I've started book 3.  I purchased my notebook, have the outline, and now I'm taking my notes.

The subject will be a take down of Ayn Rand.  The book will have 2 sections, the first a polemic against Rand's errors, and the second a take down of Atheism in general, with an emphasis on presenting arguments that non-philosophers will understand and can use to help them convert godless heathens.

The polemic will be from the Right.  It definitely will not be "Rand was Mean!!!", as she likely wasn't mean enough.  The argument will concentrate on contradictions and hidden assumptions embedded in her philosophy.  Aristotle and atheism don't mix.

This is going to take a year, or maybe longer.  I'm going to have to go through all of Atlas Shrugged and hand type the pertinent sections which contain the errors.

On top of that, I generally write in spurts, burn out my brain, and then enter a dark depression, which must be medicated with large quantities of nicotine, along with coffee and alcohol.  After the brain recovers, then I hit it again.

Anyhow I'm writing this to motivate me.  I've posted it, so now I'm obliged to deliver.

Alright James!
But A.R. Is really just a Libertarian icon; why the time and effort on her?
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

A couple of reasons. First I recently read Atlas Shrugged. I noticed more than ever the philosophical illiteracy, which pissed me off. Second, all of my books deal with attacks on the Faith which I don't think have been dealt with thoroughly enough. Finally, the book is really going to be against atheism, especially on the Right. Rand is a good starting point.

I bought your redpill book, it was excellent and I maybe should read it again as my new job has me making nice money but getting a bit fat. Need some motivation, just like you. (No haven't found that cutie who will cook me breakfast in high heels yet  ;D ). Anyhow, so this new book will be a must buy for me though I hafta say not really a fan of economics so I will likely never buy your finance book, but who knows.

Sidenote have you ever tried Stokers Natural? Pretty sweet dip especially for the price.

You may enjoy the EWTN program (Philosophers something is the title) which has a lively imagined discussion between Ayn Rand and Flannery O'Connor.

I like an IPA every now and then, but I have no problem admitting it:

When I hear "IPA", I don't think "man's man."  I think "man bun."
