Like wow, man, synchronicity

Today I saw an interview on Turkish TV with film director Sinan Çetin, who is starting a publishing company. The interviewer asked him if there were any books that had changed his life. He handed her a copy of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead, thus dropping considerably in my estimation.

Then I went into LJ and found a post in philosophy claiming that utilitarianism was a form of objectivism.

Finally I turned on the TV to find they were showing The Passion of Ayn Rand.

Is this an evil objectivist conspiracy?

Wait, do you two know each other? How is it that you're both on my friends list? I'm confused.

And yes, we've been having secret meetings for the past several months to determine how to insinuate ourselves into everyday life in Turkey. Oddly, Ayn Rand left specific instructions regarding this with Leonard Piekoff before she died, and it's taken this long to be able to fully carry out her wishes.

Don't you subscribe to the 'pragmatic priciple' ?

Wittengenstein said ; "meaning=use"
The pragmatist says ; "thruth=usefulness"
Sinatra said : "do be do be do" etc.
