Hi. I'm Daniel I'm from Washington D.C. but I'm in Madison WI right now. I used to post pretty heavily on a forum dedicated to Ayn Rand, but I lost interest with Rand a number of years ago and left that forum. I was looking for some place interesting to talk about various types of philosophy and came upon this forum. I read a few of the posts and the community seems pretty good if a little small, so I thought I'd make a profile and try it out.

Welcome iamdanthemanstan.... ya this site is small, it seems to be that way because there is not a lot of unthinking reactionaries in here. So there is a lot of good posts with out all the yimmer yammers filling the treads. I heard of and read about Ayn Rand for the first time last night. In the couple of weeks or so that I have been in this forum I have been introduced to many a good Philosophers I never heard of before. Look forward to your input.

"By a divine paradox, wherever there is one slave there are two. So in the wonderful reciprocities of being, we can never reach the higher levels until all our fellows ascend with us." - Edwin Markham

I'm currently reading The Romantic Manifesto. I find that Rand's ideas aren't exactly the best ideas to simply follow, but they are ideas that really get me thinking about things I would not think about much otherwise- which is most important to me in reading philosophy.

Welcome
