    I'm surprised that you don't hold some sort of official position with the Atlas U. Or do you and you're just keeping your OPSEC posture low?

    Inquiring minds (that would be all of us in the Gulch) want to know.

    =)

      No. I am no in no way affiliated with the Atlas Society. :) Db gives talks at the Atlas Summit. I am just a cheerleader for the movies and hopefully provide some fun and interesting posts in this Gulch and steer people to study more philosophy, esp. Objectivism. We generally enjoy most videos put out by both TAS and ARI (Ayn Rand Institute). It is typical that when we decide it's Happy Hour, we cue one up and enjoy a coctail while watching. Db always has a notepad close by. He writes furiously and then I am supposed to transcribe into the computer. Have you SEEN his writing? ARRRGGGHHHH. Db is speaking at FreedomFest on Friday in Vegas. HIs talk will be moderated by Gregory Clark, "Farewell to Alms." I cannot wait to meet John A.!!!! btw, several of us purchased your latest recommendation-Book group!!

        Wow. That's a whole lot to take in. What's yours and Db's choice of cocktail? Mine is a Tom Collins (using Bombay Sapphire exclusively). If you have never tried Bombay Sapphire (assuming you & Db like gin), you're missing out. Root beer fizzes are great too. Yes, Gin and root beer do go together.

        Sorry to hear about your transcribing additional duty. Yes, most people's writing is horrible, and I can only imagine when it's under pressure, trying to keep up with someone speaking. Finally, ??? you've bought some titles I recco'd? Damn. Yeah, I read the last part, only to find out that my w and I have already done most of his (Mr. Gonzalez) recommendations for ridding oneself of the MSM-endorsed viruses of the mind. Currently, I'm nearly through chapter one. I'm flattered and thanks.

    Great topic and very much needed! Thanks for posting here. I went to the link and would appreciate some guidance. I couldn't see a clear path or description of how to get to the full content, and what form it is. Video, audio, or what? Thanks in advance for more info!
