Based on the Principles of Ayn Rand's Objectivism, this book is a cause-and-effect analysis concerning the future viability for human life on Earth. And it incorporates an action plan for peaceably cultivating that viability. It is also about what you are and how you live or die every day: bit by tiny bit.
Since the advent of primeval languages, our minds have been assaulted by ever-more, ever-various, and ever-evasive irrational ideas. And, on countless occasions throughout the ages, willfully chosen and enacted to their social conclusions, irrational ideas have caused vast destitution, destruction, and death.
Our primeval natures will always be with us. However, irrational ideas are just simplistic conceptual errors. They are just ideas that have become entangled with the persistent and pernicious primeval principle that: anything-goes!
We can radically overcome primeval anything-goes ideas by wisely employing our reasoning skills. And it is only by such wise reasoning that we will ever become able to consistently cultivate our life-enriching pursuits.
However, it is impossible to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth about such wise reasoning: in detail. Nevertheless, by well-formulated principles, we can profitably progress towards that unattainable ideal.
To be useful, to be stable, to be good, to be true, such well-formulated principles must subsume the broadest reasonably possible range of presently known facts and must be well-anchored within objective reality: by incisive rational-work.
Let there be light! And there is light, a human light: Reason. And, as we proceed by Objectivist Principles to further separate the light from the darkness, we will see that this light is good.
First Purpose: This book's first purpose was to well-order my mind, my knowledge factory and warehouse. I produced it by nearly six years' worth of rereads, rethinks, and rewrites, encapsulating a lifetime's worth of knowledge and experience. Into this book, each word has been patiently strong-armed, carefully wedged, the best of my mind well-absorbed.
Final Purpose: This book's final purpose is to communicate Objectivist Principles to you and to each other able individual on Earth. Its knowledge is tightly packed but packed in a pleasurable-to-read and easy-to-understand style. We each begin life destined to pluck the fruits of knowledge. And plucking the fruits of this book is a knowledge adventure that no able individual should ever forego!
Knowing is good (and fun!) Bite this apple!
