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
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
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…
The Ayn Rand Center Israel’s Growing Influence
A brief note to readers: Many of the links in this post lead to pages that are written in Hebrew. If you’re not fluent, please make use of your browser’s auto-translate function. The Ayn Rand Center Israel (ARCI) is promoting Ayn Rand and advancing Objectivism in Israel in many ways, and it’s having an impact….
Ayn Rand Quotes I Love
“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…
The Ayn Rand Special Lecture
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
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
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….
An Ayn Rand Scholarship Foundation Update
Thank you for the many responses to the proposal for an Ayn Rand Scholarship program. We will be expanding the program to include fellowships. I have received exciting and substantial responses to the proposal from individuals and organizations. Discussions are continuing. The next steps are: Establish a system to search for the brightest and best…
A Bittersweet Legal Victory
The Colorado Court of Appeals threw out Judge Ross Buchanan’s opinion against CollegeAmerica and, in an unprecedented action, removed him from the case. See the press release here. There is a political campaign (which began with the Obama administration) to cripple and close private for-profit career colleges and universities. With coordinated attacks originating from Senators…
