  1. Thank you very much softwardNerd
  2. I don't know where you live, but to me people DO NOT seems to realize, and they DO NOT seems to care. I am sure progress are made in the US, as ARI said more and more people are reading Ayn Rand's books. However, is it better to slowly looking and reaching out to people, OR make a new country, to stand out, and have people look and reach out to the prosperity the new country will have. Imagine one day on the news, "A NEW COUNTRY HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BASED ON THE PHILOSOPHY OF AYN RAND" How appealing would that be as oppose to "Read a 1000 page novel and have a chance to win a couple thousands of dollars." Bottom line, to start a new country will be more efficient, it can be done in our lifetime. ALSO, would you rather die thinking, oh, I donated a million dollars to ARI, now I can rest in peace. OR I died fighting in a war with China because China would not allow the establishment of the first free country in the world. OR I fought for TRUE freedom, and we won, now I can rest in peace.
  3. Boy it took awhile for some replies. The outline is really in the novel, the difference would be 1) It does have to be in America, it needs to be a place where it can be declared a separate country, most likely an island or a place in Africa. 2) Instead of letting the world collapse, the new country would be an example of how great a pure capitalist country would be, and the rest of the world can choose to follow or not. 3) Before all this, there needs to be a group of people developing most of the laws for the new country. Because it is so inefficient to transform America into what it could have been. I have never been more serious in my life. *Edit* I should point out that the two problems are 1) money and 2) If the world would allow a new country to be established. My solutions are 1) make enough money and 2) fight.
  4. I want to start the mission which John Galt accomplished in Atlas Shugged. Anyone interested?
  5. I guess I am arguing that a man can not have complete freedom if freedom meant "the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action.", but then again it is possible that complete freedom is not needed in a rational society.
  6. In the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, the term "Freedom" is defined as "the absence of necessity, coercion, or constraint in choice or action." But Ayn Rand said "Man is free to choose not to be conscious, but not free to escape the penalty of unconsciousness: destruction." Wouldn't the penalty of unconsciousness be a constraint in choice? Like a slave have the choice of working or not working, and his constraint are the punishments from his owner, and a man have the choice of focusing his mind and not, and the constraint would be destruction. Obviously Slaves are not completely free.

    Moral sanctions

    You choose to send your children to public school, even though you do not approve of it. So is it okay to sent your children to a communist party funded school if it's also free? Is it okay to sell the car that you designed to someone that you know who scams people for a living? Basiclly I think it does require a person's moral sanction to sent their children to a public school, because you are not forced to do so, and you have choices.
