Honest serious question:

Is there a difference between collectivists and Altruists. If so what are they?

[MrCropper]

There is no essential difference between collectivism and mysticism - collectivism is inherently mystical and mysticism is inherently collectivistic, i.e. anti-mind, i.e. anti-individual.

Thanks for the video or videos. I enjoy them.I plan to read Fountainhead, Anthem, and Atlas Shrugged soon. Can you reccommend me some other literature books you really enjoyed that are worth reading? Id appreciate it.

"Can you reccommend me some other literature books you really enjoyed that are worth reading?"

Henrik Ibsen is the only benevolent one that comes to mind. Dostoyevsky is good generally speaking.

Henrik Ibsen - which work of his do you like?

[MrCropper]

I loved "Enemy of the People' and "Doll's House" is pretty good.

I really like the Lois Cook quote. Ayn Rand portrayed the non-conformists brilliantly. Doing the exact opposite as everyone else is just as bad as doing the same as everyone else! You are still basing your life on other people!

As usual, lots of bashing with no evidence or examples to speak of. You're quite the authority on what being an intellectual means aren't you.

Who do you consider a great artist?

You said it at 8:05, man. I couldn't agree more. I go to art school and a handful of the professors have always held Picasso with such high regard without giving any valid reason. I even had one instructor (for a COLOR THEORY class) who made us do an assignment that required us to make "master copies" of Picasso's Guernica. Look it up, you'll see what I mean. I never had the balls to call the instructor out on his bullshit, which I regret.

I do not think so. Because enjoyment is enjoyment. Denying enjoyment is denying a fundamental and natural human desire, which is irrational. Enjoyment only becomes un-objectivist if it stops other people from accomplishing anything they would like, otherwise, enjoying a picnic on a sunny day is rational and objectivist.

take a day off from work and celebrate the supreme gift of life they were given. There is a difference between Roark and the people in the car, but is Roark necessarily better than them if they acquired their car, ukulele, food, and everything else they have by working honestly in whatever their profession may be? Would Rand criticize people for enjoying life?

[Expedio212]

Hello

I just watched your video and I had a question about the second quote you read, the one about the people in the car on their way to having a picnic. I feel that Rand isn't attempting to portray the people in the quotation as essentially un-objectivist. Although Ms. Rand does hold that the pleasure of one's life should come from doing intellectual, advanced, or just generally "good" work, I find it incongruous for her to condemn the natural desires of the human to once, in a while,

Good quotes. I want to add a personal favourite, "So if you seek a glimpse of greatness, if you want exaltation,if you ask for God and refuse to accept the washing of wounds as substitute- you're called a hater of humanity, Mrs Keating, because you've committed the crime of knowing a love humanity has not learned to deserve."

One thing you've mentioned was the fact that those artists depraved the progress of society. What makes Kandinsky an idiot? What makes James Joyce a poor writer? gd to knw
