Ayn Rand valued Aristotle's philosophy and developed her own philosophy of reason called Objectivism. Aristotle's philosophy adhered to the logic of A 'is' A, but Alfred Korzybski took 'is' away. Frank R Wallace replaced it all with Neo-Tech Objectivism.

Frank R Wallace quoted Ayn Rand saying 'save me from the Radians'. Ayn Rand was her self repulsed by the cult-ish obsession coming from Objectivists at that time.
Imagine a share advertisement declaring, "A 100% guarantee: you will lose every single penny invested here!" And if you found millions of people investing all their life's savings in such a share, wouldn't you lament their misfortune and imprudence? But isn't this what almost all of us are doing? We are born with a death sentence written on our bodies.
The concept of destiny has fascinated humans since time immemorial. Is our success predestined? Or is it in our hands? Most modern thought has deemed that our endeavor alone determines our success. But with competition intensifying, changes accelerating and many unpredictable and uncontrollable factors determining results in today's complex world, many people are re-examining this belief.
As soon as we are born the learning process begins. First we learn to eat, talk, walk etc from our parents. Then we learn from our neighbors about certain social norms and the wider world outside our immediate home. Our school teachers then put the icing on the cake, by giving us knowledge of different subjects. As we progress up the academic ladder, we acquire more and more knowledge in a particular field.
Money, they say, is sweeter than honey! With money everything is at ones beck and call. Hence the inordinate desire of everyone in this material world to amass unlimited wealth, whether fair or foul. However, little consideration is given to the capacity of the body to enjoy so-called material pleasures. Man can only eat as much as his stomach can contain, even if he is the wealthiest man, and can afford the most delicious, sumptuous meal.
There exists considerable evidence from the field of psychiatry to indicate a definite relationship between the sex gland and the brain. Spermatozoa may have an internal function that is necessary for the normal metabolism of the brain, and dementia praecox (schizophrenia) may be due to an alteration of deficiency of their production due to degeneration of the seminiferous (pertaining to the formation of semen) tubules of auto-intoxication (due to having been poisoned).
Your well-being can affect your ability to live in abundance, because your well-being affects your ability to attract abundance in your life. If we want to live well, live wise, and live wealthy, we must pay close attention to our well-being.

Many people do not understand what is meant by the concept well-being or how to achieve it. And most people honestly do not feel that their well-being can affect their ability to prosper or attract abundance in their lives.
Many people relegate psychics and clairvoyants to an age long gone. The dark ages were full of magical and mystical explanations for both common place and unexplained phenomenon. What has changed that we no longer look for divine answers to mundane questions?

Simply put we now define our existence using the scientific method. The modern technocratic society we live in full of electronic gadgets and products that create their own need to exist has taken the divinity out of our lives.
The following is a compilation of inmate's quotes about their experience reading Bhagavad Gita As It Is and Srila Prabhupada's books.

The first I knew of Bhagavad Gita As It Is was from word of mouth and then from the quotes from books and magazines. When Bhakta Bill sent me a copy of Bhagavad Gita, I fell in love with the first chapter of the Bhagavad Gita.
Hiranyaksa means one who has his eyes always on gold. Many years ago when I first joined the movement I would feel a definite antipathy towards persons like Hiranyaksa. Now I feel quite different (hopefully I have not become a demon!).

When I read about Hiranyaksa and his ilk I feel sorry for how they are suffering due to their great desires and needs.
