Name: Richard

Welcome to my channel!

My videos are meant to educate, entertain and foster discussion of Ayn Rand's work and her philosophy of Objectivism.

I'm 39, and a long time student of the philosophy. I'm from Dallas originally (hence the "ex" in my screen name) but I live in NY now. I'm a writer and composer. I wrote book, music and lyrics for an adaptation of "The Picture of Dorian Gray" that was premiered in CT a while back, and I just completed a 2-act farce that takes place the weekend of the Kennedy Assassination. As a composer, my vocal compositions are being performed by classical groups fairly often.

I had never tried my hand at film editing before these YouTube videos. I find I enjoy the craft of it a lot. I post as often as I can so please have patience- these videos take a lot of time!

Please comment and rate- that's the only value I ask in return for the work- just to know that I've engaged another's mind in appreciation of these ideas and ideals. Morally, I ask that my subscribers and viewers purchase Rand's novels and non-fiction themselves and view this channel as merely an ongoing discussion and exploration of those works we all legitimately own. If you would like to show apprciation, please donate on my behalf to the Ayn Rand Institute by visiting www.aynrand.org. Thank you!

	FurryAR (2 days ago) My only complaint with the style of the Galt speech videos is that they almost uniformly illustrate the foibles of religious doctrines with exempla from Christianity and Islam, without addressing the different but equally harmful ideologies of other popular faiths (Hinduism, Buddhism, taoism etc.) The target of reproach is, I thought , mysticism and denigration of both this world and human nature.
	cccochise (6 days ago) I think this is the best presentation on you tube. excellent work! Even though I am partial to AYN RAND's work I am especially dran in by the meaning of galts speach. You can listen to it a hundred times and still see different things in it every time. yor videos give it another level. Its obvious that you have put together things that you love, or have great meaning to you. When people do things they love or truly believe in. It is no mistake that it produces excellence. I will continue to listen and watch on a regular basis. Thank you.
	academiccuriosity (1 week ago) As everyone has already said, thanks for adding these videos. They're superb.
	ZackServo (1 week ago) awesome! I can't wait to see the 7th video.
	XCowboy2 (2 weeks ago) Hello everyone - got my software working and back to work on #7 tonight!
	XCowboy2 (2 weeks ago) Ok- back from the wedding- rested after finishing the play- ready to get back to work on the series- but my editing software is being glitchy!! Grr!!! I'm working on it.
	toweringQ2FL400 (3 weeks ago) Hats off to you. My own work is never finished, merely abandoned. I must study your method.
	XCowboy2 (3 weeks ago) Hey everybody- starting to get some energy back after the push to finish the play- should be back at Galt soon and hopefully the layoff will have done me good :-) Missing everybody!
	TheTripletmom (3 weeks ago) Superbly done...I cannot stop sharing these videos...Thank you for all the hard work...Thank you .
	Sam26100 (3 weeks ago) As much as I love the Galt series, I don't think they can be shown anywhere except youtube because are entirely composed of material which is copyrighted. Thankfully we do have youtube, so spread the videos around as much as you can, it's the next best thing, or maybe even better.
