Hi, I have a close to complete set of Nathaniel Branden's Lectures on Objectivism on LP (that's vinyl for those of you under, say, 35). What I have is the...
My $0.02: I just think it's sad that among adults; this topic (RIP Nathan Hawking) shouldn't even exist to the extent that it has. I mean this in the way that...
The venom spit on NH's coffin (I haven't read what people have said, but I can well imagine and believe it, from RE's description) is exactly why Objectivists...

I have considered quite seriously for some time a career in psychology, specifically as a practicing psychologist. Recently, I met a neuro-psychologist who...
Hello Christopher, 1. Most psychologists who practice psychotherapy do not earn a "comfortable" salary. This really depends on where you work. I have worked in...
Jenna, With us humans, it is always all about us. This is just another disturbing example. And this response is all about me, dammit! I'm the one disturbed,...
Christopher, Speaking from experience, Invest in a businesses instead. If you apply your talent in psychology to it, to your self 1st, your employees, your...
HI Paul, I would say the issue is that folks attach worth to the ideas they hold, neglecting the act of focusing itself. Both parts are important! Rand...

I love the way you express this, Paul. I can visualize myself, when I feel defensive about the way folks talk to me, telling myself: My ideas are lenses or...

Richard Feynman once said, "Don't make physics your personality. You've got to factor in the rest of life, too." Apt, for this topic. --J ... experienced as...
Jenna, I've noticed Feynman ranks high on your to-be-quoted list. My readings on physics have been motivated by my questions about the borderline between...
Ciro, I can understand that viewing one's ideas to be separate to one's ego can be an unusual twist of thought that is not the most intuitive. However, if such...
Paul-- For understanding of physics, I'd go for Feynman's lectures in physics. However, to understand physics, it's required to understand math. But if you can...
HI Ciro, I'm not Paul, but still I'll hazzard an answer to your question. Our identity could not be an idea, Ciro, because ideas come and go, but our...
Jenna, At some point, probably when the kids are grown and out of the house, I should go back and develop that mathematical potential I showed at one time. I...

For those who aren't aware, Barbara Branden recently delivered a speech, entitled "Objectivism and Rage" at the TAS 2006 Summer Seminar. I'm of the opinion...
RCR, I have been getting to know Barbara through her posts on OL since February. To borrow from NB in his less than finest moments, "There is more to [her]...
