Is Silver A Rock-Solid Investment?

Let’s say the crack up boom finally appears. It would be wise to possess some junk silver coins or Silver Eagles. Precious metals can also do well during a deflation.

Do you get the point?  Currently, there’s nothing but investors’ subjective values to affect the price of Bitcoin; however, the price of silver is capped because of the addition of paper contracts, causing more funds to move in. You can imagine what’s going to happen when market bubbles burst. It will be up, up and away for silver…possibly creating shortages.

The Objectivist Demolishes the Mystical Way of Life

Last Friday I published “The Objectivist Chooses the Path of Mysticism. I must state that the article is not an endorsement of mysticism. It showed the dangers of the mystical way of life.

Obviously, the mystical way of life represents a complete evasion of reality. We don’t need to trade value for value. We will substitute a gift economy. I guess mystics remain oblivious to such concerns as economic calculation, accumulating capital and the scarcity of resources.

The Objectivist Chooses the Path of Mysticism

Here’s the reason I decided to choose the path of mysticism.

Much to my surprise the path to the left has these words on a wooden board attached to a wooden post…Mysticism. The one the right says…Individualism. It occurs to me that I can choose the Path of Mysticism. I can obtain first-hand knowledge...

New Age Denial of Evil and Reality

New Agers of my acquaintance consider it a combination of Christianity and Eastern Philosophy. Take the best of each, eliminate the undesirable aspects and create an inevitable spiritual movement.

Dogmatic Marxism predicts the ultimate coming of pure socialism once all the capitalistic forces play out. The New Age movement believes the “Age of Aquarius” guarantees the consciousness of men and women rising to a heightened spiritual awareness. As you can see both systems smack of mysticism. Intuitive forces will overpower reason. We will experience a harmonious existence of oneness.

The Objectivist Exposes Myths About Greed

They need to ask themselves these questions: When a person displays greed in his interactions with others is this an unquestionably bad trait? Does greed always have undesirable social consequences?

Basically, there are two methods to acquire wealth.

By productive effort. An individual or organization trades value for value.

By theft, fraud, violence against others, etc. An individual or organization extorts values from others.

Love of Rational Selfishness and Capitalism

Do you know that certain conditions must exist before the majority of people are able to feel the sublime experience of a real love? Currently these conditions are lacking due to a misguided faith in altruism and the destructive social systems of socialism and government interventionism.

You may be wondering how it’s possible for us to feel any love towards fellow human beings…when so many seem to be caught up in a whirlwind of evil doings, while others apathetically put up with it. Ayn Rand stated“Evil requires the sanction of the victim.”

Government Ought to Do Something Illusion

The belief that the “Government ought to do something” is not only an illusion, but qualifies as delusional thinking.

Government is not some real life Santa Claus that dispenses gift upon its citizens, despite the fact that altruists and intellectuals claim otherwise. It may seem government performs magical feats, but this is an illusion of limited consciousness.

Tyranny – The Stuff and Nonsense of Government

When you possess the ability to hold the government tyranny gun against the heads of innocent men and women…you have the power to destroy lives.

Objectivists and other individualists fight a fierce battle against altruists, irrational people and members of the Elite. Our dedication to reason and laissez faire capitalism fuels our desires to permanently eradicate government tyranny.

Capitalism vs Socialism and Interventionism

Now let’s discover which social system is an open system that best meets the needs of its men and women.

We must determine which of these manifests as an open system…and reigns as the most effective one for individuals to achieve their dreams and desires.

Books About Contact Christian Objectivism: Possibility or Contradiction

It’s always nice when Objectivism attracts men and women to its marvelous philosophy of life. However, we must ask: “Is Christian Objectivism a possibility or a contradiction?” Let’s find out.

If you’re a Christian…Jesus Christ soars as the savior. Objectivism has Ayn Rand…or maybe John Galt to lead the way, although I’m sure the term “savior” isn’t appropriate. Makes me wonder though. Do some Objectivists worship Ayn Rand?

Federal Reserve System’s War on Honest Money

You may not know it, but the Fed’s currency manipulation schemes threaten to bring down the international house of monetary cards.

Well, the Fed is in a bind. Its modest increases in the interest rate threaten to bring the economic house of cards down. In addition, this puts pressure on the currencies of other nations.

Alan Greenspan – Traitor to Objectivism?

He understood that monetary inflation causes bad investments in certain segments of the economy. Yet, he did his “job” with a passion. Up – down, in – out, boom – bust.

Can we conclude Greenspan showed no loyalty to his convictions and values…or maybe the power of his position gave him economic amnesia. If that’s the case, let’s write him a letter explaining the error of his ways.

Journey to Objectivism, Reason and Human Action

The Individualist understands how it felt to be bored to tears and to eventually rebel against the establishment’s indoctrination. He skipped school anytime he could. When he showed up at school, he considered it “the hole” and the ride home on the bus “parole.”

Rand’s philosophy of Objectivism is a logical, well thought out system for understanding reality. Her books will place you firmly on the path to enlightenment.

Objectivist Philosophy and the Illusion of Existence

Objectivist Philosophy recognizes three axiomatic concepts: Existence, Identity, Consciousness. These are real and fundamental…although some “intellectuals” and mystics attempt to deny them. Can you see imagine a being minus the axiomatic concepts trying to visualize non-existence, non-identity and non-consciousness. It’s absurd.

Objectivist Philosophy states that reason is the only means for man to gain knowledge. Now we can’t deny—that without reason men and women would be no better off than savages—in fact, they would exist in a lower state than the savage would.

Death of Objectivism and “Heartless” Ayn Rand?

It’s been 35 years since hundreds of mourners filed by her coffin (fittingly accompanied by a dollar-sign-shaped flower arrangement), but it has been only four months since she truly died as a force in American politics.” Does that indicate the death of Objectivism?

If Objectivism is on its death bed, its advocates are partly to blame. Some of their methods of promoting this marvelous philosophy of reason, logic and individual rights alienates people.

The Altruist Demands Your Sacrifice

The Altruist Demands Your Sacrifice is dedicated to the memory of Ayn Rand…February 2, 1905 to March 6, 1982…who courageously fought the anti-life philosophy of altruism.

Let’s expose altruism for the lie it is.

The altruist pretends he possesses a deep love for humanity…claiming to be its benevolent benefactor. He’s more like a malevolent dictator since he supports the anti-life social systems of socialism and government interventionism.

Capitalism – Social System of Rational Selfishness

Think and acting from rational selfishness means you endorse laissez faire capitalism.

Objectivism and praxeology (economics) proves beyond any reasonable doubt…laissez faire capitalism is the only social system that can supply men and women the material and spiritual values that make life worthwhile. All other social systems thwart the individual’s efforts to achieve his goals and desires.
