Mr. Stolyarov comments on the merits and shortcomings of Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism and its contemporary incarnations. He considers himself an Objectivist in the broad sense, but not in the narrow sense, and a strong advocate for an open, evolving, interacting, and continually expanding philosophy of Objectivism. Mr. Stolyarov suggests areas of improvement for objectivism in pursuing integrations with (i) economics, (ii) classical liberal thought, (iii) transhumanism, and (iv) the thoughts of creative, innovative Objectivists who are willing to take the philosophy into new territory.

Objectivism has been touted as the new invention/discovery, which more and more groups are claiming their own from laissez faire groups to radical communists and from staunchest athiests to religious fundamentalist groups. You probably think oh no another guy is gonna tell us all those other groups are wrong and my brand of objectivism is the way to go (hell no we won't tolerate that now; will we?!!!). But you are wrong I am gonna tell you that either based on nature of the people or based on upbringing and conditioning or a combination of both each individual will gravitate towards one of the existing schools of thought or they will MAKE THEIR OWN FLAVOR to suit their needs and desires. But the plain fact is that since the appearance of the human species on the planet the creation of frameworks and moral/political/religious TRUTHs has never stopped and will never stop. And in reality objectivism is just a fancy new term to refer to the good old TRUTH term. And as you may have seen or may want to see later in the video of mine titled "Rule of Majority Vs. Self Determination" you will realize that firstly the subjuggation of minorities by the majorities in various geopolitical divisions of the world today is not at all fair or just and democracy is another one of those fancy words to refer to the dictatorship by majorities. Secondly the right to self determination by any group no matter how small should be recognized and emphasized in the constitutions of The Republic of <b>...</b>

They're all here: Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, Alan Greenspan, Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Neal Boortz, Alex Jones, Glenn Beck, John Stossel--the whole motley crew. With some help from Mike Wallace, Maria Ouspenskaya, Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, Cenk Uygur, Congressman Henry Waxman and Mike Malloy. Note: This is not an objective analysis of these two ideologies. It's a subjective work of propaganda aimed at Americans undecided about the legitimacy of right-wing "libertarianism," (ie., anarcho-capitalism). I'm aware that anarchist/libertarian socialism, or communism, and anarcho-capitalism aren't the only forms of anarchism. On the political left there's also anarchist collectivism, individualism, socialism, mutualism, syndicalism, pacifism, council communism, etc. I stand by my statement that Ayn Rand was a sociopath. My mention of her rapid eye movement was only humor. She may have had a simple vision problem. As far as left libertarian successes go, there's the Paris Commune of 1871, the Free Territory of Ukraine, 1919-1921, anarchist Catalonia and other provinces in Spain in 1936. And to a lesser extent, Yugoslavia under Tito and the brief Hungarian revolution against the Soviet Union. All of these anarchist experiments were destroyed by either Western liberal or fascist reactionary forces, or the Soviet Union, or by both. Today there are semi-socialist experiments like Mondragon in Spain which consists of over 250 federated companies, worker owned <b>...</b>

A video of concision that fires directly to the foundations of the novelist Ayn Rand's Objectivist ethical theory, thereby destroying it. If the video were longer, it would only consist of further examples and side-notes based around the fundamental error of 'Objectivism': that a condition for a set is not thereby necessarily a member of that set. An example of Rand's error: 'let me stress that the fact that living entities exist and function necessitates the existence of values and of an ultimate value which for any given living entity is its own life.' (- The Virtue of Selfishness, p.14) All political theories based on Objectivism are thus flawed. (See Shermer on how Objectivism is a religious cult: www.2think.org

I am really quite split on whether I love or hate Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism: First the bad news: 1.) Objectivism is anti-Platonist, and argues that it is irrational to hold a priori truths which are the basis for objectivity. 2.) Objectivism holds to a motivation based approach to ethics. Selfishness = good and altruism = bad. I don't see it that way. Ethics should be derived in a completely detached "Vulcan" sort of way where neither altruism or egoism come into the picture. 3.) Though this sometimes varies from Objectivist to Objectivist there seems to be a trope of anti-theism connected with it. I believe that even if there is no God, anti-theism is noxious and anal-retentive. Now the good news: 1.) Objectivism aggressively defends the existence of absolutes. With post-modern sophistry in epistemology and values and cultural relativism in ethics today -all masquerading as "rational" and "enlightened" of course- it is refreshing for someone to come along and tell a sophist idiot that they are full of it -and give them a taste of their own arrogance while they are at it. It's also nice to force social scientists to accept that yes indeed there are such things as PRIMITIVE societies! 2.) Objectivism is a form of right-wing rationalism. Too much of conservativism prides itself in being anti-intellectual or anti-ideological. Russel Kirk for example says that conservativism can not be ideological. This attitude has never gone well with me. Objectivism by contrast <b>...</b>

Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Objectivism stresses that external reality exists, and the only way to discover it is by using the process of reason. Certain Buddhist meditation, (ie: Vipassana) stresses that perceiving the truth of our subjective psychological reality allows us to be free of blind emotional reactions and motivations. This means we are capable of being more objective. Both state that misunderstanding reality leads to error, suffering and destruction. Combining these two, understanding the truth of objective and subjective reality will enable one to achieve the highest state possible to a human being.

The possible choices as allowed by the Conway-Kochen Theorem are: 1.) Free-Will and immaterialism. 2.) Immaterialism and no free-will. No other options are physically allowable, and I opt for #1.), since our selection of mode of observation in the quantum eraser experiment determines how physical reality will be. Dhorpatan and Objectivism, however, want to have their cake and eat it too. Dhorpatan can not hold free-will, and materialism (or what he might mis-label "Objective reality" -as in something materially real existing) at the same time. References: 1.)

Kelley defends Objectivism's role in helping to form the intellectual foundations for a free society in a twofold sense: its necessity for what he sees as a rigorous intellectual defense of the free society, and its role in defending and promoting those cultural values that must be widely accepted for a free society to be stable. Kelley demonstrates the indispensable role of individual rights as a defining characteristic of a free society, and then proceeds to launch a devastating attack on any form of ethical subjectivism as a basis for defending individual liberty. He examines three broad principles that he argues are absolutely essential in defending and sustaining individual freedom: the primacy of reason; egoism or the doctrine that every individual is an end in himself; and a rejection of the mind/body dichotomy. Finally, Kelley eloquently summarizes some of Ayn Rand's major contributions in defending these principles. This concise and <b>...</b>
