I love how he says the primary purpose of proof is for yourself, your own certainty, not to convince others. that right there tells me I'm in the right place.

The purpose of all knowledge, wisdom, and understanding is actionable certainty for whoever's doing the learning.

Its really interesting that after grasping certain basic things about objectivism and then thinking about things myself, I independently come to the same conclusions (although they are a bit less developed) as Peikoff and Rand.

This is an extremely important lecture.

Esto debería ser enseñado a lo largo de la escuela primaria.

Listening to Leonard Peikoff debunk erroneous metaphysical ideas feels like what I imagine LSD must feel like.

Awareness is the Only constant of All experience what could be more fundamental to reality than that?

Experience requires consciousness, and consciousness requires existence. Reality/Existence does not require either.

There is no duality. Reality by definition IS a tautology and can only be expressed gramatically as such i.e. awareness is known by awareness alone.

Experience isn’t fundamental to reality. Did you experience the creation of the universe?

Why do you make mistakes and why can’t we control the universe if awareness is reality like you’re saying

If existence exist as SOMETHING what is that something, and if existence exist as ALL THINGS what knows all things?

I guess as said in the video that the something is itself which is the sum of its attributes.

Existence is the primary. Without existence, there would be nothing to be conscious of. Knowing requires a conscious entity with percepts to observe existence. Consciousness can not be the primary because consciousness must be conscious of someTHING. When saying, "it is." The fact that the thing IS is undeniable. It IS something. But the "IT" requires an understanding of the traits and characteristics of the thing or its IDENTITY. So when saying "It is," you're not determining what IT is just the fact that it IS.

Awareness is known by awareness alone; is the sole irreducible axiom of reality. To put forth a syllable to the contrary is but to concede.
