Well the goal should never be to worship.

Wonderful - agreed "The conversations here are a bright spot in the otherwise dismal current state of the world, and there is always something new and worthwhile to learn"

lol

3 coins in a fountain. I'll never forget it

That is great to hear.

And an awesome one at that.

He sounds like an intrinsic-ist epistemologically (there are couple of youtubes that Atlas Society has put up on point), which basically means he never questions his assumptions, he is just looking for arguments to support his feelings.

We both know the truth of that weekend in Spain.

Hello khalling,

Since 1983? I have read many newsletters and every book (fiction and non-fiction) I know of written by Rand as well as a few compilations of essays produced after her death except the Romantic Manifesto, The Night of January 16th, and We the Living*. I also read/studied Piekoff's Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand. I have found the non-fiction just as compelling as the fiction, though perhaps not as entertaining. I have DVDs of *We The Living, The Fountainhead, A Sense of Life, and of course all of the AS movies. I have watched as many youtube videos of Rand interviews and other objectivist related ones as I could find. Most of this I have done before coming to this site, or for that matter, the at least two? other previous iterations of this site I contributed to. After joining the first Gulch I did read Introduction to Objectivist Epistemology and The Voice of Reason. During my time on this newest Gulch site, my only new material exposure has been the movies, and newer lectures etc. linked from this site.

I have always wanted to read The Romantic Manifesto and We the Living, but somehow they keep eluding me. So many books, so little time...

Regards,
O.A.

BTW since you were here Atlas Society has put up some great youtubes on some of the subjects we discussed.

Yes Fountainhead was the first AR book I read and I loved it. It reminded me of the telling of Galileo and the catholic church

Don't forget the book

Well get going - there is more and more objectivist novels and non-fiction coming out all the time. Also check out the excellent youtubes that Atlas Society has put up.

K I'm reading Introduction to Objectionist epistemology the expanded second edition, I've completed objectivism the philosophy of AR, Anthem, Fountain head, Ayn Rand for the new intellectual, and of course Atlas Shrugged.
Unknown to me at the time in the early 80 s I got into Rush s 2112 which was inspired by the Fountain Head however was not into reading at the time but being raised on a farm hard work and being a productive person was instilled at an early age. After my parents separated I was moved to the city. After many years I got tired in the corporate world and shrugged before I even knew about Ayn Rand and bought a small cattle ranch. Surfing Netflix I found Atlas Shrugged part one at the end credits I seen it was a book and haven't stopped since. I'm now eyeing more books including yours.

Understood

yes, we need to work harder at that, j

Is that how you came to read AS?

excellent

That sounds cool

How were you able to stop listening to it, instead of skipping work?

Perhaps you should arrange a tour when the Atlas Summit comes to your neighborhood. ;)

Hi ProfChuck

How do you approach quantum mechanics as an objectivist?

Wow

Sad

lol, I, I will not negate that you flipped me with your wit ;)

RE: "met Ayn Rand"
!?!?!?!?!?! Any more to this?
