This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand's book The Virtue of Selfishness, in particular the chapter "The Objectivist Ethics"

This focuses specifically on her discussion of what she terms "non-rational" ethics, by way of contrast to her own rational egoist or "objectivist ethics".  She examines what she calls the "mystic", "social", and "subjectivist" ethics, and criticizes what she views as the "false dichotomy of altruism".

Eva Vozárová: Screaming Air

This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th Century rational egoist philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand's book, The Virtue Of Selfishness. It focuses specifically upon her views about values and their grounding in Life (which for humans means a distinctively human life, not merely survival).

Я хочу что бы меня...

my invited talk at the first Stoicon-X Brasil online conference.  Due to technical issues, I provided a live presentation (translation provided by participants) to the conference.  In this presentation, I briefly present the Stoic doctrine of the indifferents (adiaphoria), namely that Stoics view many things as neither good nor bad, but are indifferent.  Some indifferents may be "preferred" or "rejected", which means that they have some positive or negative value, but not the sort of that makes us virtuous or vicious, happy or miserable.

The Stoics teach that we should not be entirely indifferent to the indifferents, for several important reasons.  The use (khresis or usus) of indifferents is not something indifferent, and as Epictetus tells us, is something we ought to be careful about.  The virtues, as Seneca and Cicero clarify, bear upon indifferents.

Конунг Рагнар

Славься конунг Рагнар!
Пусть воспоют тебя в сагах все скальды!
Твой небесный драккар,
Скоро причалит к воротам Асгарда! 
Сколь!!!
Куплет:
Ворон на стяге парит над  водой,
Волны бьют в борт и колышутся фалы,
Это дружина отправилась в бой,
Путь предстоит ей пройти и немалый!

Через моря и подводные скалы,
Нужно проплыть до заветного града,
Через шторма и девятые валы,
Ждёт там несметных сокровищ награда!
Припев:
Бейся, конунг Рагнар!
Путь твой проложен к чести и славе,
Твой священный драккар, 
Скоро достигнет царства Вальгаллы!
Сколь!!!
Куплет:
И сыновья здесь твои на борту,
Неуязвимый Бьорн и Ивар - злой гений, 
Вместе с тобой воплощают мечту,
Наследия рода через поколения!

Вы покорили Париж и Севилью, 
В вечности славу себе добывая,
До края земли добиралась флотилия,
Отчаянной дерзости дань пожиная!
Припев:
Смейся, конунг Рагнар!
Смерть ты презрел возвышаясь над нею,
Ворон твой - Одина дар,
Гордо над скальными фьордами реет!
Сколь!!!

Припев:
Славься, конунг Рагнар!
Через века твоё имя в народе,
Правь свой верный драккар,
Ждут на пиру тебя славные боги!
Сколь!!!

I’m in her guts like a demon in designer

She love the way I treat her like a secret then confide her

Love me off the drugs baby love me off the fake shit

Pop me a tab now I’m floatin she pourin my sins like a fuckin potion

she love when I’m numb off the walk she ride when my pulse get slow

She my favorite poison one hit and I’m faded

Tell me don’t leave while I’m lost in her essence

She scratch on my back like she tryna draw a message

Ye - Yeah love me in the dark baby love me when I’m reckless

Touch me like I’m yours even though we both helpless

She say I’m hers when the moon turn red

Then switch up quick when the sun hits the bed

Throw that shit back likes she tryna save me

She bite on my lip like she tryna leave a promise

Call me her obsession I call her my fuckin goddess

I’m numb but I feel her it’s twisted as hell

She caught in my spell I’m caught in her smell

She say I’m the reason she can’t sleep straight

Kiss me when I’m high love me when I’m dead inside

Hold me when the crash hits harder than the lies

Touch me when the whole world feel like it’s tryna divide 

She throw it back violent movin like she possessed

Hands in her hair while I’m makin a fuckin mess

Scream my name once then twice then less 

Cuz the neighbors know well how we fail every test

I’m in her guts like a demon in designer

She love the way I treat her like a secret then confide her

Love me off the drugs baby love me off the fake shit

Pop me a tab now I’m floatin she pourin my sins like a fuckin potion

she love when I’m numb off the walk she ride when my pulse get slow

She my favorite poison one hit and I’m faded

Tell me don’t leave while I’m lost in her essence

She scratch on my back like she tryna draw a message
