July 6, 2004:
G. Stolyarov II pinpoints a logical fallacy, a subtle variation on the ad hominem argument, that is pervasive and even respectable in the modern culture.
June 20, 2004:
G. Stolyarov II introduces a new symbol to characterize the principles behind a successful rational movement for cultural reform. The New Renaissance Hat is to become TRA's new logo.
June 28, 2004:
Gather round, and Mr. Stolyarov shall teach you a new game, called �Michael Moore�s Mystery Message.� It is a fun game, really; you get to see a film, visit a colorful website, manage a few ironic laughs at someone who seeks to make you laugh at President Bush, and, at the end, receive a grand prize. What is this prize? That is a mystery to be unraveled, much like Michael Moore�s message. Are you ready?
June 16, 2004:
G. Stolyarov II explains how unconditional support for a non-fundamental viewpoint in an ideology can undermine one's consistency in applying the fundamentals of such an ideology. He demonstrates, as an example, how the abortion position peculiar to most Objectivists undermines the more fundamental Objectivist principle of egoism.
June 21, 2004:
Wolfgang Scheide has translated G. Stolyarov II's Objectivist Statement of Resolves into German. This is an immense contribution to the spread of Objectivist filosofy and is indicative of the increasing spread of the New Renaissance.
June 24, 2004:
Too often the mindset of the fanatic has been confused with that of the principled "extremist." G. Stolyarov II demonstrates that the two archetypes are in fact diametrical opposites, and warns of the grave threat of fanaticism within even the minds of some of those who claim to be championing the cause of reason and freedom.
June 26, 2004:
Reginald Firehammer reveals a key mistake that Ayn Rand, Leonard Peikoff, and David Kelley all overlooked within the Objectivist theory of perception. He offers an elegant solution to this error, which may well be the most profound fundamental development in filosofy in the past 25 years.
June 28, 2004:
Joe Trusnik uses his personal experience as an example of the tolerant attitude needed in order to spread the principles of Objectivism and convince sincere thinkers to adopt them.
June 20, 2004:
G. Stolyarov II reviews the 1901 work of an Italian sociologist who predicted the rise of socialism and the principles by which not only its ruling class, but all subsequent elites manage to rise to power. You can order the book here.
June 21, 2004:
Jonathan Rick exposes a renewed case against free trade by Paul Craig Roberts and Senator Charles Schumer as a mere rehash of old protectionist fallacies, and instead offers a viable defense of unhampered commerce.
July 6, 2004:
Dr. Gary M. Galles explains how government regulations influence Mexican companies to use their oldest and worst trucks at border crossings, and how American bureaucrats then use this fact to scapegoat the Mexican trucking industry and justify protectionism.
July 6, 2004:
The fenomenal success of the launch of SpaceShipOne, compared with the pitiful inefficiency of the government shuttle program, serves as further evidence of the need to privatize the space program, argues Dr. Robert Garmong.
July 11, 2004:
G. Stolyarov II suggests the creation of an additional check on the authority of the Legislative Branch to pass laws, especially those that intrude upon individual rights. The post-veto authority possesses the chance to repeal regulations from the (Anti)Progressive Era, the New Deal, and the Great Society, which threaten American freedoms to this day.
