Jingles Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hi all, I'm an 18 year old student from Wales in the United Kingdom. I've been browsing through this forum for a while now but as a newcomer to Objectivism I haven't been contributing much- although I have commented on one or two topics so I thought I'd better write an introduction for you guys to know who I am. It was strange but refreshing to discover Objectivism where I come from where the welfare state and altruism hold an unquestionable consensus among all major political parties, even on the Right of the spectrum and Ayn Rand is all but unknown- except as some obscure free market fanatic. I'd be interested to know if there is anybody else from Britain on this forum and how they found out about Objectivism. Thanks and happy rationalizing.

Welcome!

Capitalism Forever Posted August 26, 2005 Report Share Posted August 26, 2005 You might be interested in attending iCon this September, where you can meet other Objectivists from Britain, and me as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hunterrose Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 Greetings. I'm another state-sider, sorry. But I don't personally know any Objectivists either, so you're not alone there. Ayn Rand may be unknown by a lot of people, but thankfully, her ideas haven't died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
