Re: Proving a Negative

I disagree that finding an alternative explanation to Earth's movements rules out any others. The selling point of mathematics is that there are multiple explanations to an observation. I could even write one up for the turtle thing. Its seems that the standard of proof here has gotten completely m...

Re: Non-Aggression Agreement

While I am not in a position to reciprocate your gesture of peace, I'd like to believe that its is appropriate for me to express myself on this forum. I believe EVE is filled with many different players with many different beliefs and diverse reasons for playing. I also hold that establishing peacef...

Re: Is the corporation compatible with an Objectivist society?

And I wondered how he could get a PhD with such dysfunctional perspectives I do not perceive most degrees as a measure of anything practical, especially of one's intelligence, rationality, or even of one's understanding of the subject they claimed to have studied (ie., most university faculty, or M...

Re: Civic Duty

When people get tired of left subjectivism they turn to faith, since religion offers the only available fundamental answers. No other common philosophy exist todays in US. Objectivism is still a tiny and mostly unknown minority on the philosophical scale in US. While I will agree that this dichotom...

Re: Civic Duty

As an objectivist/individualist the idea of anyone pouring any kind of philosophy into my children's heads is frankly offensive. One of the state's primary weapons against free thought and political dissent is compulsory public education. As long as schools are state run the curriculum will hold the...

Re: Is the corporation compatible with an Objectivist society?

Thanks for the clarification by the way The “real” owner distinction is a slippery slope. What portion of the company do I need to have to be considered a real owner? 10%, 20%? Let’s say you decide 10% is the number – beyond 10% you are considered an “owner” and now you no longer have to protection ...

Re: Is the corporation compatible with an Objectivist society?

The Owner get’s prosecuted criminally, the investor is punished / responsible for damages civilly. As the proprietor, the owner is the investor. The owner is on both hooks, the investor only one. Should the investors have the same responsibility as an Owner? Absolutely not. Here's my understanding:...

Re: Is the corporation compatible with an Objectivist society?

In my opinion the concept of a "corporation" itself is not at odds with free market capitalism. The idea of a group of investors getting together to minimize risk and maximize profits may well be the ideal method for many situations. The problem I see (just like many other things) began wh...

Re: 'Hello', from a soon-to-be applicant.

That's an usual order of books there. VoS generally doesn't come up until much later.
Really? My wife and I both read Virtue of Selfness first, the Atlas, and now were working through the rest of her works one by one.
