TOS’s sister organization, Objective Standard Institute (OSI) has had a wonderfully productive year teaching the rising generation about the importance of philosophy, principles of Objectivism, and related ideas for living fully and advancing liberty.

Objective Standard Institute had a highly productive 2021, teaching numerous courses, producing 109 podcast episodes, hosting TOS-Con 2021 with hundreds of attendees, and much more.
