Oh, i'm very interested in writing an wrtie all the time. Well I am writing a stroy about a neurotic Asian chick which changes into a rational being after she gains selfconfidance. She wants to set an example of a rational society and after managing to recruit a handful of people she sets out into to jungles of Colombia and starts a mining colony. She is haunted by all sorts of mishappenings and must deal with them in a rational manner. In the end they fight of socialist geurillas, but the colony is destroyed and some of their friends too. Then she returns to the states as a celebrity, becouse CNN had been following up on them, as their venture attracted nationwide attention. I focus mostly on internal conflict, but I'm going to antogonize the geurillas. I ordered the book of amazon a few days back and when I get it i'll read through it as fast as I can. I'm so interested in learing more about the craft. Especially from my favourite writer. Well the other day I discovered I mostly read about Tyrrany. Like, Raise the red lantern and Nabokov, and offocurse Rand. But offcourse it is in Icelandic...

Lee, offcourse, what is wrong with you people.

Well a organization in the sense of co-opertation of individuals striving for their rational self interests. But not one that publishes books or holds meetings or lectures, well not just limited to that. What I mean exactly to form a Objectivist society, a town perhaps, that would belong to objectivists and be executed in the appropriate manner. Turning the entire country over to Objectivism is perhaps unrealistic. We should reconize the resources available to us and settle for perhaps a Objectivist county. Then other people will care to join us, as the good of Objectivism would be obvious to everyone.

I am suggesting that setting a practical example of Objectivism is perhaps a better way of promoting it then just focusing on changing mainstream philosophy. Becouse people are often unaware of Objectivism and an indifferent about philosophical matters. However with Objectivism estabilished as a tangiable social institution , that would exceed the pre-estabilsihed institutions becouse of it's sollid foundations, people would reconize this and perhaps join it. Promoting something that has been put to practice and works, seems a easier task then promoting something that hasn't been put to practice.

Hi I'm Binni Lee and new to this forum. I'm interested in the prospects of the the "practical intellectual". The Practical intellectual as mentioned in "for the the new intellectual". I want to put my own ideas of the practical intellectual under scrutiny as offcourse they might be innfalliable. Since the intellectual is a producer of knowledge the practical intellectual puts his knowledge to practical use. So from I thought that since this was so, wouldn't the practical intellectual create a society based on the principle of Objectivism? By that the practical intellectual would be striving for his own rational self interests as the leader of the socio-eco-philosophical entity, since he (or she) would benefit from more people joining in. What I am talking about is that the practical intellectual sets an example of the virtue of objectivism in practice, instead of just writing books about it. Offcourse producing books on Objectivism is a virtue but producing a society of objectivism would be a even greater virtue. thank you Binni Lee
