Thoughts on the philosophy of Ayn Rand

Tagged:  •    •    •  

There too much idealism within Ayn Rand’s books – the ideal of what a man, and a woman should be. The ideal that always stands to be perfection because of the contrasts she depicts – the contrasts of weak men partiality on unfocused humanitarian concepts that have no real sustainable or noble use to man’s development.

Armegeddon future

Tagged:  •  

I imagine one day the world as we know it might end. Actually, I have that in my mind constantly. Sometimes it seems as though we're attracted, fatalistically, to the most tragic possibilities. Yet in a way it's exhilarating. You imagine a world that would be much more difficult than the one we currently reside in - much more challenging.

Nanking again

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

Yesterday I was taking a shower with the radio turned on. For it's one of my beliefs that taking a shower/standing in line/eating/taking a ride in the car/jogging...and other miscellaneous things we do to be somewhat boring, and I make a point to read a book or have my attention fixated on something that I can think about - like the radio.

Tagged:  •    •    •    •  

If, for a class, it would be beneficial to create "English speaking days" during which all everyone spoke was English, and there were one or two individuals who spoke English exceptionally well and might prove useful to the endeavor, what would prevent the class from commencing such a venture?

1. It takes effort to speak a foreign language.

Invalidating time travel into the past

Tagged:

Suppose it is possible for a device that allows time travel into the past. It is in its preliminary stages so understandably scientists are wary of using human subjects. Instead, they use an object - a ball, for example. Now, in these initial testings the traveling can only go as far back as a few minutes.

  What I would like to do here is draw a few parallels between Palestine and Taiwan concerning the status problems they are facing.
