Well done, Ed.  Very clear.  I like the fact that you contrast Rand’s view with Hume and Leibniz.  And I thought the overall quality of the video was pretty decent.

 

It’s an excellent start.  Now if you could just take a few moments to expand your explanation to contrast Rand 's view with Kant, and James, and Dewey, and Descartes, and Hegel, and Derrida, and Wittgenstein, and Marx, and Quine, and Frege, and Rorty, and Hilbert, and Russell, and Tarski, and Whitehead, and…

 

Seriously—good job! It’s highly illuminating to read the various criticisms on You Tube.  We can use that input as more data to evaluate the work that needs to be done. The more emphasis Objectivists place on the rational part of rational self-interest, the better.
