    Extractions: Mogadishu May 2001 Atlantic Monthly In the absence of government bureaucracy and foreign aid, business is starting to boom by P eter M aass sponsored by: document.write(''); E-mail Article Printer Format T Telecom Somalia is the largest company in Mogadishu. It has 700 employees, and it offers some of the best and cheapest phone service in Africa. It also provides a clue to the possible resuscitation of the world's most famous failed state. In 1995, when the international community decided to wash its hands of Somalia and the last United Nations peacekeepers left the country, Mogadishu was a Hobbesian horror show. It remains a miserable and unstable place, a city where taxi drivers ruin their own vehicles, denting the body work and smashing the windows, so that thieves will not bother to steal them. But it is less dismal than it used to be, and better times may be on the way, owing to a new generation of businessmen who are determined to bring the lawless capital back to life. Mogadishu also has new radio and television stations (one night I watched the Somali equivalent of Larry King Live

    Extractions: Essays [Readers will notice some connection between this essay and my piece " A Requiem for Ayn Rand?" I recommend you read the other first. I anticipate, however, eventually merging the two.] Lately my thoughts have been evolving about the life and philosophy of Ayn Rand (1905-1982), the Russian-American novelist-philosopher. For decades I have been defending her importance as a philosopher, while simultaneously trying to understand what is wrong about the parts of her philosophy which seem mistaken. As a young Student of Objectivism (Rand's name for her loyal followers), I did not question the truth of her ideas until 1970, when she gave her infamous interview to Cosmopolitan magazine. In the Cosmopolitan interview Rand mentioned that she thought no woman should ever be president of the United States. She said that the natural psychological reaction of (right-thinking) women is to worship men, and that the psychological burden of having to command and direct men would therefore be crushing for a woman president. Well, even in the sexist context of the time that seemed a deeply odd line of thought.

In 1932 she sold her first screenplay, but soon turned to writing novels. Her novel The Fountainhead was published in 1943 and eventually became a bestseller. Still occasionally working as a screenwriter, Rand moved to New York City in 1951 and published Atlas Shrugged in 1957. Her novels espoused what came to be called Objectivism, a philosophy that champions capitalism and the preeminence of the individual.

    Extractions: Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia from 1682 to 1725, initiated the forced Westernization of his country.  After touring Europe in an attempt to gain first hand knowledge of the reasons for European military superiority, he paid Western experts to return to Russia to revamp its army and navy, he forced his courtiers to adopt Western style clothing and manners, and initiated far-reaching religious and civil reforms.  He initiated the Great Northern War (1700-1721) to achieve Baltic supremacy, and relocated the Russian capital to the new city of St. Petersburg once his objective had been reached.  When his plans to modernize Russia were threatened by his own son Alexei, Peter had him executed. For all this, Russia remained relatively isolated from Europe and its rulers aspired to the still greater trade and military advantages that would accrue by taking control of the Black Sea and the Hellespont.  Access to the Mediterranean, they believed, would catapult Russia to a new level of wealth and influence.  Only the decaying Muslim Ottoman Empire stood in the way.

    http://freedomkeys.com/ar-rootsofwar.htm
    
    Extractions: Just as [Woodrow] Wilson, a "liberal" reformer, led the United States into World War I "to make the world safe for democracy" so Franklin D. Roosevelt, another "liberal" reformer, led it into World War II, in the name of the "Four Freedoms." In both cases the "conservatives" and the big business interests were overwhelmingly opposed to war but were silenced. In the case of World War II they were smeared as "isolationists," "reactionaries," and "America-First'ers." World War I led, not to "democracy," but to the creation of three dictatorships: Soviet Russia, Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany. World War II led, not to "Four Freedoms," but to the surrender of one-third of the world's population into communist slavery. If peace were the goal of today's intellectuals, a failure of that magnitude and the evidence of unspeakable suffering on so large a scale would make them pause and check their statist premises. Instead, blind to everything but their hatred for capitalism, they are now asserting that "poverty breeds wars" (and justifying war by sympathizing with a "material greed" of that kind). But the question is: What breeds poverty?

    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar In the last ten years or so, a number of books have come out examining the role of intuition (i.e., unconscious thinking) in human cognition. These include Blink , by Malcolm Gladwell, Intuition: It's Powers and Perils , by David Myers, Strangers to Ourselves: Discovering the Adaptive Unconsious , by Timothy Wilson. Guy Claxton's Hare Brain, Tortoise Mind may very well be the best of the lot, mixing, as it does, shrewd analysis with detailed evidence. The general picture of unconscious thinking that emerges from Claxton's book is devastating to some of Rand's most critical epistemological and psychological pretensions. Orthodox Objectivism insists that the unconscious (or "subconscious") cannot originate any thoughts or motives on its own. "There is nothing in the subconscious besides what you acquired by conscious means." This view, in light of evidence provided by Claxton, is wildly implausible.
