"... Altruism declares that any action taken for the benefit of others is good, and any action taken for one's own benefit is evil. Thus the beneficiary of an action is the only criterion of moral value--and so long as that beneficiary is anybody other than oneself, anything goes."- Ayn Rand

This... is John Aglialoro Speaking

”I want to explain to you why you are the most important person in the Universe…. and if you don’t think so… then you’ll never really get anywhere worth going… “ - John Aglialoro Recently, Atlas Shrugged Movie Producer John Aglialoro was asked to give a speech to the Executive Forum Group of a local business. Always ready to further propagate the principles of Objectivism, he enthusiastically accepted. While those lucky enough to be in attendance got to experience John’s passionate and infectious delivery first hand, the Gulch did manage to score a copy of his spectacular speech, “The Virtue of You First… an Ethical Basis,” with all of John's personal hand written notes in tact.

Open Objectivism - The recognition that Objectivism is open to expansion, refinement, and revision. Objectivism is a body of rational knowledge rather than a fixed, closed set of doctrines like a religion. - Dr. David Kelley
