Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism was set forth in such works as her epic novel Atlas Shrugged, and in her brilliant non-fiction essays. Objectivism is designed as a guide to life, and celebrates the remarkable potential and power of the individual. Objectivism also challenges the doctrines of irrati... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is The "New Right" Just Postmodernism in Disguise? with Hicks and Salsman
Q: Curious, did Nietzsche agree with the Great Man Theory of History, and how should we distinguish a healthy admiration for excellence from a dangerous worship of power?
Nietzsche is characterized as an advocate of the Great Man Theory, emphasizing a single extraordinary individual as driving historical change, while modern liberals typically argue that nearly anyone can develop the capacity for excellence with the right conditions; the concern is to balance honoring excellence with avoiding power worship.
300th Episode: How To Fight Censorship with Nadine Strossen
Q: The book takes on 10 pro-censorship arguments that are very much alive in today's culture. Is there one which you think is the most intellectually seductive, the one that even people who care about free speech sometimes fall for?
Strossen explains that while there are many seductive arguments, the one about words being equivalent to violence has grown particularly persuasive, especially on campuses; she argues that this framing can be used to justify suppressing speech, which in turn undermines truth-seeking and democratic dialogue.
The Dark Side of "Social Emotional Learning" with Priscilla West
Q: Is SEL widespread in public education stronger in some states versus others?
It is present in all 50 states with varying levels of mandates, and all states tie SEL to pre-K while many have longitudinal data systems tracking SEL alongside academics and behavior.
Are Trial Lawyers Killing Innovation? with Ted Frank
Q: Do you think tort abuse is more a cultural issue or a structural one?
Frank argues it's a mix but highlights cultural tendencies in the U.S. toward litigation and the unique American compensation culture, while noting the need for structural reforms to realign incentives.
Are Trial Lawyers Killing Innovation? with Ted Frank
Q: What do you see as the core problems with how class actions are settled, and what reforms would you like to see?
He discusses the misalignment in settlements where attorneys' fees are large while the class receives little or uncertain relief, and argues for stronger rules and judicial scrutiny to ensure genuine consumer relief.
