God Exists." Sikhs and Rajputs traditionally belong to the warrior class, hence us sharing the name "Singh" (means "lion").
-
No Sat Sri Akal for me anymore as I'm now atheist At least we both have warrior blood
-
Hey Rana. Are you Sikh (at least culturally) by any chance?
-
You should just convince Dr. Peikoff to let you gradually put OPAR online

If you're training for reality combat, Hock's system will give you a complete arsenal. If you're training for sport competition, Lewis's system will give you a complete arsenal. No need for BJJ & WC really, as any useful techniques from these systems are covered by the above systems.
-
Check out Hock Hochheim's or Joe Lewis' combat/fighting systems.
