We promote open Objectivism: the philosophy of reason, achievement, individualism, and freedom. 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.

How to Reform Entitlements? with Romina Boccia
Q: Valiant Mike asks about allowing younger Americans to invest part of social security taxes in private accounts; what is your view?
The focus should be on reducing overall Social Security spending first; raising payroll taxes to fund current benefits would be costly for individuals, so reforms should lean toward slowing benefit growth, targeted poverty protection, and expanding voluntary private savings rather than broad tax hikes.
How to Reform Entitlements? with Romina Boccia
Q: Candice Morena asks, What actually happens if the Social Security Trust Fund runs out of money?
If Congress does not act, the trust fund could be depleted by 2032, and benefits could face an automatic cut of roughly 25%, with some discretion potentially concentrated on higher-income recipients.
Are Data Centers Good, Actually? with Robert Tracinski
Q: Should data centers be responsible for funding their own power infrastructure, or should costs be socialized?
Power infrastructure costs should be addressed through regulatory reform and shared mechanisms, not shifted entirely onto ratepayers or treated as a subsidy exclusively for data centers; this balances growth with fair cost distribution.
How Elite Law Schools Are Undermining America with Walter Olson
Q: What advice would you give to young people considering law school?
Choose based on whether you want to engage in the intellectual study of law at top schools or pursue practical training in business-related legal fields; there are affordable options that still produce excellent lawyers, and bar passage rates should be a key consideration.
How Elite Law Schools Are Undermining America with Walter Olson
Q: What are the most effective tort reforms you've seen, and why do you think they work?
State-level limits on non-economic damages have been among the most practical reforms, reducing the chill on business activity and curbing runaway litigation, while arbitration provides a faster, cheaper dispute-resolution pathway that can maintain consumer rights.
