Nesta edição de "Clássicos CBN", o maestro Helder Trefzger apresenta composições que combinam com o Réveillon e reflete como as músicas clássicas se entrelaçam com momentos importantes da vida. O comentarista celebra a chegada de um novo ano com uma seleção de clássicos vibrantes e alegres. Dos "Reais Fogos de Artifícios", de Handel, até "A Criação", de Haydn.

No último Irritações de 2024, o painel está reunido para continuar a discutir o que os continua a chatear de forma mais direta. Falando em passagem de ano, Luana do Bem diz ainda não compreender o interesse das "pessoas adultas" pelos fogos de artifício: "Passam anos e anos e continuamos fascinados com os fogos, mas porquê?".

Confira nesta edição do JR 24 Horas: Imagens flagraram o autor do atentado contra o STF, Francisco Wanderley, comprando os fogos de artifícios usados no ataque. Os funcionários da loja disseram que ele fez duas compras, no valor total de R$ 1.545, dias antes do crime. E ainda: Habeas corpus do ex-jogador Robinho começa a ser julgado nesta sexta (15).
No Brasil, a queima de fogos de artifício está relacionada a jogos de futebol, eventos públicos e privados, festas, formaturas, entre outros. Porém o barulho causado pela explosão é muito prejudicial para autistas, idosos e para os animais. Em Lauro Müller, um projeto de Lei Ordinária 40/2024 está sendo analisado pela Câmara de vereadores. A proposta visa proibir o manuseio, queima, soltura ou qualquer outra forma de utilização de fogos de artifício ou artefatos pirotécnicos de efeito sonoro ruidoso no município. Os autores do projeto, os vereadores Guilherme Coan, Lindomar Cataneo (PSD) e Valdecir Miotello (União), argumentam que a proibição pretende evitar prejuízos a pessoas, a animais e ao meio ambiente. Na justificativa do projeto, os autores reforçam que a queima de fogos de artifício causa traumas irreversíveis aos animais, crianças, idosos especialmente aqueles dotados de sensibilidade auditiva. Em alguns casos, os cães se debatem presos às coleiras até a morte por asfixia. Os gatos sofrem severas alterações cardíacas com as explosões e os pássaros têm a saúde muito afetada, crianças e idosos ficam agitados, sem contar que muitos acidentes ainda podem ocorrer durante o manuseio com os artefatos. Em entrevista ao Cruz de Malta Notícias desta quinta-feira (31), o vereador Guilherme Coan, ressaltou que o Projeto de Lei não tem como objetivo acabar com os espetáculos e festejos realizados com fogos de artifícios, apenas visa proibir que sejam utilizados artefatos que causem barulho, estampido e explosões, causando risco à vida humana e dos animais. Ainda durante a entrevista, Guilherme falou sobre outros assuntos, como a Lei do Nepotismo, que foi aprovada pela Câmara mas a prefeita ainda não colocou em prática. Ouça a entrevista completa:

In this episode of the Artist Business Plan we sit down with William Atkinson, to discuss his background in street art and how that influenced his career. Learn about the street artist's voice when you tune into this lovely episode.Guest: Contemporary artist William Atkinson has been creating art for over ten years. Working in his early years as a street artist under a pseudonym, William sought to use his distinctive blend of Abstract Expressionism, Street Art, and Graffiti Assemblage to anonymously create public discourse. While his work naturally transitioned from street art to formal galleries, his art has remained loud and subversive, keeping true to his initial form of expression. After starting his work in the arts, Atkinson founded and operated a gallery and artist incubator in Los Angeles, and later became operations director for two internationally-renowned galleries in New York. Today, Atkinson works out of his studio based in Dallas, Texas where he lives with his wife and child.For more information on applying to Superfine Art Fair as well as recordings of this and all of our past podcasts, just visit www.superfine.world IG: @superfineartfairIG: @william.atkinson.artIf you want to submit a listener question you can email it to joshua@superfine.world for a chance of it being answered by Alex, James, and our guest!Hosted and Executive Produced by James Miille and Alexander MitowExecutive Producer/Producer : Joshua GuicheritWritten by: Joshua Guicherit, Alexander Mitow, and James MiilleAudio Edited by: Christian Parry
In this enlightening episode, host Mark Jones, delves deep into the recent NAR Ruling on Buyer Agency Verdict in Missouri Kansas, which has sent ripples throughout the real estate industry. Joining the discussion are three industry veterans who bring their unique perspectives to the table.Guests:Nacole Ricks, a seasoned Residential Listing Specialist and Investment Property Expert, who advocates for homeownership and industry stability at NAR. Nacole highlights the indispensable role of the real estate sector in the state's economy, the essence of Fair Housing, and common misconceptions about real estate agents. John Grof, an accomplished real estate agent with a passion for music and the outdoors. John passionately speaks about the lawsuit's impact on the profession's integrity and questions the metrics used to judge agent commissions. He further draws parallels between realtor and attorney fees and hints at a possible larger agenda in play. Tori Summers, a dedicated buyers agent with an impressive track record. Tori brings her insights on serving clients, the importance of referrals, and her firsthand experiences on the field. Based in Boerne, TX, Tori's journey is testament to the dedication and hard work agents put in daily.The NAR (National Association of Realtors) verdict regarding buyer agency that resulted in a lawsuit of $1.78 billion is a significant development in the real estate industry. Here's a synthesis of the information gathered:The Verdict: A federal jury found the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and some residential brokerages, including units of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, liable for conspiring to artificially inflate commissions for home sales. As a result, they were ordered to pay $1.78 billion in damages1.Impact on Practices: The verdict could change long-standing practices that have allowed real estate agents to increase commissions in tandem with rising home prices and mortgage rates, making housing transactions more costly for consumers1.Plaintiffs: The class action lawsuit included sellers of over 260,000 homes in Missouri, Kansas, and Illinois between 2015 and 2022. These sellers objected to the commissions they had to pay to buyers' brokers1.Details of the Conspiracy: The accused parties were found guilty of colluding to maintain or inflate high commission rates via NAR's Clear Cooperation Rule2.Potential Implications: The awarded damages could be tripled under U.S. antitrust law, which would amount to more than $5.3 billion1. This ruling might also pave the way for similar lawsuits in other states2.Defendants' Response: NAR and other defendants, such as HomeServices of America, expressed their disappointment with the verdict and indicated plans to appeal1.Other Settlements: Some real estate companies chose to settle before the trial. For instance, Re/Max settled for $55 million and Anywhere Real Estate (which includes brands like Century 21 and Coldwell Banker) settled for $83.5 million1.Industry Repercussions: This verdict could lead to significant changes in the residential real estate industry. For instance, CoStar Group's CEO, Andy Florance, mentioned that the trial's outcome might create rapidly changing conditions favoring Homes.com, a CoStar subsidiary. The business model of Homes.com isn't negatively impacted by the potential end of the buyer-broker commission rule, presenting a new opportunity3.Key Factors Podcast is Powered by ReviewMyMortgage.com Host: Mark Jones | Sr. Loan Officer | NMLS# 513437 If you would like to work with Mark on your next home purchase or as a partner visit iThink Mortgage.
O Vida de Pet deste sábado aborda o medo que cães e gatos sentem em temporais e fogos de artifícios. by Rádio Gaúcha
SBC President Bart Barber named Josh Wester as the new chairman of the ARITF, and Jared Wellman was announced as the chairman of a to-be-appointed Cooperation Group that will look at cooperation in the SBC as well as the relationship of Article III of the SBC Constitution and Bylaw VIII.
Sitting in a room listening to a variety of presentations, most of them non-engaging with slides that looked like this. HUH? Then a physician stands up and begins to relay a series of statistics accompanied by stories. The suicide attempts among college girls have increased from 1% to 2%...a 100% increase in a 2-year span. Nearly 1 in 3 girls have contemplated suicide. We have a college-aged daughter and two college-aged sons…this woke me up. After the presentation, I waited until the presenter was finished shaking hands and walked over into a quiet corner where he was refreshing coffee and asked, “What happened?” His response, in paraphrase…” it is well documented that there is a two-year reversal in behavior among HS and college students in general…so instead of an 18-year-old dealing with 18-year-old things, you have an 18-year-old who is developmentally 16, trying to deal with 28-year-old things because of the unfiltered availability of information.” Thirty years ago, a small subsection of people in the lowcountry of South Carolina would have known of the intimate details of the Alex Murdaugh trial… now there are people in New York, California, and Indonesia whose lives have been impacted by a very very local story. That is 28-year-old Grown Adult information, being straight-veined into 16-year-old minds in New York City while also trying to deal with acne, prom dates, and asking, “Should I download Snapchat OR TikTok OR Tinder OR all three?” There is a narrative that we have heard around the country as we have spoken to groups in Tampa, CLT, ATL, Houston, Dallas, LA, and Vegas…. “Nobody wants to work anymore.” The business owners are looking at the labor pool, and looking at the modern “flexible work environment” and concluding… “Nobody wants to work anymore.” The key leaders are looking at the teams they are leading, and/or the people they are trying to hire and train and conclude… “Nobody wants to work anymore.” But let us reason together for a moment. Really ask, do people REALLY not want to work? REALLY? Do people REALLY want to wake up in a fog, sit around on the couch, indulge in meaningless things all day, eat dinner, watch Maury Povich and Dr. Phil, go to sleep, and do it all over again day after day after day? No. You know what people want? What YOU want?” MEANING You want to be-the-better you know you have the capacity to be! You want what you do to matter! You want what you do to move the needle! You don't want to stand around the cubicle wasteland and drone on and on about the TPS report. To do meaningful things, things that matter, there are 3 things that I want to reiterate, remind, and regurgitate… First, you need hard coachING and you need TO coach hard A reshaping is needed (chucks pottery example sermon 2/26) It offers mobility, portability… And yet, periodically needs to be reshaped and reformed. Pottery shifted an entire economic culture Allowed for portable societies The beauty of the pottery metaphor is that… Solid, hard coaching re-forms, both as you receive and give thoughtful coaching The alternative of this is to ignore coaching, the sound of which just sounds idiotic. Kyrie Irving/Kevin Durant (audio) Nothing good will be done that is done outside of wisdom and accountability Tech will change, languages will change, empires will come and go Wisdom and accountability have and will always be Instead of seeking principle wisdom, We PURSUE THE BEST books, conferences, podcasts, and new strategies to find non-caloric solutions that will run themselves so we don't have to work. THEY WILL NOT… We keep trying to buy the BEST project management software, CRM, billing system… The BEST software is the software that you will actually use!...it requires action The BEST town is the town you will actually live life in…it requires action The BEST car is the one you will actually drive…it requires action The BEST spouse is the one you will actually enjoy spending time with…it requires action ALL of these require YOUR choice, and YOUR action WHY did we see a regress of maturity and cognitive capability among a younger generation? Not realizing that solving problems IS THE JOB ROLE Because outside forces stepped in (including us in this room) and did not allow them to work the muscle of their own independence! What we touted as flexibility became inactivity and apathy…just waiting. We've done much the same in our business trying to remove people from the challenge of solving problems… We have a tool called the Ideal Weekly Schedule…it is among the SIMPLEST tools a BOP coach brings in their toolbelt. You want the adherence level of an Ideal Weekly Schedule is? 30 minutes of pre-work 2 minutes of review daily UNLIMITED discipline and implementation Parkinson's Law tells us that “work expands to the time allotted” Was challenged to do a duel The night before the duel, he wrote letters to friends… Then wrote his “Mathematical Testament” that changed the entire landscape of modern math…IN ONE NIGHT Annie Dillard - a weekly schedule is “willed, faked and so brought into being” Give yourself a week and you'll take a week…give yourself an hour and you'll take an hour EVARISTE GALOISE A POLITICAL ACTIVIST AND MATHEMATICIAN…and a man of turmoil Less than 20% if we're being very generous You know what an Ideal Weekly Schedule requires? A manufactured stricture of our time creates urgency Instead of the weekly schedule, we look at the sub-contractor, the vendor, the customer, our own team and point our finger at them blaming our haphazard week on outside forces. We assume all MEANINGFUL time means personal time Assuming you believe in creation, one of the very first things we as humans were created to do was to WORK There is MEANING IN WORK. THAT IS FULL TIME -> BEST EFFORT YOU OWN YOUR TIME, and YOU WANT THAT TIME TO BE MEANINGFUL within the helpful expectations your business has helped set for you Not to work ALWAYS Not to work SOMETIMES We were designed to work, and rest, and work, and rest…a rhythm When we surround ourselves with the accountability of coaching (internally and externally), we are pushed to work and rest When we lead a person who needs to BE coached, we surround them with the accountability to work and rest, work and rest REALITY: We are trying to rest, pass it off as work and excuse it as “flexibility” Our current narrative: “I need flexibility to interrupt the drudgery of work to take care of life” Let's reframe the narrative: “Technology has provided the flexibility to check in on life while I'm doing meaningful work, and to be fully present in life while I am resting from work” Coaching will hold you accountable so you can find meaning in both. By which YOU can now coach others to do the same. The Second reminder of meaningful work: happiness is elusive, joy is manufactured Full confession - I'm teaching this as a student…not the expert Hedonic treadmill: “these conveniences by becoming habitual had almost entirely ceased to be enjoyable, and at the same time degenerated into true needs, it became much more cruel to be deprived of them than to possess them was sweet, and men were unhappy to lose them without being happy to possess them.” - Jean-Jacques Rousseau TRUE STORY: We've achieved a lot of chaos-busting tools and coaching, and yet a failure that we have had at BOP since we started in 2015 is building an incentive compensation structure and coaching module that works for everyone A constantly rising tide that could go up…or down leaving the business in a tough spot if it doled out its reserves. We have never seen more than 10-15% of employees offer a sincere and non-expectant thank you for additional compensation received (bonuses, etc.) Why? The joy of possessing them was immediately rooted out by the numbness of expecting them Why have we pushed so hard against year-end, random bonuses? B/c the human psyche can't help but see it as a recurring expectation…joy is lost b/c the convenience was never found… FLIP THE NARRATIVE IN YOUR HEAD: “All joy…make it your in-front-of thought” James 1:2 - James was the son of an Israeli Construction worker who lived in a village town between Haifa on the Mediterranean and the modern Sea of Galilee When they were older, his brother was falsely accused of a crime, and murdered in public James was beheaded because of his teaching and his body buried in Spain What was the message he taught? “All joy…make it your in-front-of (first before any) thought” What is joy - a willful acceptance that a situation has brought you favor Testing leads to endurance Endurance leads to growth Growth leads to fullness Fullness is the opposite of emptiness which is what many of us feel now. Choosing Joy in hard things = Satisfaction and not emptiness WHY JOY? ACTION: A NEW QUESTION TO ADD FOR CHECK IN: “what hard thing happened this week that you can find joy in?” Third, your job is to swim in a pool of problems and solve them This was the wisdom of the great Vanilla Ice - “If you've got a problem, yo, I'll solve it…” Without a PROBLEM, there is no need for a solution, therefore no need for job roles…no need for services and products. Artif.

In this episode, Jonathan explores Hank Reardon's perception that business enterprise is a "shameful cult." This involves a larger discussion of the value of work and the psychological toll of living with people who have different values. Jonathan mentions the book Callings as an example of how work can hold larger value.My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:What is human nature?Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.Dagny Taggart as a true hero.How empathy can be de-legitimized.What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?

In this episode, Jonathan finishes up their discussion of Chapter 5. We see Dagny and Francisco interact in the novel's present time. The dialog reinforces the pattern for Francisco: keeping secrets and acting paternalistic toward Dagny. However, we also see suspenseful developments of Dagny's character on the Hero's Journey. Ayn Rand takes some more pot shots at socialism, which Jonathan addresses.

In this episode, Jonathan discusses the end of the backstory of Francisco and Dagny's relationship. In reference to the "exhilaration" of Francisco's manic overworking, Jonathan draws out the distinction between workaholism and flow state. Flow state is a concept explained by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (click here for his book on the flow state). This episode contains a lot of commentary about trust in relationships and how Francisco d'Anconia violates Dagny's trust.

Display your creativity/put on your own art showDo it in your house - could be just for yourself to see and appreciate or you can invite friends/familyFirst let yourself view what you've created How to appreciate your progress/creative journey and build in time to pause and celebrateSometimes when our projects get stored away in a file in our computer, in a sketchbook, we can forget about them, we can forget about the progress we've made, the different styles we've attempted Remind ourselves where we've been, can inspire/help us identify where we want to go next —------------- Hey, I'm Krista Kankula. I'm a creativity coach and I'm here to offer short exercises to help you cultivate and express your creativity and do it in a way that's rooted in joy, playfulness and self-belief.The exercise I'm about to share with you is great if you're:Wanting to work up the courage to share your art with more people Feeling like people don't see/recognize your creativity or artIf you're experiencing a lot of self-doubt about your progress and creative skillsOr if you have a dream to one day have your work featured in a gallery, festival or some sort of public space.The practice today is this:You're going to imagine you're hosting an art open house and it's going to be featuring your art/your creations. You get to curate and design how you'll display your art and which pieces you'd like to feature. And then once you're done you can decide if you'd like to invite friends, family, colleagues - the people in your circle to view it OR if for right now you'd prefer to view it yourself, and share it with others later.Often we don't spend a whole lot of time with what we've created when it's finished. It might stay in a sketchbook and after we're done we're flipping to the next page, or it gets tucked away in a box or it lives in a digital folder, on our phone, on a social media feed or our camera roll. Going through what you've created is an opportunity for you to be present with what you've made. To fully take it in and appreciate it. It's an opportunity to see your journey as a creative, how your skills and perspectives has changed over the months and years. Through this process of reviewing and displaying your art you can look back and admire what you've created and maybe even get inspiration from these past creations. This process also gives us the opportunity to appreciate something we made, that maybe at the time we couldn't fully appreciate because self-doubt or perfection was clouding our perception at the time.So find a way to display a collection of your art, your creations. Use this exercise as a way to pause and appreciate your progress. Use this exercise as a practice in seeing your creative gifts and seeing yourself as a creative/artist - often we want other people to recognize our gifts/creativity, but what are we doing to recognize ourselves? What are we doing to really see + honour our creativity?As always Ryan and I would love to hear from you. Take a photo + share your display/collection with us or let us know what this process of reviewing and displaying your work was like for you. Tag Ryan @creativepeople.podcast and me @kristakankula
[For October-November 2022, episodes will not be released with the usual weekly frequency due to some family commitments. Hopefully the podcast will get back to regular weekly episodes soon. Thanks, everyone, for your patience and thoughtful engagement with the podcast!]In this episode, Jonathan analyzes the next few scenes of Chapter 5 (Part 1). Dagny and Francisco, now young adults, take their relationship to new levels of intimacy. Ayn Rand's description of that intimacy features the language of capitalism (ownership) but also there are surprising moments of feminism and sex positivity.

In this episode, we "Fast Forward" to the Story of the 20th Century Motor Company (located in Chapter 10 of Part 2; p.616-627 in the Signet paperback edition). There are not many places on the internet to find the excerpt except for this link.Jonathan begins the Fast Forward episodes on the 20th Century Motor Company by doing a case study of the post-Soviet economy of Estonia, responding to a speech given by Mart Laar at the Universidad Francisco Marroquín in 2006 (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lasy0pfn1is). Much of Ayn Rand's purpose in this section of Atlas Shrugged is to argue that socialist policies will fail to produce prosperity and instead produce misery. Laar argues that free market ideology caused the prosperity of Estonia. Jonathan complicates both these portrayals by 1) looking deeper at the historical context of post-Soviet Estonia, and 2) examining the cultural resonance of the Communist dictum, "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need." Regarding Estonia, some sources that Jonathan drew from to prepare for this episode are:Kukk, K. (1997). The Baltic states: Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. In P. Desai (Ed.), Going global: transition in the world economy (pp. 243–272).

This episode starts by checking in with Jim Taggart's growing apprehension of the power of shame-based morality -- something that Dagny thinks is potentially dangerous but Francisco considers merely disdainful. Next, the conversation turns to the dynamic between Francisco and Dagny, which continues to play according to Francisco's terms, mostly. Jonathan responds to the moral formula that someone who doesn't work has no value. The most important thing to understand about this is that the word "work" has an entire network of associations and meanings in our culture. When Francisco slaps Dagny, Rand wants to produce shock in the reader regarding how awful it is that girls are pressured to play dumb in school, but ends up legitimizing violence against women and connecting violence to intimacy. This episode ends with the scene of Dagny's debut dance. Her mother thinks Dagny needs to experience sadness but in her experience of the debut, Dagny proves that is wrong. But there is fallout: the social world has disappointed Dagny. She realizes that it is indeed rare to approach life in the way that she and Fransisco do.For the next episode, we "Fast Forward" to the Story of the 20th Century Motor Company (located in Chapter 10 of Part 2; p.616-627 in the Signet paperback edition).

In this episode, Jonathan delves into the next stages of the friendship between Dagny and Francisco. Also, this episode further analyzes the antipathy between James and Francisco. Next, Jonathan spends a lot of time reflecting on the optimistic paragraph that describes how the three friends (Dagny, Francisco, and Eddie) sit around the bonfire imagining the greatness of the future. The next section of this episode addresses the kind of vulnerability that is briefly introduced regarding Francisco's capacity for joy. Lastly, Jonathan interprets the "new reticence" mentioned between Francisco and Dagny.My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:What is human nature?Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.Dagny Taggart as a true hero.How empathy can be de-legitimized.What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?

This episode focuses on the first scenes presented about Francisco d'Anconia's childhood interactions with the Taggart family, especially Dagny. Jonathan analyzes the friendship dynamics between Francisco, Dagny, and Eddie. Then, when Francisco attempts to test their mettle as an anonymous call boy for the train, we see the temptation that we all have to get an evaluation of our skills apart from our inherited or social background. Jonathan asserts that this is an illusion because of the socially embedded nature of identity, skills, and culture. There are interesting parallels between this episode in Francisco's story and Ayn Rand's biography. Beyond that illusion, though, Francisco does display admirable grit and perseverance. But does Jim deserve the humiliation that Francisco often instigates? In this context, Jonathan mentions Jean Jacques Rousseau's book on education, Emile. At the end of the episode, Jonathan delves into the psychological and cultural implications of Francisco's decision to keep his railroad work secret from Dagny.

In this episode, Jonathan analyzes the back story of Francisco D'Anconia's ancestry. The main topic of this episode is how Ayn Rand infuses an aristocratic family with bourgeois values. This involves thinking about social class in the terms conceptualized by Friedrich Nietzsche in the Genealogy of Morals. Jonathan recommends the podcast Philosophize This for a great explanation of the philosophy of Nietzsche.

In this episode, Jonathan reaches the end of Chapter 4. In these last two scenes, Dagny interacts with two characters who share her "sense of life" and value system. The scene with Ellis Wyatt highlights the struggle of someone who has pride in their work but works in a broken system. Ellis Wyatt expresses particular disdain for those who feed off the carcasses of producers and Jonathan draws an analogy to the leeching behavior depicted in the TV show Silicon Valley. In the next scene, Hank Rearden tells Dagny that he likes that she "plays it open." Jonathan explores the question of boundaries when establishing trust in business interactions. On the one hand, you don't want to be deceptive, but on the other hand, you don't want to overshare. How do you strike a balance? Lastly, the chapter ends with Hank expressing concern about the immorality of materialism. Dagny asserts that it's not immoral to be proud of a hard-won accomplishment. Jonathan suggests that there is a spiritual dimension to accomplishment and that it's not entirely reducible to materialism.My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:What is human nature?Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.Dagny Taggart as a true hero.How empathy can be de-legitimized.What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?

Jonathan first discusses the short scene between Dagny and James. The "secret" that Dagny detects in James Taggart's smile is probably the short-term advantage possessed by those who are willing to use brute force or political maneuvering to achieve their goal. In the scene between Dagny and Dan Conway, we meet another "man's man" who built a successful enterprise in a rags-to-riches fashion. For the first time in the book, college education gets mentioned with disdain in a way that can be connected to the disdain of elite technocrats in the political culture of the USA in the early 21st century. To illustrate the tension between technocratic and grassroots viewpoints, Jonathan mentions the Indian farmers' protests of 2020-2021. Jonathan then compares Dan Conway's decision to the Crito Dialogue by Plato. Dan Conway expresses faith in democracy, but there are severe flaws with pure democracy. James Madison offers the most classic explanation of the problems with pure democracy in Federalist Paper 10.

This episode focuses on the vexing problem of setting rules for competition in marketplaces and profit-making. The government's function is to set the rules of the game and enforce them. In Atlas Shrugged, the National Railroad Association conducts illegal collusion, but Ayn Rand makes it seem like this behavior is something that firms could easily get away with in the real world. On the contrary, in the real world, it is not so easy to illegally collude. During this discussion, Jonathan mentions some trade associations that funded ad campaigns (for milk and for cotton). Jonathan explores the question: could there be a realistic scenario in which something like the Anti-Dog-Eat-Dog Rule could emerge within a society with a strong rule of law? (The video game Bioshock takes place in a world that has already wholly converted to the ideals presented in Atlas Shrugged.) Jonathan then connects the topic of blight to the economic question of meeting consumer demand. Instead of reducing each economic situation to the dichotomy of public versus private, think about what the best method is to meet the consumer demand for a particular good or service. For more information about "destructive competition" carried out by the Standard Oil Company, see the Supreme Court case Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey v. United States (1911).A point of agreement that Jonathan sees in this scene is the critique of the power of what Ayn Rand calls "pull" -- when decisions get made based on who your friends are, instead of evidence or merit. Next episode, Jonathan will refer to the Crito dialogue by Plato.Whoops! In the end, Jonathan accidentally refers to this episode as 32, but, really, this has been and will always be Episode 33.My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:What is human nature?Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.Dagny Taggart as a true hero.How empathy can be de-legitimized.What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?

File this one under the theme: what is Capitalism and what is wrong with it? Jonathan provides a lengthy history-infused explanation of nationalization (when a government takes over an industry or a particular firm within an industry). The historical journey features Mexico's nationalization of its petroleum industry and the US Department of State's webpage. Jonathan mentions the Takings Clause in the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution and the Supreme Court case Kelo v. New London. Eminent Domain is covered in Article 27 of the Constitution of Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. A very highly recommended book on public enterprise (including nationalization and privatization) is Our Common Wealth: The Return of Public Ownership in the United States by Thomas M. Hanna. Jonathan reads a passage about Amtrak on page 32 of Hanna's book. Also, the information about electricity municipalization in Boulder, Colorado, described at the start of the episode, was drawn from Hanna's book.My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:What is human nature?Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.Dagny Taggart as a true hero.How empathy can be de-legitimized.What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?

I thought that I could cover both the gender discussion and nationalization in about 45 minutes, but that did not happen. So, this week, we get into gender with the scene between James Taggart and Betty Pope. The next episode (#32) will discuss nationalization.Jonathan's understanding of contemporary gender theory and research is grounded in the text Gender: Ideas, Interactions, Institutions by Lisa Wade and Myra Marx Ferree.In the discussion about gender and politics, Jonathan mentions Margaret Thatcher and Julia Gillard (see her famous speech). A fictional figure, Claire Underwood, demonstrates some of the "self-immolation" that Jonathan thinks Ayn Rand had in mind when she wrote her essay (in this book) about not wanting a woman to be president.
