RE: The Nature of the Beast (Anarchapulco 2018)
Ok, I made some warming up comments to Ayn Rand, in the Part 3 @1.00 into the audio/video: https://steemit.com/alog18july2018/@lasseehlers/alog-on-18-july-2018-in-3-parts
I would like to read your comment to what I say about Ayn Rand in that video? And if you mind sending me your 3 favorite quotes from Ayn Rand, then I will appreciate it (and use it for my next video where I will be talking).
I will probably talk in greater details about Ayn Rand later today.
3 quotes:
"As a human being, you have no choice about the fact that you need a philosophy. Your only choice is whether you define your philosophy by a conscious, rational, disciplined process of thought and scrupulously logical deliberation — or let your subconscious accumulate a junk heap of unwarranted conclusions, false generalizations, undefined contradictions, undigested slogans, unidentified wishes, doubts and fears, thrown together by chance, but integrated by your subconscious into a kind of mongrel philosophy and fused into a single, solid weight: self-doubt, like a ball and chain in the place where your mind’s wings should have grown." Philosophy: Who Needs It, 5
"There are only two means by which men can deal with one another: guns or logic. Force or persuasion. Those who know that they cannot win by means of logic, have always resorted to guns."
"Competition is a by-product of productive work, not its goal. A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others."
