What's in a name? - What is the significance of your Gulch pseudonym?
Some of us, like myself, opt to post under a pseudonym.
However, being Objectivists, for the most part, those pseudonyms in all likelihood mean something specific to the wielder.
So, what's your psuedonym's deeper meaning?
I'll start:
Eudaimonia - (from wiktionary's entry on eudemonia - http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/eudemonia#...) - A person’s state of excellence characterized by objective flourishing across a lifetime, and brought about through the exercise of moral virtue, practical wisdom, and rationality.
Eudaimonia, to me is a state of flourishing as a result of rational self-interest.
I first came across the term in a philosophy class titled "Ethical Individualism".
Eudaimonia, to me, is a goal which can best be summed up with the phrase "the good life".
"The good life", in fact, is my standard drinking toast.
