In this talk, Yaron Brook examines the alarming growth of authoritarianism within Western democracies. He discusses how expanding government regulations, heightened surveillance, and centralized control over both economic and social spheres are eroding individual freedoms. Brook traces these developments to deeper philosophical and cultural shifts, notably the rejection of individualism in favor of collectivist ideologies. Highlighting the dire consequences of this trend for liberty and prosperity, he calls for a revival of Enlightenment principles—emphasizing reason, individual rights, and limited government—as the antidote to authoritarianism's rise.This talk was given on December 1, 2024 in Oslo, Norway at the Gamle Raadhus Scene.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/yaron-brook-show--3276901/support.

Maybe we're in agreement that this has been a revolution, a soft revolution to be sure, populated by creators and nurturers and builders. It's almost like Ayn Rand in reverse. And it's a revolution against those who only seek to tear down. Because Satan doesn't care what you do after you destroy society. He just wants it to remain destroyed. It's a fascinating thing to step back, I think, to look at some of the ways creators, nurturers, and builders have led this revolution.Episode Links:Scientific American Ignored Years of Editor Laura Helmuth's Appalling Conduct, Then Scalped Her After I Circulated Her Own Tweets; Support for Helmuth's hatred and bigotry further exposes science writers' political bias, meager reporting skills, and distaste for the American public.Over 300 pages of evidence from the CDC show very clearly that vaccines cause autism and that Wakefield was right about the MMR shots; Recently, I received a treasure trove of documents from a source inside the CDC showing they knew for over 20 years that Wakefield was right: vaccines cause autism.The rise of direct primary care in America; Andy Bonner Policy January 2, 2024 A higher percentage of K–12 students are receiving academic instruction at home.

Our special guest is back for a second installment, so we decided to show her exactly what Steve and Brandon put themselves through each week by playing a movie that is waaayyy less competently done than last week's episode. But first, we talk about our #dreams for a bit and look for a little analysis. Killer Kites: Abby receives a crappy plastic kite as part of her grandmother's estate. Unbeknownst to Abby, this isn't just some ordinary kite. It is a blood-thirsty communist PInko kite set on the destruction of capitalist society. After the mysterious death of her brother, Abby has to assemble a crack squad to combat the Red Kite menace. Boys From County Hell final grade: Steve An upper-echelon movie for the ultra-low-budget set. I was entertained. Jokes hit. The movie's lead star was better than expected. 4.0/5.0 Brandon A good way to kill an hour or so. Not my favorite of the micro-budget movies, though, so have to rank it lower than some others. 3.5/5.0 Amanda I was entertained by the absurdity, but the story itself was underdeveloped. It left me with a lot of unanswered questions. 3.2/5.0 Cocktail of the Week: Plastic Kite 1 1/2 oz Bourbon 3/4 oz Amaro 1/4 oz Campari 3/4 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice 1/4 oz Simple Syrup Combine everything in a cocktail shaker. Shake to chill and combine. Serve in a martini glass. As usual, feel free to chill the glass if you want. Double strain it if you want. Garnish if you want. Make it your own. Cocktail Grade: A good variation of the more famous Paper Plane. Even our non-bourbon-fan control group said the drink was "not terrible." Bourbon fans will give it higher marks. 4/5 ------------------ Contact us with feedback or cocktail/movie recommendations to: boozeandbmovies@gmail.com X: @boozeandbmovies Instagram: @boozeandbmovies Threads: @boozeandbmovies www.facebook.com/boozeandbmovies --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boozeandbmovies/support

What does it mean to be drawn into the mystery of Divine Love? Even as beautifully as John writes, it is difficult to wrap our minds around the experience of the living God; the experience of a love that is free of every impediment and passion, a love that makes us sons and daughters of God and so shapes are identity in such a way that it is unshakable. What is it that can overcome such a love? Our identity is often shaped by anxieties and fears, the unexpected and unknown, and our insecurities. Yet, as we are immersed in the love of God, all fear dissipates and is overtaken by an urgent longing for God and the thirst for his love. We often resist opening ourselves up and becoming vulnerable to this love. One famous author wrote, “humankind can only bear so much reality.“ Yet the love of God, the more that it is experienced, allows us to run toward that reality rather than avoid it . It reveals to us that even our weaknesses, the things that we perhaps hate about ourselves or the wounds that we bear, draw us toward him. Love reveals to us that we experience nothing in isolation. Christ is always present to us and within us. This being so allows us to offer Him all that we are without shame. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:06:36 Una: Byzantine Carmelite nuns https://www.byzantinediscalcedcarmelites.com/index.html 00:06:55 Una: In Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania 00:08:46 Bob Cihak, AZ: The author was one of the lecturers at Acton University when I attended over 10 years ago.

In this episode of the Marketing Secrets podcast, I continue my in-depth conversation with Josh Forti, exploring the ideas in Atlas Shrugged and diving into the intersection of personal beliefs, entrepreneurship, and family values. Throughout this series, we've tackled sensitive subjects like religion, politics, and the evolving role of family, all framed within the philosophy of Ayn Rand's classic. In this fourth installment, Josh and I examine the driving forces behind entrepreneurship, the challenges of staying true to core values, and how these principles influence both business and personal life. Josh and I discuss how our upbringings and relationships with our parents shaped our outlooks and entrepreneurial spirits. We reflect on how pivotal those early family values were to our development, particularly the roles of our fathers as hardworking role models and our mothers as sources of unconditional support. We also talk about the significant impact of maintaining a balance between masculine and feminine energy in relationships, a concept I first explored with Tony Robbins. Key Highlights: Parental Influence: How family dynamics and values shape entrepreneurial drive and personal development. Masculine and Feminine Energy: Insights from Tony Robbins on balancing energies in relationships and their importance in family stability. Entrepreneurship and Influence: The role of communication in making complex ideas accessible and influential to a broad audience. Philosophical Conflicts: Navigating the concepts of charity and self-interest in Atlas Shrugged and reconciling these with our faith and moral values. This episode is packed with personal insights on navigating life as an entrepreneur while remaining grounded in one's values. Join us as we reflect on the intersection of philosophy, family, and business and how they shape our path forward.

We're back with part 3 of my fascinating interview with Josh Forti and our special series exploring Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. In this installment we unpack powerful lessons from the book that continue to shape the way I think about business, value, and success. We focus on what it means to be a “prime mover” and discuss how producers can create meaningful change without losing their identity or purpose. Josh and I explore a variety of deep topics in this episode, from the importance of fulfilling work to navigating societal expectations around success. One of the standout moments was when we discussed Myron Golden's “four levels of value” framework, which breaks down the hierarchy of contributions—from manual labor to visionary leadership—and why each level plays a crucial role. This conversation pushed us to ask hard questions about fulfillment and whether everyone needs to be an entrepreneur to feel truly alive. Key Topics and Questions Explored: Fulfillment vs. Achievement: Can someone find deep fulfillment in roles that society views as “average” or non-entrepreneurial? The Four Levels of Value: We break down how workers, managers, communicators, and visionaries contribute to building a thriving organization. Success and Societal Criticism: How do you thrive in a world where success can often be criticized or misunderstood? Balancing Ambition and Contribution: What does it take to succeed while still giving back to your family, community, and society? The Art of Writing as a Journey: I share insights about my next book project and how it's reshaping the way I think about storytelling. If you're someone trying to balance growth with purpose, or you've ever questioned the path you're on, this episode will resonate deeply with you. It's packed with thought-provoking ideas, actionable insights, and a few personal stories you won't want to miss.

https://youtu.be/MLF5deQWbrc Podcast audio: In this episode of New Ideal, Aaron Smith interviews Elan Journo to discuss his critical evaluation of two popular but deeply flawed biographies of Ayn Rand: Jennifer Burns' Goddess of the Market and Anne C. Heller's Ayn Rand and the World She Made. Among the topics covered: The standards of objectivity that the biographies fail to meet; The authors' disregard for how Rand thought of herself and her work; Examples of the books' lack of objectivity; How the authors mishandled the biographies' sources; Why ignoring Rand's philosophy makes the books less interesting and intelligible. Recommended in this podcast are Journo's articles “‘Goddess of the Market: Ayn Rand and the American Right' Is Worse than Incompetent” and “Postscript: ‘Ayn Rand and the World She Made' Is an Exploitative, Tabloid Biography,” and Allan Gotthelf and Gregory Salmieri's book A Companion to Ayn Rand.

Welcome back to part two of my deep dive with Josh Forti into Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. This conversation is a continuation from the first episode, where we explore some of the philosophical themes in the book and their real-world applications. If you missed part one, I recommend starting there before diving into this episode—it'll give you the full context of our thought-provoking journey. In this episode, Josh and I discuss topics that go beyond just the book itself. We explore ideas about ambition, productivity, and personal fulfillment, as well as how these concepts influence the way we build businesses and lead our lives. It's not just about scaling companies but also understanding the motives behind why we create, strive, and continue to produce—even when it seems like we've already achieved success. Key Highlights: Greed vs. Growth: We question how ambition is often misinterpreted as greed and explore how personal growth transforms with life stages. Sedation vs. Creation: A deep dive into why so many people stop producing, and how fear or discomfort drives them toward sedation instead of action. Government and Charity: We challenge traditional views on taxes, charity, and responsibility, asking if personal giving should replace government intervention. The Producer's Mindset: We unpack why some people are naturally driven to create and keep building, even after reaching financial success. If you're interested in how philosophical insights can shape your personal and business decisions, this episode will definitely give you some powerful takeaways. Listen in, and let's continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible!
