“The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.”
Leonardo da Vinci.
“Many years ago, the great British explorer George Mallory, who was to die on Mount Everest, was asked why did he want to climb it. He said, ‘Because it is there.’ Well, space is there, and we’re going to climb it, and the moon and the planets are there, and new hopes for knowledge and peace are there.”
JF Kennedy.
This book is your tool, inspired by the holistic example of Leonardo da Vinci, based on Aristotle’s philosophy and his intellectual descendants, especially Ayn Rand, for her contribution to objective epistemology.
From galaxies to stars, planets to mountains, trees to birds, fruits to ants, objective philosophy derives from things people agree are the same because they are perceived with the same sensory organs. These differ from what you perceive through imagination or experience as hallucinations under drugs. The first are objective. The second are subjective.
Objective truths are discovered through the scientific method. They come from observation instead of revelation, from critical thinking instead of fantasy, from logic instead of whim, from reason instead of propaganda.
This book gives you the answers to the questions of our game. They are tools of a global educational movement to perfect reason. They are designed to build a better rational world without nuclear bombs.

These are tools for eagles, free thinkers, those who dare to think above the henhouse. Here is the list of your tools:
These tools propel Homo sapiens, the man who knows, to Homo epistemologicus, the man who knows how he knows.
Part of this book is inspired by the book on objective philosophy Leonard Peikoff wrote. The fundamental ideas appear here as an introduction for a broader audience.
The author studied philosophy on his own, in parallel with his architectural career. He spent decades testing what works and what does not. The result is these tools.
This book guides you to run your own experiments and reach your own conclusions.
The first time, read the whole book quickly. It does not matter if you do not understand everything. Later, read it as a study book. Better still, debate the answers with friends while playing our game.
