Often, how we teach or explain something is overlooked, especially when what we want to teach is foremost on our minds. Without the listener understanding the "why?" and the "how?", you're usually left with a "so what?" or a misunderstanding. (Read more...)

Repeating Peter Keating

I ran into none other than Peter Keating today. First I passed him walking south on Ninth Avenue, schmoozing someone on his cell phone. Then I noticed him sitting in a Chinese restaurant, using chopsticks rather than silverware so as to better assimilate to the restaurant's culture. When I arrived at work, the elevator doors opened to reveal eleven Peter Keatings, all of whom flashed a smile at me in the event that I was someone who might better their status. (Read more...)

Insurance by Remote Control
by Eric Rockwell

Last night I was examining some potential insurance plans, as I am self-employed and currently without coverage. I was unable to come to a conclusion as to whether I should commit to an outrageous monthly expense or just not bother with insurance at all. I began considering whether or not I should simply give up my own business in favor of working for a company that would take care of my insurance for me. Perplexed, I did what I usually do in such situations. I turned on the TV. (Read more...)

What Is Architecture?
by Peter Cresswell
Sanctions: 12Sanctions: 12Sanctions: 12 Sanction this ArticleEditMark as your favorite article
In their book What Art Is, Louis Torres and Michelle Marder Kamhi suggest that architecture is not art. Now, this long-awaited book from the editors of Aristos is certainly an important one - though nowhere near as important as they think it is, and nowhere near as important as Rand's own Romantic Manifesto on which their book is based - but unfortunately it is seriously flawed.
