Students for Liberty: A Perfect Audience for Ayn Rand’s Ideas

Posted on November 9, 2022November 9, 2022 by Carl Barney

Students for Liberty (SFL) is an international organization whose purpose is to educate young people about the nature and importance of liberty; to develop leaders who are willing and conceptually equipped to fight effectively for liberty; and to empower them by providing resources, networks, infrastructure, and general support for their activities.  Attendance at SFL’s events…

Feeling

Posted on October 30, 2022October 30, 2022 by Carl Barney

Here’s a quote from Ayn Rand that I enjoy and find personally beneficial. A perfect, clear understanding also means a feeling. It isn’t enough to realize a thing is true. The realization must be so clear that one feels this truth. For men act on feelings, not on thoughts. Every thought should be part of…

Health and Longevity

Posted on October 15, 2022October 15, 2022 by Carl Barney

(This post is for family and close friends—my trolls will find it distressing.) As I believe you know, I’m engaged in a longevity program: I have a plan to live until I’m 120. After a recent medical consult, I received a perfect score on my biometrics. (Not to say that my body is not having…

Quotations

Posted on October 10, 2022October 10, 2022 by Carl Barney

I come across loads of quotations and quotable items in my reading. I’ve decided to share the best, and only the best, with my friends. So to begin, here are two: “Keep ignoring feedback and life will keep teaching you the same lesson.” ―James Clear(Who do you know that needs to learn that lesson?) “How…

Attitudes and Motivation: Our Mindset Part I

Posted on October 4, 2022October 5, 2022 by Carl Barney

Attitudes are formed by thinking. All the attitudes we now have, we thought into being. We created them. All the attitudes we will have, we will think into being. We will create them. Each thought usually has an emotion attached to it such as joy (I am succeeding!), anger (life is unfair, I’ve been cheated),…

Integrity: Practicing Philosophy

Posted on September 22, 2022September 22, 2022 by Carl Barney

The philosophy that matters is not the philosophy we profess, but the philosophy we practice. (That’s a paraphrase of a quote by Francis Chan.) There are many who profess Objectivism but do not practice it well, or do not practice it at all—or even worse, they mis-practice it. I will write some more about this…

“Schisms” and ARI’s Need of a Dispute Resolution Process

Posted on September 19, 2022September 19, 2022 by Carl Barney

(This is intended for Objectivists; if you’re not an Objectivist, you’ll want to skip it.) I have been traveling, loving life, and in no rush to comment on Onkar Ghate’s March 5, 2022, article, “Of Schisms, Public and Private,” published to the world in “New Ideal.” (Commenting on it is perhaps unnecessary, but the fact…

Dr. Google: My Favorite Doctor

Posted on September 12, 2022September 12, 2022 by Carl Barney

I heartily recommend to you my favorite doctor, Dr. Google. One example: I recently had a full-body MRI as part of my longevity program. I was wondering what the MRI would or would not show and what I could learn from it. I had planned to ask the radiologist… but decided to go to my…

Boom Supersonic Overture Aircraft

Boom

Posted on August 19, 2022August 22, 2022 by Carl Barney

About seven years ago, I received a call from Blake Scholl—at whom I laughed and said, “You’re crazy.” He’s now getting the last laugh. At that time, he told me he was developing a supersonic airliner. I asked him where and he said that he was working on it in his basement/garage. I laughed at…
