Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Is-Ought For Hard Choices I found this talk by Ruth Chang to be brilliant, even though it flies in the face of Rand's notion about the commensurability of values (with which I mostly agree). I have a feeling Rand's view and Chang's view are a lot more connected under the surface than appears at first blush. Frankly, I'm going to have to think about it some and watch this a few more times... Enjoy... Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jts Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 In 2008 Boris Spassky (world chess champion 1969 - 1972) had an interview and press conference with Susan Polgar where journalists asked him questions. One question was a young aspiring chess player wants to know whether he should devote his life to chess. How can he know whether he has the talent to succeed? Maybe it would be a wasted life and he should do something else. Spassky pointed up and said something about 'Commandant'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
