Please do take Ayn with a grain of salt, her sometimes harsh approach especially regarding the "selfish" concept, is merely a "marketing" device, albeit in her case an overused one. She is to be understood from the point of view where she believed in altruism, merely the dissemination of her works and the time invested is proof, but she said altruism is to be elicited by one's own free will, not a concept to be imposed. That, in all regards, remains true, and so many times imposed "good deeds" are in fact the devices of diabolical minds. Arbeit macht frei!
Personally I can tell you that altruism is an innate ability, and perhaps there will be a time to share scientific sources, for now if you are interested, you may dwell here and there. Usually a truly evil person is either on the range of psychopath, ignorant searching for easy "credit" or just "have had it rough" so many times that little demons are bound to manifest.
Nevertheless, Ayn has her place well in a post entitled "Black and White", and her objectivism should be taken seriously, even if complementary to the view that as individuals with limited lives, we are bound to mistakes by the veils of truth.
Let's recap:
We've had some documentaries, about how we see the world, including about the brain, history and natural habitat,
I've shared the joy and challenge of the never ceases to amaze me games, the independent ones
we've listened and had a glimpse at some veins of both true and imaginary stories, always having some good books and movies to complement the journey.
Also, don't forget to check from time to time Phase 1, I've just uploaded the latest versions. That way you'll have plenty of time to enjoy other stories and sources. If you have a request regarding the sources, don't hesitate, but be advised it may take a week to receive the reply.
