Note the zero so far for 'Objectivism.'  I have often wondered whether this category might be redundant given that everything on this site is already tied into Objectivism in some way.

Obviously, someone voted for Objectivism, which means that it might be of interest to someone, that this site is about Objectivism ;)

I voted for "all equally" because I think it is the essence of Solo that it is mind and heart, serious and funny, familiar and challenging, etc.
I almost said "sense-of-life" because that is the element most commonly missing from..., well, from almost everything these days. But what is a sense-of-life with no sense-of-mind? If you take out any of the components Solo would suffer.
I know as an individual I go through periods of time when I am filled with philosophy. Other times, it is music, politics, humor. Solo has the same flow. (And it has Joe and Linz just in case it overflows!)

Yeah, that's what I voted, too. I think it best describes the title of this homepage and its content: Sense of Life Objectivists.
All subjects are part of the greater value of Life and thus are equally important to us and the Sense of Life, even if interests might prioritize some of those issues. I think it is the synthesis that gives it a Sense of more than just politics.

I agree with James.  I would hate to see this site narrow down to just one or two subject areas.  Part of the appeal is that no matter what our mood we can find something that interests us here.

I think all equally is the only sensible answer.
That is because those who write articles must also choose the category themselves.
What category they choose is going to vary a lot - so you cannot say with 100% certainty that "sense of life" articles (for example) are going to all share a similar theme.

To be honest, I pay little attention to what category an article is in - I look at the title, the summary and the author - in that order.
