Inside ARU: Philosophy and Work with Yaron Brook

[@robabiera733]

It's fascinating listening to Yaron talk about his own development. And it's all extemporaneous.

[@FranciscoChile]

Yes 😊

The generalist is the person who sees the wider context and can see what it is that needs to be integrated.

[@RogerFusselman]

I hear ya. If there's anything to add to that, it's this: seeing the wider context is going to require learning on a massive scale, and not just working a few principles into action. It still has to be inductive, for you to integrate across a wide scale, so details and facts of a weighty nature are still needed for the process. That would include book learning, yes, but also observation and personal experience in areas that foster a greater ability to generalize. It may also require seeing seeing some specialties metaphorically in a way that applies outside that specialty. If you achieve most of the above, you probably would make a good generalist.

I'll have to watch this video again and take notes. It addresses so many of the mistakes I've made and a few I'm still making.

Non-intellectial Objectivists can comment, within the limit of their knowledge, in online blogs and in print media letters to-the-editors.

If philosophy is easy, then why are there only two top philosophers, Aristotle and Rand?

Are you good at schmoozing?

OFF TOPIC: Bio ethicist KIRA PEIKOFF mentioned anti cancer properties of chemicals in TURMERIC. I like what the chemicals in RED WINE do. Seriously. Also, another film that might be interesting after barbie & Oppenheimer is NAPOLEON BONAPARTE with Rivers. Should be sad though as Bonaparte the freedom fighter became a tyrant

If the person is rich, then work is option. In that situation, job is not important.

[@kphaxx]

Yet builders that have plenty still build.

[@RogerFusselman]

The issue is career, not work. Happiness isn't a golden parachute on a cruise somewhere. It's about the accomplishments -- that's where self-worth emerges. And the money itself is the result of those who took accomplishment seriously.

[@science212]

Career is option, if the person is rich. We can spend the time with culture and fun. @@RogerFusselman

[@TeaParty1776]

Reason, purpose and self-esteem are the basic values for mans life. Money does not change this. Man is a mind/body unity, not a body w/only physical needs.

[@TeaParty1776]

OK, youre rich. You awaken late. Your maid prepares breakfast. You have the rest of the day being rich. Now what?
