I am currently studying Objectivism in greater detail. I am not an objectivist as such, though the differences between my philosophy and that of Ayn Rand appear quite small in the overall scheme of things. I believe that there is an objective truth, but I am pretty sure that Ayn Rand did not discover it perfectly. At the moment, I am in particular dealing with three problems. Firstly, I feel that Ayn Rand's position on abortion can only be arrived at with the addition of unspecified assumptions. Secondly, I am troubled by Leonard Peikoff's cataclysmic errors of judgement regarding Islamism and foreign policy analysis. If you think that AR or LP are infallible, it's probably best we avoid communication because most likely we will not be able to understand one another. Thirdly, I am wondering what actually constitutes an objectivist, and if the act of defining this is not an inherently subjective act? If you can help me with either of those two problems, and you believe as I do in free thought and free expression, then I'd be very glad to hear from you.
