Miracle Drug

Posted on May 15, 2023May 15, 2023 by Carl Barney

Two doctors and a nurse practitioner were reviewing the results of a routine examination and tests. They looked them over and said, “Mr. Barney, everything is normal. In fact, some of these results are impressive, quite a bit above normal. I think you’re in remarkably good health.” I smiled and nodded. They followed up with,…

Posted on May 7, 2023May 7, 2023 by Carl Barney

About 12 years ago, along with Boaz Arad, I founded and funded the Ayn Rand Center in Israel (ARCI)—and I have continued to participate and fund it during the last decade. Israel is now on the Objectivist map, and Boaz is encouraging and receiving contributions from others. To support ARCI, I founded, along with Boaz…

The Killing of CollegeAmerica and CEHE

Posted on April 21, 2023April 21, 2023 by Carl Barney

(This post follows my earlier post: “Persecution: Prosecutorial Abuse in Colorado.” It provides a lot more detail for those interested—those in the career college sector, and the former employees of CEHE.

Poisonous Gas in Our Homes

Posted on April 14, 2023April 14, 2023 by Carl Barney

The title above is intentionally provocative to counter the catastrophizing of gas stoves by politicians and the media, as well as the pending heavy hand of government force (i.e., banning them from our homes). According to a thoughtful article from Peter Attia, “Putting out the fire on the gas stove debate,” the problem is blown…

Living Long and Well

Posted on April 8, 2023April 8, 2023 by Carl Barney

How can we live longer? How can we live a flourishing and rewarding life? First, one has to want to live long and well. One needs to have a supporting, life-loving philosophy, which is Objectivism. Second, I believe one needs a psychological outlook that involves strong purposes and values, and the intention to live a…

Remarkable Medical Statistic

Posted on February 13, 2023September 21, 2023 by Carl Barney

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic examined 286 patient…

The Power of Sleep

Posted on February 9, 2023February 9, 2023 by Carl Barney

“In a study of more than 2,800 participants, those who slept less than five hours per night were twice as likely to develop dementia—and twice as likely to die—compared to those who slept six to eight hours per night.” (Emphasis added) From an article: Dementia Prevention in Clinical Practice, sourced to Robbins R.

Ayn Rand famously wrote: “Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision.” Such visionary men were often entrepreneurs who created massive wealth and benefits that we all enjoy. The mission of XPRIZE is to bring about “radical breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity”…

Pursuit of Pleasure vs. Pursuit of Happiness

Posted on January 26, 2023January 31, 2023 by Carl Barney

Pursuing pleasure is a lot of fun. 😊 Listening to music, reading novels, spending time with friends, romance, walking in the woods, playing with children, sports, hobbies, etc. Pursuing pleasure is what it’s all about, at least according to Aristippus (c. 435‒c.356 BCE) of Athens.
