Soulsurfer Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 I would like to see a corner on this website where users could go for reviews, questions and comments in regard to recorded Objectivist lectures (and other products that might be of interest to students of Objectivism). The Ayn Rand Bookstore carries alot of such material, but they don't seem to have any user review and/or rating system (such as Amazon.com). I think that such a feature on the site would add more traffic and also attract more attention from serious students of Objectivism. What do you think?

Pericles(MBA) Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 That's a great idea! There is a lot of Objectivist material out there, and purchasing it can get pretty expensive. That kind of feedback could be pretty helpful to someone on a tight budget or with limited study time.

That would be me I've got plenty of material to read still here at home, but there is alot more I want and can't afford, and I hardly have time to read the stuff I do have. The interaction here is highly appealing and conducive to learning (for me anyway) and it seems this would be a great added feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGroarty Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 This pretty much screams wiki to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I really agree with this. I read reviews about whatever I buy because I want to make sure I am getting what I want. I don't think many people are willing to purchase the more expensive lectures unless they get a pretty good idea of what they are getting. Some lectures I have bought have not been what I expected, so a detailed review would have been very helpful. Also I have found value in some of the lectures that I would like to promote.

softwareNerd Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) Having a specific place for these reviews is a good idea. For now, rather than add another sub-forum, I suggest such reviews be added to the "Non-Fiction" sub-forum (renamed, was "Books - Non Fiction"). If we get a whole lot of such reviews, we can split them out into a separate sub-forum. Edited September 16, 2009 by softwareNerd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grames Posted September 16, 2009 Report Share Posted September 16, 2009 I've been putting my "Notes on ..." posts in the "Productivity" subforum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bert Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I've been putting my "Notes on ..." posts in the "Productivity" subforum. Your notes on "The Art of Thinking" led me to purchase it. Thank you. As I listen to some of the lectures I purchase, I will try to find time to review. I like getting what I want by reading reviews and promoting what I like by writing them. I like the idea of having a review section such as the ones for movies and books. I really like what the originator of this thread suggested; that there should be a system of reviewing on the Ayn Rand Bookstore web site.

dan_edge Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 I've done at least two lecture reviews already that could be added immediately, if that's any encouragement for such a "corner." --Dan Edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 Three's a crowd: here's a sub-forum. Hoping that if you build it, they will come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grames Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Its filling up nicely! May I ask that my other threads also by moved into the new subforum? They are equally appropriate there and it would keep them together. The threads I refer to are Notes on "Art of Thinking" and Notes on "Ayn Rand's Conception of Valuing".
