  • I've read several books in the Objectivists library, including Atlas shrugged, the fountainhead, and the virtue of selfishness.

    For a certain kind of person, I do think they have value in showing a different ethical/moral framework. To wit, if you have been raised on the principal that you must always sacrifice your own happiness for others, then Onjectivist philosophy is quite novel and can actually be helpful in moving towards a more self-actualized thought mode.

    For most others, however, it can turn you into a raging a-hole.

    Happened to be in the area of with masters track national going on at the same time. Never seen track racing before so checked it out. Rock Hill looked like a nice outdoor velodrome.

    Never seen team pursuit before but kudos to the Masters athletes putting in the pain purely for love of cycling, sport and competition. Cool to see. Some sick bikes on display also.

    Lucky I live to far away from a velodrome otherwise would probably be adding another couple of bikes + workouts into the mix!
