If only you were a young entrepreneurial Objectivist intellectual, oh wait - you are, except for maybe the young part. I would love to see you pull it off, but having been an Objectivist for 27 years I know just what you are talking about. In the immortal words of Rodney King, "Why can't we just all get along?"
To me, the most important idea you brought up was of a magazine. Being a big sports fan, I subscribe to ' The Athletic', which produces constant stories both short and long about the leagues and teams I follow. It is similar to the old 'Sports Illustrated' only far superior because the space they have to write in and the variety of subjects they can address is virtually infinite. Since I started reading it I have often wished for a similar 'magazine' devoted to my other great interest, which is philosophy - in particular Objectivist and/or Capitalist/Classical Liberal philosophy. If a collection of writers such as yourself were posting stories and editorials constantly I would probably spend more time reading it than I do 'The Athletic'. We just need some ambitious young entrepreneurial Objectivist to figure out how to make it work. Hint, hint to some of you aspiring young Objectivist intellectuals out there.
The biggest barrier to a pan-Objectivist magazine--and believe me, because I have run one--is getting everyone to agree to work together. But my goal with Symposium is eventually to build up to what is in effect a magazine on classical liberal philosophy.
