Ayn Rand Institute Live!Living Objectively – Integrating Objectivity Into Your Every Day by Tara SmithObjectivity isn’t simply a tool for concept-formation or analyzing arguments. Objectivity affects how you treat your friends, how you do your work, how you set your goals. This lecture probes objectivity’s role in everyday living. It considers ways that objectivity (or its lack) manifests itself in a range of domains and ways in which well-intended people can easily fall into non-objective practices. The stakes? Being objective is vital for fully flourishing. This talk was recorded at OCON 2023 in Miami, Florida Talk copyright: Tara Smith
