Lawsuits, Lessons Learned

Posted on February 5, 2022March 25, 2022 by Carl Barney

I’m writing this to clarify my thinking about lawsuits, to identify the lessons I’ve learned, and for those who may be concerned/interested. My first forays into the legal system were wretched. I didn’t understand the process, I didn’t know what to do, and I lost as much as I won. In desperation, I started to…

Ending Relationships

Posted on February 5, 2022April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

A philosopher once told me that the way one ends a relationship says a lot about a person’s character. Yelling and screaming recriminations and walking out and slamming the door is damaging to the people involved. Unfortunately, such endings are common. So often, relationships end badly—sometimes with great loss, trauma, or even tragedy. There are…

Health and Longevity

Posted on January 18, 2022April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

I came across an enlightening article in The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, published by the Oxford University Press. I recommend reading the article, which opens: The term P4 medicine (predictive, preventative, personalized, participatory) was coined by Dr. Leroy Hood of the Institute for Systems Biology to demonstrate his framework to detect and prevent disease…

Two Inspiring, Uplifting Movies

Posted on January 11, 2022April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

I highly recommend a delightful new movie called King Richard. It’s the story of the father of two of the most famous tennis stars, Serena and Venus Williams. It’s a wonderful story (if you can overlook the tiresome, woke messages). The movie showcases exemplary, uplifting values, which I think everyone (Objectivists in particular) will enjoy….

To Live Long and Well

Posted on December 31, 2021April 14, 2022 by Carl Barney

I want my friends and family to live a long time, so that’s why I’m writing this. (Everything I write in this post is my opinion and isn’t meant to be taken as medical advice.) According to physicians I’ve come to trust, there are five main things that one needs to prioritize when it comes…

Ayn Rand Quotes I Love

Posted on December 14, 2021January 28, 2022 by Carl Barney

“Joy, exaltation, beauty, greatness, heroism, all the supreme, uplifting values of man’s existence on Earth, are the meaning of life.” This is from a letter Ayn Rand wrote in 1960. I love that quote, and it inspires me. I looked for five years to find the right artwork, photographs, or graphics to create posters of…

In association with the Adam Smith Institute, I have proudly sponsored the Ayn Rand Special Lecture for the last seven years. The Lecture in London on November 23rd was a grand and successful event, held in a spectacular hall with a great audience. Afterward, Eamonn Butler, a Founder of the Adam Smith Institute, sent me…

Honor and Dishonor

Posted on October 17, 2021January 28, 2022 by Carl Barney

Judges are guardians of the rule of law. They are a bulwark against tyranny and injustice, and consequently, against social collapse. Judges are granted the honorific, “The Honorable Judge.” Being appointed to a judgeship is a sacred honor. When a judge dishonors his position of honor, it is an egregious betrayal of trust. Judge Ross…

Students’ Tragedy

Posted on October 6, 2021January 28, 2022 by Carl Barney

A college abruptly closes, its former students out on the street—literally, in some cases. This may sound like a sad story, but let me assure you that it’s more than sad—it’s truly a tragedy. Most students are not safe and secure in good jobs. They are living paycheck to paycheck, struggling to make ends meet….
