(Objectivism is also not 'selfish' but that is an argument for another day..)

Rational self-interest

Good way to put it, I like to say it is the admission that altruism doesn’t exist and the honesty that you take actions for your own benefit, even if you freely choose to help someone else.

Maybe we also should be looking for Dominique Francon as well?

Agree with that as well.......women like those two are incredibly rare......

Careful, Wesley Mooch and Tinky Holloway are monitoring this thread and the rough draft of Directive 10-289 is nearing completion.

Add “Anthem” by Ayn Rand as #4 where candles will be considered ‘a revolutionary invention.’

> I had to buy my copy because our library has a waiting list

Dittos on that, I had my copy for about a month before my spot on the waiting list came up.

“Who is John Galt” was an internet meme before there was an internet.

"Screw John Galt - what the heck are “Augustinian and Pelagian antinomies.”? ;-)"

They are things referenced by people who have a deep seated, purile need to intimidate their readers by using obscure words and phrases.

(Like the sophist writer for Automobile magazine who described the exhaust note of a Viper as "Brobdingnagian.")

“...Still need to add Hope to my collection.”

And how!

In my mind, “HOPE” is the change WE can believe in.

Ah... the Martyns! need to reread all, it has been too long.

Cheers

That’s exactly what I was saying - thanks! (Except I would have said “puerile” - relax - I know it was just a typo. ;-)
