Objectivism extended Aristotle's philosophy of A 'is' A, but Alfred Korzybski took 'is' away.
And Frank R Wallace replaced it all with Neo-Tech Objectivism, which I labelled as Pragmobjectivism.
Similarities between Neo-Tech and Objecticism
Both Neo-Tech and Objectivism posit the primacy of existence to consciousness. In easier language that simply means that reality exists 'before' consciousness has a place to exist. Platonic mysticism and Kant would argue that consciousness is primary, that reality is seated within this thing we call consciousness. Both Neo-Tech and Objecticism strongly disagree.
Difference between Neo-Tech and Objectivism
Objectivism used 5 classifications of philosophy. Here they are with Objectivism keyword for each category in the brackets.
I'm going to call them Objectivism Metaphysics (reality), Objectivism Epistemology (knowledge), Objectivism Politics (capitalism), Objecticism Aesthetics (never defined), and Objectivism Ethics (selfishness).
Neo-Tech's definitions for Neo-Tech Metaphysics (business), Neo-Tech Epistemology (Neo-Think), Neo-Tech Politics (), Neo-Tech Ethics (), and Neo-Tech Aesthetics (value reflection).
Neo-Tech broadens the reach of Objectivism, both philosophically, and commercially.
