"The emotion involved in art is not an emotion in the ordinary meaning of the term. It is experienced more as a 'sense' or a 'feel,' but it has two characteristics pertaining to emotions: it is automatically immediate and it has an intense, profoundly personal (yet undefined) value-meaning to the individual experiencing it.

Summary - HAD ENOUGH BS - Presentation to local MP Kaikoura - Stuart Smith

Judi McFarland's picture
Submitted by Judi McFarland on Wed, 2021-09-22 11:14

Hi Mr Smith,

As follow-up to our meeting this morning, I herein summarize the points I brought to your attention. There is a lot more I could say, however for purposes of retention and hopefully follow-through, I’ll keep it simple:

1. Education – I support Vouchers for Choice. Of course there needs to be choice where vouchers could be utilized. In NZ at present there is no choice for our youth. I would like to see Vouchers to be given back to the parents to offset some of the cost of home-schooling. Parents would thereby have the option to design a curriculum that fits their values and priorities for their own children’s future.

KASS Quote of the Century: Steven Mallory's Drooling Beast

Submitted by Bravest Man in ... on Wed, 2007-11-21 21:54

"Listen, what's the most horrible experience you can imagine? To me—it's being left, unarmed, in a sealed cell with a drooling beast of prey or a maniac who's had some disease that's eaten his brain out. You'd have nothing then but your voice—your voice and your thought. You'd scream to that creature why it should not touch you, you'd have the most eloquent words, the unanswerable words, you'd become the vessel of the absolute truth.

Anarcho-Capitalism is not a valid criticism of American government or economics or morality, nor does it offfer any moral alternative.

Here’s an outline.

The Confessions of an Orthodox Objectivist

Chanakya's picture
Submitted by Chanakya on Mon, 2017-04-17 03:03

I have a confession to make. For two years I was an Orthodox Objectivist.

On any usual day, I used to make nice and reverent comments in the social media about some Objectivist God or demigod (I will reveal later in the article who the Gods and the demigods are). I was a member of the “Orthodox brigade” on FB—we used to “like” each other’s nice and reverent posts and leave complimentary comments.

The Harry Potter Syndrome in Objectivism

Chanakya's picture
Submitted by Chanakya on Tue, 2017-04-04 01:49

Soon after I became active in the FB Objectivist circles about 3-years ago, I realized that Ayn Rand’s philosophy of reason has transmogrified into a system of revelation. Many Objectivists believe that Rand is their first God, her intellectual heir Dr. Leonard Peikoff is their second God, and the intellectuals endorsed by Dr. Peikoff are their myriad demigods.
