@kpeace Yah, I wouldn’t look to JBP for a clear understanding of #AynRand’s philosophy of #Objectivism. Or much else.

Watch "This Caused Dr. Jordan Peterson to Change His Political Thinking"
He is saying that be started seeing *productivity* as a virtue and that he thinks that the problem with those who appose socialism is that they don't have a well defined, explicit, philosophy.
What an introduction to #objectivism!
It's quite a tragedy that religion messes up his world view...

https://youtube.com/watch?v=nobSkuX72k8&feature=share
He specifically covers #capitalism and #charity, #guns and #GunControl, and #war
Stick around for the Q&A for discussion on #EdwardSnowden, #NorthKorea, and #immigration

#Objectivism is so much the opposite of their playground fantasies.

Ah, @mptpro’s #Goodreads has #NathanielBranden, #DavidKelley, and other “open #Objectivism” shysters while only one actual work of #AynRand: https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/37857128-michael-thomas
So it’s ignorance through received gall.

Most of Rand's philosophy comes down to rationalizing avarice, but that doesn't mean it can't be useful. #philosophy #objectivism #altruism

23 followers · 63 posts · Server hachyderm.ioBeen a while since I've read any #philosophy. Ayn #Rand's #Objectivism is interesting so far re existence+identity+consciousness, but the rejection of the Kantian dichotomy isn't making sense as form vs object amounts to the same thing IMO. Or maybe I need to refresh on #Kant... 🤔

650 followers · 3961 posts · Server social.sdf.org@pairko @rrwo @cstross There is a meme-happy organization founded in 1990 by a former student of #AynRand that traffics with #libertarians while promoting a fatally compromised “open” approach to #Objectivism.
It’s all very inside baseball, but the terrible result is further confusion over what #Rand and her #philosophy are actually about.
*That* was a splintering.
