RoR: Forum

Given some of the pronounced hostility between Objectivists and Libertarians, I wanted to post this poll to measure actual sentiments.

Same principle as with listing in atheist organizations. Many atheists or libertarians aren't Objectivist - but we might be able to get some who are looking for solid philosophical basis interested in it.

Advertising everywhere would be beneficial, no?

Would the voters for "Detrimental" care to elaborate?

Given the resources, I'd advertise in The Village Voice and in the Christian Science Monitor. Some people actually read widely and even read - shudder - opposing viewpoints. The only question is one of limited resources.

Yes, except for advertising under NAMBLA, PETA or the ACLU (or any obviously anti-reason/self/freedom banner) how could any publicity hurt? The real question is one of resources and target audiences. The principle in advertising is, ceteris paribus, larger audience=larger response. Those who are either uninterested or those who find "sanctioning" "non-orthodox" groups by merely advertising, when there is some overlap, will select themselves out.

A good marketer doesn't winnow before he sows.

I found Rand through the rock-band Rush, for gosh sakes.

And if Caress of Steel is my favorite album, does that mean I have a malevolent sense of life?

I think I'm going bald!
