 All right, let's get started here Jim your first Hey guys, um Let's see. I sorry didn't submit this in advance. I usually like to give you a little bit of a warning I think this one won't be so hard as some of my previous questions though Not a cover for that All right When When when I try to describe Myself when I try to use a term Depending on who I'm talking to sometimes for simplicity. I'll say I'm an objectivist, but most of the time I'll say that If there is any Philosophy that most that I most relate with it is objectivism. I do this Indeference to Einrahan's own principle of Seeing you know of saying flat out objectivism is a closed system is whatever she Said whatever she wrote whatever she thought And I don't I don't object to that per se but But then what would it mean for anyone to call themselves an objectivist unless they literally agreed with every last thing She said which I don't I don't know that you know, I want to believe that there are not too many objectives to really do but bottom-line question as you can see is What should I call myself? Well, I mean You know, that's up to you, but but at the end of the day, I don't think saying I'm an objectivist means that you've embraced that that you are Unquestioning of anything I may never said first not everything she said is in philosophy a lot of what she said is in psychology or in other areas and then I Think that by calling yourself an objectivist you basically saying I agree with with the principles. I agree with The fundamentals as Einrahan expressed them in terms of applications. I don't know. I'm not sure I agree with everything So I don't think saying you're an objectivist means you agree with everything she said I Think it's useful to describe oneself as an objectivist I think it's good to get the term out there into the world But I think saying your student of objectivism or saying that you follow objectivism I mean these are all fine as long as you get objectivism in there because I think again I think it's good to get that there is such a philosophy and that that it's a it's a philosophy for living people live by it or try to live by it and And that's what you're really saying You're saying I try to live by these ideas, but then let me flip that over if I mean If someone then says oh, does that mean you? believe in objectivism If objectivism is that closed system am I gonna say I agree with most of it I agree with the fundamentals of it. I you know, I I'm not gonna say here. I agree with every word I never said you know you can you can make the coffee out so you can then you know You're not committed to having one answer You want to say something on this you're muted Just quickly, you know Jim in kind of casual context where I ran an objectivism is kind of a hot topic What about saying I'm an individualist, you know, I make choices based on my own decisions for my own benefit and with full context and Putting it in that because most people I think you know your own you always say that every audience says yeah I own my life. I would like to think that most people would like to think that they are Individuals on some level. Yep. Well, no, I think individualist is a great. It's a great way Great, but I would like to see people using objectivist more Because I would like to get it into the culture that there is such a thing there is a philosophy There are people and the more we set we don't just say we're followers of iron man Which sounds cultish. No, we adhere to a philosophy. There's a philosophy out there called objectivism And that's the kind of so I'd like to see us using that terminology more or not Thank you, Jennifer What we need today what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason By the intellect not by feelings wishes wins or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life and who does not get want to give in to today's cult of the spare cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist All right before we go on reminder, please like the show We've got a hundred and sixty-three live listeners right now 30 likes That should be at least a hundred.
