A sharp critique of the pseudo-objectivist report on the US humanities.

Correct on the Iran War but way off believing a fucking objectivist idiot dentist who thinks atlas shrugged is non-fiction & loves the welfare queen ayn rand who thought that a true man dismembered children over a world renowned virologist !!!!!!

I was an objectivist for 3 weeks and then was devastated finding out her positions on homosexuality on wikipedia lmfao incredible 12 yo run (i was functionally a log cabin republican)

Would you describe yourself as a Christian Objectivist? Out of curiosity, because I’m considering the philosophy myself

oh a celebration 100% Ditko wrote in essays how much he loved objectivism and how not being able to make his characters objectivist is partially why he left Marvel

New article published by Dr. David Litz from the #UNBCED with Zang Li from Qingdao University and Nicolas Gromik. "Bridging Theory and Practice: Integrating Objectivist-Constructivist Pedagogy in Medical Translation Education," in Education Sciences, MDPI. mdpi-res.com/d_attachment/ed…

Kilos, km etc are concepts, not percepts or sensory data: They are mental units with existential connection & dependence on reality. Most philosophical traditions disconnect concepts from reality in the Platonic tradition. My recommendation to read Rand's Intro to objectivist epistemology was sincere. I believe that this was the first theory of concepts that successfully established their links and dependence on existence and reality. She covers axioms, simple concepts of objects, concepts of relationships and derivative, second and third order concepts. It was challenging for me to grasp in the 1970s, but still seems consistent and logical 50 years later. The second edition has a paper by Dr Leonard Peikoff on the Analytic-Synthetic Dichotomy which is brilliant. There is also a sizable section where Rand answers common technical questions regarding her theory of concepts.

Tf you on about? The woman cited is a conservative, not a libertarian, and certainly not an objectivist. I'm an objectivist myself and I think you're full of shit, and just smearing.

For the Watchmen portion, I find the irony delicious that "muh media literacy" types (the ones who know absolutely zero about the arts), taking an objectivist perspective on a tale about the paradox of said philosophy. Mr A is also far more rigid than Rorschach.

does this mean porco rosso has objectivist/anarcho-capitalist themes in which the ideal status quo is one where order in absence of law is decided by private actors and the introduction of state enforcement (the rise of fascism) is destructive to the integrity of said status quo?

Really showing how ya'll lack media literacy because Rorschach is an objectivist character. There is a whole irony to him being an objectivist, yet he has a literal Rorschach mask.

The fact he is still leaning on the 'tickets sold' fallacy witch has ho solid ground to stand on and to call MOS more 'moving' than Superman last year is just an insult to my intelligence when I was more moved by gunn's thesis of having Superman exist in a cynical and jaded world where most of society views kindness and compassion as weakness and 'out dated' like our own and seeing how a man and symbol of hope and optimism can exist and endure in the 21st century whereas man of steel was just trying to placate to those who loathe the actual character of Superman and would rather want a Batman pretender with much more cynical and nihilistic world view mixed in with Ayn Randian objectivist philosophy. And the fact he hast to 'end' it with this being 'nostalga goodwill' meanwhile this film used the original Superman as its template while carving out its own path to greatness and lets not obfuscate form the fact that Superman had a much more higher profit margin than MOS, sorry not sorry. And Superman has been universally perceived much more highly than Snyder's misguided reinvention of a character that never needed it. Also, if Man of Steel was 'so successful' like you say, whereas Man of Steel 2 then?

Studying quantification logic and objectivist epistemology has increased my understanding of Swift and has led to an exponential increase in my cognition. My road leads into the desert.

All of the filthy degenerates in modern day Hollywood have absolutely no understanding of this type of moral code. Everything is amoral, objectivist and subverted.

bioshocks ADAM is like barely justified beyond "its an objectivist society without ethics so of course theyd recklessly exploit a resource" but this actually being like vitally necessary to survive in space is just a perfect explanation for why EVERYONE's on that mothjuice

I found these books today at a small used bookstore in a beach town in Massachusetts. Finding libertarian or objectivist books in a random bookstore is such an American experience

Yeah, and I wish I could take Atlas Network money to LARP as a “think tank” spreading objectivist bullshit, but having a shred of morality gets in the way.
