Whoops almost forgot… my name
Hello All, I look forward to meeting you and hopefully collaborating with some of you if interest allow it so. My name is JaNae although feel free to call me Jae. Ever since I read Altas Shurgged I’ve been hooked, I didn’t realize how controversial the book was until I was spoke with someone of different views and didn’t like my responses 😂. Ever since I’m more selective with who I talk to about Any Rand. I thought books were supposed to be read with an objective mind, but not for some people hahaha. Anywhoo happy to meet all of you. ✨✨✨
Happy you got the "gist" of Atlas. Rand completed a simplicity (20+ page essay) beyond the complexity of her novel entitled; The Objectivist's Ethics, published and delivered at the UW Madison campus in 1961. I'll venture this is the most profound document in human history.
All of the dynamic you read, hear and see is a cultured response to rescue, or lack thereof. Any organism that becomes too comfortable in it's respective environment is subject to a shock when change occurs to rapidly. Alvin Toffler illustrated this in his 1970 publication: Future Shock, and subsequent film in 1972.
Congregationalism is a term I'll offer to describe human culturalization to an environment of subjective individual/group comfort. This is an emotional and cognitive perception as well as physical experience.
Within this forum you shall find very uncomfortable patronage. These folks have been "pushed" in many ways throughout their respective lives to refute blind trust and be wary of "We're here to help".
I agree with you about group comfort, many of us myself included want a sense of belonging and partnership, to know that ones way of thinking or living is acceptable. I think it’s a natural reaction, although I haven’t read any science on it. But I think we’re designed to to interact with others and connect, hence this platform. It becomes a problem when the acceptance is contingent on how willing someone is to assimilate into a frame of living that is not them. Verses shining through their differences and truly respecting the other person, not because there’s a promotion or kudos on the line but because it’s the sound thing to do.
Which makes total sense —The question after that should be… At what cost? I’ll say I listen twice as hard when someone mentions to me they want to help or they are doing it for some other reason other than themselves.
The glorification of sainthood is really wild to me. So many “REAL” people in the world. From life coaches, influencers, to revolutionary speakers… makes you want to think more about the content and whose delivering it. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy a good motivation speech as the next person, it’s becoming to saturated with opinions looking like facts… is all.
Hollywood hasn't produced anything worth viewing in 20 years (and the AS producer is not going to do it. )
