We are not born tabula rasa.
There is a list of “logical fallacies” that I see published every now and then. The exact list of fallacies seems to change with every such list, but it usually lists 10-15 things that are deemed “logical fallacies” that automatically make a person wrong. And I propose this is nothing but an attempt at thought …

Objectivists absolutely reel when I say this, but Ayn Rand did not support the use of guns for the purpose of self-defense. They insist it isn’t true, that her stance was vague, or that my assertion is poorly researched. I assure you: it’s true. To make my point, I’ll have to quote Rand and re-quote …

Social media is filled with random psychological advice, blasted from one random account out to the entire world, who they are attempting to heal. This is, first of all, a gross violation of ethics. You can’t give psychological advice to someone you haven’t diagnosed formally, or, in this case, have never even met! But, you …

I take a deep interest in how to fight off abusive, predatory behavior. I have read a lot and I am aware that society’s current ideas on abuse are wildly errant, creating a system where most accept a certain slavery mindset. I’ll give an example. It’s common to hear “hurt people hurt.” This phrase is …
I have a theory about archetypes that fits perfectly well with the thesis of this book, and I want to make sure to share it. It is this: the powerful want to control archetypes. There are two basic archetypes for any living being: ones that tell us what type of person or thing we should …
Objectivism is by far not the only system that has moral bias in it. But, it is a great system to unpackage in order to explain the idea. Objectivism is as “drive your stake in the ground and fight until you get what you want” as it gets. Objectivism is basically moral bias defined. Rand …
Moral bias is when a moral ideal shines so bright in one’s mind that it clouds their objectivity. I developed this idea after noticing it when doing my child development work. I study the age-related “stages” children go through. It is those notorious times when children “act up” at age-related times, but on the other …
This is a continuation of the Preface to The Moral Bias of Objectivism. This is the challenge in bullets and then the challenge at a glance. The Challenge in Bullets The Challenge at a Glance The Challenge in Bullets We are not born tabula rasa. Rand’s definition of “reason” is overreaching and means “the mind …

The Structure of The Moral Bias of Objectivism This book is divided into four parts. In its counter arguments, it follows the structure of Rand’s …

I am presenting an idea in an upcoming book that I call moral bias. Moral bias is when a moral ideal seems to obvious, so worthwhile, so necessary, that all objectivity is lost. The path to success is so obvious and necessary that any sense goes right out the window. The damage done on the …
