From Superhero Babylon:For election day, a mini-version of A SHOW OF HANDS: A Cautionary Tale of Heroes in Exile.

Everybody's been so focused on the political side of Jordan Peterson, but of more importance, if one places politics downstream of such things, is his philosophical, Kantian side.

The debate everone's talking about.

3 quotes by Jordan Peterson on the meaning of life:

"No, the government would not establish any censorship; it would not need to." Ayn Rand, "Government by Intimidation"

"The “Guardians” would be the defenders of structure and order, and the “Traders” are the explorers and bring in fresh ideas. The traders (touting "diversity is our strength") would tout the utopian, Star Trek view of all neighbors living in peace, trading and learning from each other, and that closed societies breed stagnation and decay, and the Guardians would protect the society from internal and external aggression, acting like an immune system, protecting the integrity of society; "good fences make good neighbors."

"Always look on the bright side of death/Just before you draw your terminal breath." -Monty Python's Life of Brian

This past Saturday (November 4th, 2017) was supposed to have been the rise of Antifa's "relentess civil war", and we were promised demonstrations and disruption, from city to city.

The question has been asked, on this forum, why so many Objectivists stay silent when they should be speaking up against evil. I've had that question in mind for some time now, myself.

Long-time SOLO readers may remember the SOLO 2003 convention in Philadelphia's historic district, home of the Liberty Bell, but much has been forgotten at the Birthplace of Liberty.

You've most likely heard, by now, about the Christmas day terrorist attempt to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253, another demonstration of the truth of Islam. Fortunately, we got a demonstration of true heroism as well. Meet Jasper Schuringa.

"Welcome back, my friends, to the show that never ends..." Avatar is not only a hash of new-age ideas in a technicolor dreamcoat, it's a rehash of new-age ideas in said dreamcoat. The progressive rock bands of the seventies beat Cameron to the punch, and it shows; not only are the visual designs digital animations of a Yes album, the philosophical themes are co-opted as well...including the contradictions.

“I quit when medicine was placed under State control, some years ago,” said Dr. Hendricks.

"Don't Despair! Don't give up! We will reach an agreement with John Galt. We will get him to lead us. He will solve all our problems. He will make things work. Don't give up! We will get John Galt!"

"Clark, just stop, ok? I mean, your willingness to sacrifice yourself for others is a great strength, for sure, but when it comes to your own happiness, it's definitely a weakness." -Chloe Sullivan, Season 9, "Crossfire"

Now that I've got your attention , my review, as published on Amazon.com.

(excerpt from original post at Superhero Babylon)

While great villains do help to make the hero, if the villains steal the show, then the heroes have failed. To be fair, it's not a problem specific to Heroes; it's a problem of philosophy. Ayn Rand nailed this problem in The Romantic Manifesto.

I Belong To You (+ Mon Ceur S'ouvre A Ta Voix)-(Particularly, the part at Approx. 2'10 to 4'10)

There are those who would say that a movie such as this is the wrong way to think about WWII, and are in favor of taking the "moral high road." There are even people who would say that we should even forgive Hitler for his atrocities.

Those people are dead wrong.

I am all in favor of exposing the Obama administration for the socialist/fascist agenda that it is, but I do not approve of alarmist methods or distortions. That said, everything this administration has done so far has been so mired in double-speak and weasel-words; it's not easy to call "bullshit!" outright. (In Rand's words, it takes some "philosophical detection.") That's because politicians know how to cover their tracks and dupe the average American Idol voter with feel-good slogans and vague notions ("Surely they couldn't meant THAT!"). So this next bit of info, well, you're going to have to work out yourself.
