I have been called a lot of things ... but SPAMMER ? --- REALLY ?

If AI had meaningfully been around in Rand's heyday, I'm sure she would have embraced it...

In your petrified thinking, you righteously have debased the foremost Ojectivist vanguard -- namely, CHANGE WITH THE TIMES !!

Yes, a spammer usually comes to a messageboard to advertise something that has nothing much to do with purpose of the board. This board is here to discuss Objectivism, Ayn Rand's philosophy. What you are selling is not really related to that. Instead, you use the term but talk about AI and behaviorism, not even comparing or contrasting it with Ayn Rand's philosophy. You imply things like the formost Objectivist vanguard is to change with the times. This is not the case and shows your ignorance of this philosophy. Objectivism is concerned with enduring truths which don't change with the times. Humans are still humans, regardless of the times. That which promotes and protects their flourishing survival and that which threatens and desroys it is generally the same. So, that which is good or evil is generally unchanging. Natural rights are unchanging conditions for the flourishing survival of humans in groups.

I think there is room for change, and I have criticized Rand's Objectivism and presented an alternative. However, I am comparing and contrasting my philosophy with Rand's Objectivism. I am familiar with it and try to present it accurately prior to refuting it and offering my own philosophy, NickOtani'sNeo-Objectivism, a combination of Objectivism and Existentialism..

You do not even refer to any actual Objectivist tenent. You call your philosophy Objectivist, but you talk about AI and behaviorism. You mention things like traditional philosophy, but you don't demonstrate much knowledge about it.

Many spammers will post a few times and then leave, not interacting with the regulars on the board. You are at least returning to interact with me. However, I'd like you to respond to my concerns about your familiarity with Objectivist literature, not just philosophy you consider to be objective because it is scientific. What do you know about the Objectivism of Rand, Peikoff, and Kelley? Then, compare and contrast your views with it. Can you do that?

bis bald,

Nick

Perhaps I misjudged you, Nick
.
Your NEO - Objectivism sounds interesting, as I have always been a fan of Existentialism. Does this have anything to do with The Matrrix ?? (Jus' kiiddin') ^_^
.
Do you have a blurb or website on Neo-O ?

You can find my website and messageboard simply by typing my name, NickOtani, into any of the major search engines.

I'd still like you to respond to my previous post. What do you know about the Objectivism to which this board is devoted, and how does your philosophy compare and contrast with it?

bis bald,

Nick

I am willing to bet that this "article" was actually generated semirandomly by a computer. How does it feel to be arguing against computer intelligence with a computer?
