@Aarron0883, this is one of the videos that I didn't yet see, even though it should have been the first. I wasn't very systematic in going through your videos and this escaped me despite the title.
This is also the answer to a question I've been having some time ago. Can you prioritize the literature? Maybe in the video description - it's somewhat tedious to scrap the titles from audio anyway. The whole canon is too big a recommendation! I only read 6 pillars of self-esteem which I like.
@john42t Yeah ... I understand that if someone is using my videos as a tool for learning that I dont organize it that for for those purposes. However, I am bad at organization in many ways, and I primarily use my videos for self-expression rather than as a learning tool for others (Of course, if people do learn than that is super awesome). Maybe at some point I will go back and try to organize a little better.
Also great. Though, I think that ultimately, the study of mind should be grounded in mathematics, perhaps AI theory. It takes a long time to explain, however.
I totally agree that nathaniel brandens books are somewhat "superficial", however I'm currently reading his book "Honoring the Self" which has some -really- good ideas in it.
And btw. Aron I'm trying to learn Objectivism but I'm having some trouble understanding her view of concepts (even though I have ITOE) ex. "to speak of value as apart from life is worse than a contradiction in terms" ?? If you feel the need to make another language video could you talk some about concepts? that would be awesome.
To use your example, it would be a contradiction in terms to detach the concept of value from the concept of life because value is contingent upon life. In other words, there is no value without life.
Selfish gene? How could you be selfish from your genes? It's like saying you were born gay.

Does that help in any way?
