BryanG Posted May 29, 2006 Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 Sounds interesting, I'm wondering why Detroit was picked for the talk though. Are there a lot of ARI members in this area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted May 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2006 ARI has held talks like this all over the place. I doubt Detroit made the top-10 Still, I guess there are enough ARI contributors/potential-contributors in the area to make it worthwhile.

NewEdit617 Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks for letting us know! I will definitely be there. And now for an introduction, since I've never posted here! I've been an Objectivist for quite some time, but somehow, didn't know about this board until yesterday. I started the now-defunct Objectivist club at University of Western Ontario. When I moved back to Michigan, a few people and I almost had a Meetup.com group going, but that never took off. Grad school is taking up a lot of time now, so I can't dedicate the effort to forming an official Detroit-area group (though if there is one I would definitely join... the benefits of actually knowing other Objectivists in person are enormous.) Currently I'm taking classes from the ARI's OAC, and learning a lot from them. Anyways, the point of all of this is to ask if any of you are going to Dr. Brook's speech, and if so, we should be on the lookout for each other :-) Carrie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted June 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2006 Welcome to the forum. If you look at some of the other thread in the Detroit sub-forum, you'll find references to some local groups. The three I know of are UofM students' group, EgoPlace and the group mentioned here.

softwareNerd Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 The event went off well; it was great to hear about ARI's activities. I hadn't realized how much ARI's budget and activities had grown in the last 4-5 years. About 40 people attended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
