  1. Well personally, I take each band as they are and see if I like them (lyrically and musically). I've listened and liked almost every band listed here. But I'd like to take this opportunity to suggest a friend's band called The Fenwicks. The lead singer lists Rand as a positive influence in the music, and publicly support Objectivism on thier website here (New Update: Thu Mar 23 '06 11:21 pm). But as a listener you'd have to like ska/reggae/punk/rock in order to like their style.
  2. This is true if the person calls her/himself an Objectivist, and that goes into a whole other topic with lots of history and debate. I think this topic needs clarifying, upon specific definition on what is "constructive" and what is "Objectivist" and what is "views", what is "different", what is "things", and how one supports arguments for each side. Also, I'd like to see this debate, but this topic might have the danger of going into other related territories. The topic probably needs more structuring to keep it on topic.
  3. I think it is interesting, explorational, and draws analogies between the works of Bach, Godel, and Escher. Since I've played some Bach before, and have liked Escher's stuff, I can see where Hostadter is coming from. I know nothing about Godel himself, but later on I'll look into him. I'd highly recommend GEB for itself, personally. I see the book as an exploration into self-referencing, and this topic interests me because of my field. However one must come to one's own conclusion by at least trying the book with as few preconceptions as possible. Usually if I hate a book for my own reasons, I'll just stop reading it, and move on.
