"There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he's absolutely free to choose."

William M. Bulger

"Accept the fact that the achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness -- not pain or mindless self-indulgence -- is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values."

Ayn Rand: Atlas Shrugged, Galt speech.

Hey, there. I'm somewhat new to Objectivism; you seem very well versed in regards to said philosophy, so I thought I might adress my question toward you. (Any answer you could provide me with would be greatly appreciated).

I've read Atlas Shrugged, The Virtue of Selfishness (which I am currently re-reading, and I am currently reading the Fountainhead. I find the philosophy to be very cogent, and Rand's arguments are very compelling. However, I am also reading a bit of Neitzsche--Zarathustra--and I find his nihilism very unsettling. I've read Rand's arguments against such amoralism, but for some reason I am still very disconcerted by some of what Neitzsche had to say. So my question would simply be this: what are your views on nihilism and how do you think Rand's ethics has solved this conundrum?

I wouldn't know the answer to that since its probably different for different people.
For me, we are social animals that do best when we work together, competing with one another for the basic necessities of life is sick.

Love your Ayn Rand quote, is the book really as good as they say? I think I'll read it soon.

It was in there; I just didn't talk about it. My attention skipped right over it. It's in the very beginning.

Great videos.

As for your project on the implications of postmodernism, how about The Closing of the American mind by Allan Bloom? You probably know it already, but I didn't see it in your videos on your books.

Peace
