now after I heard your childhood story, I realize why you are so Fucked Up! Boy .. I feel for you, with that two faced dad and that social awkwardness, ... of course you end up an ideologically blind hate monger.
-- Ayn Rand was nothing but Nietzsche for half educated and lazy ones who can get on their butt and read Nietzsche himself ... and applying her very flawed ideology to areas such as economics and foreign policy is both irrational and counter productive.
As far as lending credence to ridiculous claims by addressing them, I'm not so worried about that. Mostly what I've done is seen what you really have to say. I'm not as omniscient as you seem to be, so it helps me to try to figure out how people come to ludicrous conclusions. Much appreciated.
@Attritive Any real Objectivist would NEVER waste their time debating with an evil, irrational, ludicrous faux-Objectivist, who has the audacity to insult the almighty Peacock which as we know, was once the grand emblem of the NBC network and has sadly fallen into disrepute. Praise be to Peacock. May the non-objective die a miserable deal and don't forget, rights are contextual according the Peacock. If you end up on an island owned by me, please feel free to attack my fence and my body.
Oh this is great. When do we get to the part when we're told that we're not Objectivists unless we're for blowing up the WTC mosque!? Can't wait. Socially inept is right baby!
@shonstar You're not an Objectivist unless you try to actually understand the nature of the war between the West and Islam. If you really think something is wrong with Objectivists today, sitting around on Peikoff videos and bashing him isn't really going to fix things. Btw, do you ever have anything substantial to say about Peikoff's accomplishments in the field of philosophy, or do you just leave philosophy to 'Randroids'?
@Attritive Are you on every Peikoff page, trying to defend him? I don't think that there is something wrong with "Objectivists" because there is no such thing as a singular, monolithic group of "same-thinking" people. There is something wrong with many people who call themselves "Objectivists" which I have found over 17 years of dealing with them, most of whom eventually reject Rand because they could never quite learn how to integrate the philosophy into their lives.
@shonstar The most glaring evidence of the backwards thinking of people like you and Peikoff is this "YOU'RE NOT AN OBJECTIVIST IF YOU DON"T AGREE WITH (insert political opinion)". Don't want to vote democrat - you're not an Objectivist. Don't want to blow up the world trade center mosque? You're not an Objectivist. Think that Peikoff should give some reasons for his condemnation of people on occasion? You're not an Objectivist. Don't want to blindly support Israel? Not an Objectivist.
@Attritive it seems that I told myself off in an earlier post lol. That will show me. Um...am I supposed to be angy and little? I'm 5'10. And kind of happy, witty, brilliant. You would think you would be bored fighting with me but it seems to be an amusement. I'm not too bored myself. I'm just shocked that you haven't picked up Peikoff's clear idea to not engage with people who are clearly irrational, immoral, short, angry, etc. and yet you can't stop yourself.
@shonstar Above all else, whether it be your 'kind of happiness', 'wit', or 'brilliance', nothing shines brighter than your ability to create a straw man. I have another piece of evidence for you of my so-called backward thinking:: if a person knows as much as you do about Peikoff and Objectivism, and has the sort of half-figured nonsense to say about the man, that person is not an Objectivist; he's an internet troll.
@Attritive Dude, you are and have been, trying to pick a fight with me over the Peacock, in a small white box that only allows me 500 or so characters. If you would like to seriously debate me, and continue to put on a little show for anyone who cares to watch, why don't we move our party over the facebook Ayn Rand page. And since Leonard is the world's foremost authority on Ayn Rand, perhaps he will pay attention and show gratitude towards you by letting you sign your name on the wtc bomb.
You are utter trash. You're lucky that you're hiding behind a keyboard, because If you said that in my presence out in the street, I'd slap you across your face.
Peikoff was friends with "Izzy" (Israel) Asper? Wow. That must be the same person who became a businessman (now deceased). He was a huge magnate in the publishing business in Western Canada. That's pretty neat.

This man is a sociopath, a sick demented puppy who will improve the earth by reducing the evil in this world with his death.

We should not burn his body as it will contaminate the atmosphere, we should freeze him and send him as far into space as possible.

Please Peikoff, move on and improve the earth already!

It seem that Leonard Peikoff was born in October 15, 1933, according to Wikipedia.
That would make him 76 years of age, but he certainly doesn't look very old to me! He could probably pass for a man 20 years younger!

No, it's "Manual Arts". I think I recall Peikoff saying how bad he is (was?) at mechanical/manual-type work.

Yeah, I remember that. When someone asked him how to pick a career to pursue. I think.
