We should take the approach that people are using poison because they're desperate, because they see no other alternative.” – Andrew Stein Andrew Stein is a wildlife ecologist who spent the past 25 years studying human carnivore conflict from African wild dogs and lions in Kenya and Botswana to leopards and hyenas in Namibia. His work has long focused on finding ways for people and predators to coexist. He is the founder of CLAWS , an organization based in Botswana that's working at the intersection of cutting-edge wildlife research and community driven conservation.

Objectivism is Ayn Rand's philosophy that she claims can be derived from Aristotle's basic axioms of logic, specifically, from the idea that A=A--that existence is identity. Reason, purpose, and self-esteem are paramount, and the meaning of life is to be happy through rational self-interest.

Is the non-aggression principle wise or naive? Can the idea that those who initiate force are always in the wrong be the foundation for all ethics? Plus, a Washington Post article by Jennifer Burns proclaims Ayn Rand's ideas dead.
