He is a businessman. Period. He wants to keep his fan base in tact. He has 10% success rate. If he has to survive, he must keep his fans engaged and he is using this age old tactic. People are always in the search of some body who tell them what to do. People are always attracted to the persons who teaches any thing that is not conventional. Its nothing more than that. I think we shouldn't even create threads such as these to discuss about his opinions. Thats what exactly he wants. He should direct his talents in making better movies. Integrity means doing it right when no one is looking |

Nisarga:If reality is dependent of consciousness there is not ground to argue from. your reality is yours mine is mine. game over.
Very true. That is exactly so called true individualism is a myth. There is no road ahead if subjective realities are assumed, per ur view point. Havind agreed on it, then comes the most important issue. What is the role of indv sense perception and its qualifying effects on perceived reality and the often cited faux-righteousness of indv moral codes per those sense perceptions.. My only point is that....arguing for total individualistic freedom as the only plausible way of morality (in her own words...rational self interest)....begs for the answer of the Q....How can we even deem that humans are rational first up......if answered in the affirmative, all group and indv actions need to be sanctioned with out an ounce of censure.... The only way as Kant and others professed was that there is a statistical reality that hold true for every epoch. A group of people will try to seek a manifest version of truth, per purely game theoretic reasons...i.e pure genetic sustenance or genetic up gradation through selection(preferred) of mates..... All the trash of rational minds is but a shadow of truth. We are purely a genetic representation of our times...so to speak...trying to comply with that not always out of complete harmony but often times out of acquiescence. |

All the philosophy and science as they stand today, I think, fall short when they have to explain as to why/how this self reference ( I/ego/consciousness what ever is is called loosely ) could be possible. Douglas Hofstadter's GEB and " I am a strange loop" gives good understanding o it. |

Der_schuler:reality exists independent of consciousness; that individual persons are in direct contact with this reality through sensory perception; that human beings can gain objective knowledge from perception through the process of concept formation and inductive and deductive logic. Any apparatus of self referential system, will immediately ask the question, if reality already exists independent of our existence then the very inductive and deductive logic that our sense organs need to use should be a part of that reality and hence needs some other perceptive structure to perceive them and so on ad-infinitum
If reality is dependent of consciousness there is not ground to argue from. your reality is yours mine is mine. game over. |

ayn rand emigrated to USA from USSR when she was an adult (must be around her 20s).. she saw communism and being a genius foresaw failure or drawbacks of it. Embraced capitalism and entrepreneurial spirit (I desist from saying individual because she looked for enterprise whether it is an individual or a group of individuals) and popularised it with her literature.. Ayn Rand books are great to read, you can be inspired and motivated to be an enterprising person.. Vivekananda preached and encourage true individualism in the context of humanity, patriotism etc.. we can have a great debate on such topics without having to mention people like rgv.. iam glad to see this disco happening atleast due to rgv's fingering. |

Der_schuler:Vivekananda, on the other hand though treated God is mother, was not a subscriber to idol worship......
Even though he was a true vedanthin, he never antagonized idol worship. Because vedantha recognizes idol worship as just another level of spiritual pursuit. Ramakrishna transformed from a pure tantric priest to a vedanthin in later years (courtesy of his guru Puri) and he initiated non-dualism in vivekananda. Der_schuler:Vivekananda just adored his guru......paramahamsa..
Vivekanada's adoration of his guru is far beyond "just" level. He several times declined even to talk about his guru just because of the fear that he might speak even the slightest blasphemy. He always proclaimed that his guru is a bigger soul than even Krishna, Buddha, Shankara. He was a true disciple. Integrity means doing it right when no one is looking |

Whyme: Swami Vivekananda philosophy veru aayana level veru... aayana mahanubhaavudu
I have read the complete works of Vivekananda...I did not even mention him in this thread neither did I mention RGV RGV rants ki anta value ivvatam waste ani eppudo decide ayyanu I am only discussing Roark - I see a lot of parallels in vedanta and Roark's thinking - and I find it interesting that Rand's philosophy could give birth to a character that is so close to the ideal state described in our own I agree Fountainhead is the best of the lot - my first Rand was Atlas Shrugged too..20 years ago 3 days lo night and day chadivanu  aa chal ke tujhe main leke chalu ik aise gagan ke tale jahan gam bhi na ho, aansoo bhi na ho,bas pyaar hi pyaar pale |

Ishan:Can you please elaborate teh above quoted sentence. How did tehy differ in practice of hinduism?
Ishan, paramahamsa was very much a tradiotionalist....he firmly believed in idol worship...infact he was a priest.... Vivekananda, on the other hand though treated God is mother, was not a subscriber to idol worship...... Both sternly believed that hinduism is a complete philosophy.....and firmly put vedanta..esp bhakthi vedanta on sound footing..... Vivekananda just adored his guru......paramahamsa....but differed with him on some issues AFAIK |

didn't you see an apparent flaw in this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! how is a man independent by virtue of his birth....???? Aren't we nurtured till a certain age by our parents!!!!! read NURTURED in a holistic sense. Not just satiation of hunger. How does the above defintion accomodate the assertion humans are rational beings??? |

Der_schuler:Can you define individualism??
Individualism regards manâevery manâas an independent, sovereign entity who possesses an inalienable right to his own life, a right derived from his nature as a rational being. Individualism holds that a civilized society, or any form of association, cooperation or peaceful coexistence among men, can be achieved only on the basis of the recognition of individual rightsâand that a group, as such, has no rights other than the individual rights of its members.
Der_schuler: Does individualism in a pure sense exist?? If so are human beings not prone to intellectual fine tuning during every phase of their life.
\ I dont know.. thats why i said in one of my posts Howard Roard is fictional char ani and he only exists in Rand's world.. |

Getafix:
The reason why she made it to popular culture solely was her total endorsement of the laissezfaire capitalism ( also called the austrian and chicago school of capitalism first expounded on a formal basis by Von mises).......there is no other plausible explanation for the fact that she is singularly adored in the popular cultures of US and UK and the rest of the so called advanced nations on the intellectual map completely trivialize her importance as a philosopher. India is an exception as we have been for the last 60 years still been SLAVES mentally with complete submission to west in terms of appraising intellectual standards per their metrics. The acceptance of egnlish as the official bearer of refinedness is a stand out measure of this malady. I agree with you in as much as she being a story writer. That is the end of her expertise. |

getafix garu, Can you define individualism?? Does individualism in a pure sense exist?? If so are human beings not prone to intellectual fine tuning during every phase of their life. Naaku telisi the axioms I stated are de facto for objectivist constructs. per your description, If I were to rape a woman that I deem is a proper fit to get married to, knowing the fact that she will never marry me through any other means. (shown in lot of indian movies during 70's)..... Can't I say that the act of raping was properly in sync with my rational self interest???? rational definitely coz, if she were to be forced to marry me and through the course of time, I were to act as a loving husband and beget what I deem to be better off springs...then my RATIONAL had been served...... afterall, what more rational than begetting a better off spring ??????? Doesn't so called narrow darwinism profess it??? |

Anand_n:Roark in your place would not have cared if he lost that job
Of course... but Anand_n:it is extremely difficult to do that especially if you have social/family responsibilities
May be that's why Rand made sure that Roark doesn't have any such responsibilities. But on second thought, if there are no responsibilities or problems, then it isn't a big deal to be a Roark. If you want to be a real Roark then you got to stand up even when you have such responsibilities. I don't know what i am talking... Happy Diwali to all... If god doesn't like the way I live, let him tell me, not you |

Mrhyderabad:Yeah.. i have said this sometime ago in another thread. I also tried to be a Roark and failed (lost my first job in 6 months...) and then society has told me that i am better off to be a Keating
Roark is not a rebel -You are right - he is someone with an extremely strong sense of self. Roark in your place would not have cared if he lost that job ... because his return is in doing what he did - {Bhagavad Gita gurtu vastundaa ?} But you are right - it is extremely difficult to do that especially if you have social/family responsibilities Mario_Puzo , The real freedom to be yourself comes with your detaching yourself from outside world - ani mana vedantam kuda cheptundi - Rand's characters fight for that freedom
Getafix:rand simply states individualism over collectivism.. He characters are absolute and represent a group of values in our society..climax lo she just states individualism is the way to go ani..
Baaga chepparu The big problem many people have with Rand is over her passionate defense of individualism over collectivism...she came from the extreme collectivism of communism and went to the other end of individualistic capitalism and free enterprise. Meritocracy is individualism, collectivism calls for quotas and allowances for the less-privileged... Most of us generally prefer something between extreme individualism and collectivism aa chal ke tujhe main leke chalu ik aise gagan ke tale jahan gam bhi na ho, aansoo bhi na ho,bas pyaar hi pyaar pale |

Yeah.. i have said this sometime ago in another thread. I also tried to be a Roark and failed (lost my first job in 6 months...) and then society has told me that i am better off to be a Keating One needs to have infinite self-confidence to be a Roark i guess.

Getafix:Fiction ani categorise chesi nennu emi chinna choopu chudatledu fountainhead book ni..
I did not mean to say you denigrated it
Getafix:"Roark's independence is constant and complete, at once psychological and ideological; it is an independence not just of actions and opinions but of the soul and the soul's "one thought." Roark, as he says in his final courtroom speech, just "do[es] not recognize anyone's right to one minute of [his] life." [686]"
And Kaivalya is the post-enlightenment state where you are complete in yourself with no remaining sense of duality - where your actions occur because they are the right thing to do at the moment, not because of the burden of the past nor with expectations of a future gain. The state of enlightened existence where no karma accrues anymore ...
Mrhyderabad:In my view, he can NOT exist in this world.
Yes he can and they do exist - you may not hear of them Roark is as feasible a karmayogi per our philosophy - what is the difference between the two?

Oriinality unna works ye elite anali inka vetni anakudadu ante all literarure works anni elite ane category loki raavu.. only scietific studies elite anipinchukuntai.. As for the points noted(axioms 1&2).. naku axiom 1 lo em cheppavo artham kaaledu kaani axiom 2 .. your argument is kind of skewed.

Roark, as he says in his final courtroom speech, just "do[es] not recognize anyone's right to one minute of [his] life." [686]" hope it does makes sense.. |

Getafix:
There is no point debating generic validity/acceptance of philosophy...it can oly be validated at an individual level based on your paradigm and understanding... The value of a book or author is in what the reader takes from it...It totally depends on the reader's perspective and interpretation...You give a book to 4 people and they will infer four different things from it ... So there are people who hate Rand , those like you who think its good fiction, those like Divi and me who are great fans of Fountainhead Howard Roark - he epitomises the state of Kaivalya to me

Getafix:And her works are definitely elite endhuku ante - some of her ideas were/are relevant to real world.
wud like to differ but understand ur stand in stating that her view points sell in this cruel world and they are riven with selfishness..... When I started out reading Ayn Rand in my first year UG, it was sheerly out of peer pressure....I came across these hordes of people who carried a fountainhead in their back pack and I was curious and drawn towards being in sync with the popular culture of elitism.....but 4 months into the reading...I started marvelling at how some one can even buy into a system of axioms which were so overtly wrong...(see my posts below with exceptions to that effect)... what troubles me is the sort of branding that you have just tried to putforth here....Elite is a big word associated with originality and fundamental effect revolutionizing a field of study.....none of which is even applicable in her case.... I agree, she had a great eye for marketing herself and brand herself.......but that doesn't change anything w.r.t the quality of her work |

Most philosphers agree to that.. William Grant ani okayana story of philosphy ani book raasadu.. he claimed Bhagavad Gita is mother of all philosophies ani..having said that i think the context here is - for an average reader it is not interest in philosphy that makes him/her read the book.. it is entertainment value which is important .. aa perspective lo chusthe Ayn Rand ranks among best and vivekananda, paramahamsa - veella works chala abstract untayi and doesnt give much value except for a serious reader with interest in philosophy. |

Mrhyderabad:Isn't everyone entitled his/her opinion about a book or person? As far as i could see, RGV didn't personally abuse Vivekananada or any other person in particular. If you don't like him or his views, THEN WHY DO YOU GUYS READ HIS BLOG?
In your last sentence you contradict the earlier two sentenses. If RGV is entitiled to have a opinion on Vivekananda without even reading his scripts, every others are entitled to form and express an opinion on RGV atleast after reading his blogs. He gives a damn for these opnions, ofcourse. I somehow liked the guys arrogance and sarcasm towards the people who like/hate him. Great entertaining blog I ever followed. You will love him or hate him. But cant ignore him. |

the bloody novelist doesn't even care to define what rationalism is and resorts to unbridled usage of the term...... Most of the punk junkies in US subscribe to objectivism cuz they find that complete lack of responsibility and a need for self refrain and discipline in her philosophy. Thankfully academia has not stooped to a level where they would accommodate a cheap and filthy philosophy in the hallowed precincts of schools. Mana desi gallu 99.9% read it cuz they want to be in Sync with popular culture and seldom have any intellectual maturity or worse even, readiness to ask fundamental questions regarding the suitability of self proclaimed philosophy to answer the fundamental ontological question that often times arise under standard frameworks. |

Axiom 2: the proper moral purpose of one's life is the pursuit of one's own happiness or rational self-interest; that the only social system consistent with this morality is full respect for individual rights, embodied in pure laissez faire capitalism This is a dead duck waiting for a trivial postmortem. If the sole motive of ones life is our own happiness (defined by our gross senses), then history and its use for us is completely trivialized. As an instance, Hitler can hark back from his grave and say that the mass murders of his time were with in complete harmony with his(and his follower's) notion of happiness and rational self interest and hence can't be held culpable of any heinous crime....hook line and sinker......... |

rand's philosophy has this glaring loop hole: Axiom1 of Objectivism : reality exists independent of consciousness; that individual persons are in direct contact with this reality through sensory perception; that human beings can gain objective knowledge from perception through the process of concept formation and inductive and deductive logic. Any apparatus of self referential system, will immediately ask the question, if reality already exists independent of our existence then the very inductive and deductive logic that our sense organs need to use should be a part of that reality and hence needs some other perceptive structure to perceive them and so on ad-infinitum. |

Methhanithodugu:
Swami Vivekananda, late in the year l895 wrote in a letter to an English friend, "Mr. Tesla thinks he can demonstrate mathematically that force and matter are reducible to potential energy. I am to go and see him next week to get this new mathematical demonstration. In that case the Vedantic cosmoloqy will be placed on the surest of foundations. I am working a good deal now upon the cosmology and eschatology of the Vedanta. I clearly see their perfect union with modern science, and the elucidation of the one will be followed by that of the other." (Complete Works, Vol. V, Fifth Edition, 1347, p. 77). |

irrespective of RGV, Ayn rand quals to even join the celebrated league of philosophers like vivekananda, plato etc is almost a far fetched proposition. She is afterall a bloody screen writer with no formal understanding of other faculties of rational science/thinking. On the contrary, vivekananda had tremendous knowledge of physics and hence was hailed all around the world as a complete philosopher by the stalwarts of physics like nikolas tesla..... what puny space does Ayn rand occupy in the realm of post modernist philosophy is known all around the academic world.... Most people (in India) read rand cuz its fashionable and some people use rand in this DB with no understanding of objectivism per se. Objectivism is a cheap imitation of platonism and materialism mixed together drawing (copying would be more appropriate) from Plato,Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and Spinoza There is nothing original abt objectivism only that she understood that if she can appeal to legitmacy of indiv morality and complete disenchantment to exisiting ethical codes, she can appeal to the beast in every human. She succeeded to the extent that she found her place in the urban punk philosophies in US. In europe she is considered far lesser than the C grade philosopher that she actually is |

Q: Your quotes sound similar to Swami Vivekananda. Did you go through his works? Ans: I have never read Indian philosophers as from whatever I heard of them almost all of them have taken off from a half fried understanding of the western philosophers. Their very attire like robes, headgear etc and titles like babas, swamis and yogis prove that. Just imagine Swami Ayn Rand and Baba Nietzsche. Our very own self proclaimed philosopher RGV. What an idiotic comment..... (Message edited by thelegend on October 16, 2009) |
