| | It would be great if people who went to summer Objectivist conferences -- whether ARI or TOC -- made some long posts about them, while the knowledge is still fresh and before it becomes lost.
There are many advantages to doing this. By communicating something, you solidify your own knowledge of it. By spreading the knowledge, you encourage others to attend, you advance Objectivism as an organized body of knowledge applicable in many areas. By sharing information with others, you encourage them to return the favor. By posting on substantive intellectual issues in philosophy, psychology, history, the arts, and their application to living a better life, you make this more than gossip and quarrels and negativity a more important focus for Objectivists and more central to any spread of Objectivism or Objectivist movement.
And by sharing, by putting down on paper, what values you gained, you make them more real to yourself and more lasting.
Both major summer conferences just ended a week ago, so *now* would be the best time to do this while it’s fresh. If one procrastinates on something like this (let me get caught up on work, on school), it will never happen.
