More From Isaac Newton

...there ... remains a huge following [of ayn rand's philosophy] of those who ignore the indiscretions, infidelities, and moral inconsistencies of the founder and focus instead on the positive aspects of her philosophy. there is much in it to admire, if you do not have to accept the whole package... criticism of the founder or followers of a philosophy does not, by itself, constitute a negation of any part of the philosophy... criticism of part of a philosophy does not gainsay the whole.

I see i have made myself a slave to philosophy, but if i get free of mr. linus's business i will resolutely bid adew to it eternally, excepting for what i do for my private satisfaction or leave to come out after me. for i see a man must either resolve to put out nothing new or to become a slave to defend it.

When one begins to reflect on philosophy—then philosophy seems to us to be everything, like god, and love. it is a mystical, highly potent, penetrating idea—which ceaselessly drives us inward in all directions. the decision to do philosophy—to seek philosophy is the act of self-liberation—the thrust toward ourselves.

Ever since men became capable of free speculation, their actions, in innumerable important respects, have depended upon their theories as to the world and human life, as to what is good and what is evil. this is true in the present day as at any former time. to understand an age or a nation, we must understand its philosophy, and to understand its philosophy we must ourselves be in some degree philosophers. there is here a reciprocal causation: the circumstances of men s lives do much to determine their philosophy, but, conversely, their philosophy does much to determine their circumstances.

E have men sold to build churches, women sold to support the gospel, and babes sold to purchase bibles for the poor heathen, all for the glory of god and the good of souls. the slave auctioneer's bell and the church-going bell chime in with each other, and the bitter cries of the heart-broken slave are drowned in the religious shouts of his pious master. revivals of religion and revivals in the slave trade go hand in hand.

All you have to do is go back to slavery - days, and there were two types of slaves, the house slave and the field slave. the house slave was the one who believed in the master, who had confidence in the master and usually was very friendly with the master. and usually he was also used by the master to try and keep the other slaves pacified.

So, eventually, he made one final arrangement with himself, which he has religiously held to ever since, and that was to count each fish that he caught as ten, and to assume ten to begin with. for example, if he did not catch any fish at all, then he said he had caught ten fish - you could never catch less than ten fish by his system; that was the foundation of it. then, if by any chance he really did catch one fish, he called it twenty, while two fish would count thirty, three forty, and so on.

We didn't have television until i was about eight years old, so it was either the movies or radio. a lot of radio drama. that was our television, you know. we had to use our imagination. so it was really those two things, and the comics, that i immersed myself in as a child.
