objetivist rhertoric

Interesting, listening to this objectivist lecture. It is interesting because, it oversimplifies the same factors that is accused of Socialism. What is interesting is that, it disses math. The speaker, with "rehtorics" attempts to put math in a bad light.

Math, is bad? Hmmm... Why such a person would see math as bad. The very truth and power math has given people to understand the world around them.

One of the startling concepts these people, shock me with is their ignorance about accumulated power and monopoly. Regulation prevent monopoly, and the very regulation they hate and persecute are the very laws that "evolved" through science to better suit the realities of interactive forces.

Doesnt this kind of anti-math rhetoric remind you of Religious rhetoric that attacks Reason and asks Faith in its place? An evolution of propaganda, now that Faith is easily dismissed because of the little investment it takes to realize the value of evidence and empiricism; Math is attacked, because few people can understand it (and the general attitude regarding math doesn't really help).

Monopoly, has its origins in Primogenitur - the concept that allowed families in power to pass along this assets intact to next generations. This allowed for power to accumilate over an amount of time, far greater than one's own life span. Power and Influence grew to levels that dominated everyone else and subverted everything to its own singular advantage. At this point, on random instances of self-lessness: Those who earned the title "The great" Charlamaine, Alfred, Catherine, etc... were those who allowed others to entrepreneur by opening up opportunity through: trade, education, and rights.

Interesting, how craziness and stupidity can accumulate so many degrees. Without the tempering of science and humanism, it seems psychopaths who operate on a parasitic strategy have begun to thrive. (parasitic, and not even symbiotic).

I stumbled on this when I was looking for barbarians at the gates, and how gametheory explained this economic bail out. If subjectivist don't use science and math to come to their conclusions, then what makes their point of views valid?

Ojectivism has more in common with religion, than free thinking or scientific philosophy. Arbitrary thinking, without the tempering discipline of science, empiricism, pragmatism, rationalism, etc.

So are Trekkie are totally anti-objectivist: The good of the many outweigh the good of the few?

I wonder how much do Objectivists understand about Evolution and natural selection?

Technically I'm done with the project

no charter . after learning what a charter is and because they don't work with a charter I'll never do a project without it. A charter is a written agreement with a project sponsor/employer/ in what outputs to be expected and what points are needed to consider a project done. I've never worked with a character before and was continually frustrated and depressed because of constant revisions and fluctuating tastes and expectations. I'd rather be thought of a total prick than to destroy my life working without a charter. This comes up because, when technically my dad removed me from the website project I'm being asked to arrange it again. This fuels my wishes, not to mention memories of unbearable depressions, to really leave the company I just joined in 2 months. Honestly, I'm here cause my parents want me. They can't make me want this job. I was doing well in the 3d artist track, I was poor but well, less stressed and still hopeful of my future. Personally,

Gurps Mysteries

A really great GM book . If there was Game Mastering for Dummies (not just for DnD or GURPS ), Gurps Mysteries is the next level of Advanced Game Mastering. This is where the players grow up a little, they are not as interested in Hack and Slash anymore and they begin to lean on a more cerebral challenge. One of the best elements of this books is how to communicate clearly to your players through clues and hints in the game. Despite its focus on mystery, this books i great for any intrigue. Eventually mastering these technqies, format, and story telling will allow for games to have a very clear and sophisticated finish. An art onto itself, and not just a game. Of course the most important element is having fun. Fun is when you and the players are on the same page no matter what you throw at them to challenge their characters and give them a chance to shine. Filled with too much information . I'm excited at what I learned about armor smithing in the early Renaissance and late

330mg of Caffeine will do the trick

Ok i got a grande brewed coffee and put 8-10 packets of brown sugar thats about 155 calories. This is twice the amount of Caffeine i get from my 2 shots of espresso in the morning with 4 teaspoons of brown sugar. How do i feel... Better! although my face is reeling from the bitter after taste of the coffee. good coffee is really sour going down and really bitter after. The intense sugar tends to make the sourness taste fruity. Anyway, my is elevated and I'm a bit hyper but i am able to control that better these days. The tons of notebook and the emotional intelligence studies help. Particularly when i've broken down most of my peculiarities and the way I think. Heck, I think i can make an entire wiki based on how I'd react to certain things. It would be very revealing and transparent of me, and of course like the anything so vulnerable subject to abuse when falling in the wrong hands. I have to email, a friend back some airsoft details.
