My Introduction
Hello all,
I'm new here, so I thought I'd post a little about myself and get a feel for the forum and the people here.
The reason I chose to join TAS forum versus other Objectivist forums is because this forum seems to be on the side of Kelley in the great Peikoff-Kelley Objectivism split. I'm still hammering out my understanding of Objectivism, but it's fairly clear to me already that I'm going to ask too deep of questions to be satisfied by the expected Peikoff school response.
I've read most of Rand's books, so I am very familiar with what Objectivism is all about. Lately, I've gotten back into the game, regarding Objectivism, and my mindset is to be a tough skeptic, especially about the finer points of any discipline. I'm a math-engineer-scientist type by training, so I do demand a certain amount of robustness when it comes to basic definitions, much less what some might want to call an axiom. As you can perhaps already tell, I'm going to be a challenge and a challenger of Objectivism, but I hope the outcome is to strengthen rather than topple a philosophy which I feel can ultimately be more constructive than destructive if I can just get to the bottom line.
I look forward to some eye opening discussion regarding Objectivism. Feel free to say hi or give me an idea of what I can expect on this forum as opposed to other Objectivist forums.

Re: My Introduction
Thanks Greg.
I'll try to keep doing what I do.
I see there isn't too much traffic here currently, so I'll probably only pop in here once a week or so.
