The quest to remove American monuments and memorials is a curious assault on America’s dramatic history.

A man uses anabolic steroids to get women's attention, but Stefan Molyneux gets much deeper into the root causes of this behavior.

Rand says:

The inferiority-complex Russians and Chinese. The virtually infinitely wounded dignity and honor of the Russians and Chinese. The burning-with-embarrassment-and-shame Russians and Chinese.

It's Official: New Zealand's Prime Minister Declares Her Country a Shithole

In more enlightened times, within the living memory of many of us, Reaganomics, Thatchernomics and Rogernomics went some way to restoring the characteristics of First World status to the United States, Britain and New Zealand respectively.

Ayn Rand says: "The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man's rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence." (Galt's Speech, Atlas Shrugged, 1957)

It is said of Gustav Mahler that as a conductor he was a despot and a perfectionist. "To him there was no such thing as a minor detail," Harold C. Schonberg writes. "... Mahler would not tolerate inattentive or careless playing. Never in his life did he encounter an orchestra that satisfied him in his search for perfection." After conducting the premiere of his 5th Symphony in 1904, Mahler himself said, "Nobody understood it. I wish I could conduct the first performance fifty years after my death."

The best Objectivists are the passionately rational and rationally passionate ones. Or at least the philosophical and energetic ones who are also wise and lively.

Yaron Brook is the Ayn Rand Institute's chairman of the board. Although no longer ARI's CEO, he is still very much its public face. He seems to be putting most of his effort into his "radio" show.

Elliot Temple has continued his chapter by chapter discussion of Atlas Shrugged.

It is worth noting that politics is interesting only in as much as it pertains to philosophy, for it poses an important question: In what way should people be governed? Note the should. That word automatically supposes a value judgement about the topic.

ARI announces that Jim Brown is being replaced by yet another anti-American Israeli as CEO.

“It’s a man’s world and it always will be,” wrote Camille Paglia for ‘Time’ magazine back in 2013. She ends her article with these words:

The modern economy, with its vast production and distribution network, is a male epic, in which women have found a productive role — but women were not its author. Surely, modern women are strong enough now to give credit where credit is due!

"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."

Yaron Brook has said he does not support open immigration into Israel.

Colonialism has become the filthiest word in our modern lexicon; it is now more socially acceptable to publicly extol the virtues of sodomy than of colonial rule.

All countries today should be required to post this sign at their major border crossings and inside their large cities:

“I’ve got the power,” bellows a squat, sour-faced woman from her bicycle. Four boys, dead-eyed and sullen, follow behind in fluro-vests and safety-helmets.

Great post from Elliot Temple's blog on the concept of Objectivity in Objectivism (there is also some existing discussion there if people are interested). Full post below. Enjoy

George Berkeley, David Hume, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Immanuel Kant, Johann Fichte, and Georg Hegel are the philosophical scum of the earth.

America is paradise for black people. Nowhere else on earth do blacks have more freedom, money, health, security, cultural richness, social respect, and personal happiness.
