1. American philosopher John Searle passed away. I recall Harry Binswanger writing that he was the academic philosopher whose thought was closest to Rand’s. Years ago I read Searle’s Mind, Language and Society and some parts reminded me of Objectivism.
2. The always outspoken Ayn Rand Institute Chairman of the Board Yaron Brook said recently that European countries, to assimilate Muslims, should be “required” to periodically run cartoons of Muhammad. He was asked if he would post such cartoons on his web site and said he would at the right time but didn’t know where he would place them.
3. Speaking of Brook, he said he was invited to and attended Leonard Peikoff’s 92-year birthday party. He said he talked to Peikoff but doesn’t know if he’s “patched it up” with Peikoff.
