Inside Objectivism

If you're an Objectivist you probably already know about Diana Hsieh's blog, NoodleFood. Regardless, I have to mention it here in case there's someone who has been missing the fascinating reading there these past few months. Diana has been relating some of the thinking that has led her to change her mind about which side was right in the big Peikoff/Kelley split of over a decade ago. Back then, Diana agreed with Kelley, and went on to become very involved with his organization. This February, however, she publicly disassociated herself from Kelley's Objectivist Center. Throughout her explanatory posts, in true Objectivist style (and substance), Diana demonstrates independent thinking and integrity that you have to admire. I certainly do and also highly recommend her blog to anyone interested in Objectivism.

(And if you had any doubts at all about a correct judgment of Nathaniel Branden, this post by Diana, who used to be his site's webmaster, will erase it.)
