Not e...@Steven: <i>They cannot give it to Yaron Brook!<br />Not even objectivists deserve this utterly charmless man to lead the 'offical' movement. No doubt he knows his onions but a leader needs charisma and winning personality too.</i><br /><br />I hate to break it to you, but among the plausible contenders, Yaron Brook rates pretty darned high on charisma. Make of that what you will.<br /><br /><i>Will the succession or handover ot power be like North Korea, where there is only one candidate and everyone votes "yes" for them?</i><br /><br />My prediction is that when Peikoff dies, Brook will just remain right where he is. The ARI Board is actualy quite the contentious lot (outsiders would not guess the internal divisions), and Brook may be the only person on earth who can manage to get along with all of them over an extended period of time. They will keep him as long as he continues to be successful at fundraising, profile-raising, and mediation.Echo Chamber Escapeenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29196034.post-31621395155444125952013-12-04T13:18:55.977-08:002013-12-04T13:18:55.977-08:00They cannot give it to Yaron Brook!

No doubt he knows his onions but a leader needs charisma and winning personality too.<br />Will the succession or handover ot power be like North Korea, where there is only one candidate and everyone votes "yes" for them? <br />I suppose if there are multiple candidates we will see if there are truly no conflicts or interest among rational men and women. But I can't imagine objectivists make good losers, not when the stakes are this high. As anyone that goes for the job would have to be rationally convinced that they were up to it ergo anyone that says they aren't would be a heretic?<br /><br />P.S A great and timely series of articles.<br /><br />- Steven Johnston<br />UKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
