Every week in the 1950s and 60s, 30 million Americans watched the congenial Bennett Cerf on Sunday nights on "What's My Line?" But he was much more than a game show panelist. In 1927, he co-founded the publishing giant Random House and brought to the public authors such as James Joyce, Ayn Rand, Truman Capote, Dr. Suess, and William Faulkner. Author Gayle Feldman spent 30 years researching and writing her book "Nothing Random." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I promise that I will state plainly for you – in ten short words – the singular Rule of Success before you have finished reading this Monday Morning Memo.Stay quiet and stay close. We are wandering into a dangerous area. To see the glittering truth of the Rule of Success, we must quietly sneak up on it.The North Star never moves because it hovers directly above the axis of the earth. If you draw a line from the South Pole to the North Pole and then extend that line 323 light years into space, it will touch the North Star.Your life's goal is your guiding light, your North Star. This is why you are forever traveling northward as you pursue your dream.But there is a limit to north. That limit is called the North Pole.When you go beyond that limit, you are now headed in the opposite direction.This is the bitter truth that has been tasted by every person who has achieved their life's goal:“You work your whole life to reach the summit. And when you get there, all the roads lead down.”Like every rule, North and South are finite and achievable.Like every principle, East and West are infinite and unachievable.You can travel east forever and never reach the end of “east.”“The opposite of a correct statement is an incorrect statement. But the opposite of a profound truth is often another profound truth.”Without intending to do so, Niels Bohr summarized in those two sentences the fundamental difference between a rule and a principle. The first sentence describes every rule. The second sentence describes every principle.The person who turns a principle into a rule is a fool.I call that person a fool only because their mind is not big enough to hold in stasis the contradictory tension that is at the heart of every profound truth.Did it ever occur to you that helping people get what they want is the foundational principle behind every business on earth?Do you want to be successful?This the only Rule of Success:“Find out what people want, then give it to them.”Jesus taught us the eternal principle behind the Rule of Success when he said,“Love your neighbor as yourself.”Remove “Love” from that principle, and you will have a similar principle that says,“It is always good to help people get what they want.”But here is the “opposite truth” of that principle:“It is always bad to help people get what they want when it would require injuring an innocent person.”In other words, removing “love” wasn't such a great idea.People who worship at the altar of Ayn Rand always try to convince me that it is okay to damage naive, gullible, innocent people “because the only person that really matters is you, and you are not responsible for making other people happy. You are only responsible for making yourself happy.”Interestingly, that is exactly what Jeffrey Epstein believed.He died in prison for his belief, and his name has become a curse word.Bernie Madoff was only pretending to help people get what they wanted. He was perceived as “successful” for as long as he was able to sustain his con.Bernie likewise died in prison.Sam Bankman-Fried was a young fool who pretended to be helping people while he was robbing them blind.The courts took away the 11 billion dollars he stole. Then they locked him in a room the size of a walk-in closet where he will spend the next 25 years of his life.Removing love is never a good idea.– Roy H. Williams

In episode two of their ongoing series on The Great Recession, the Shuffle Bois turn to the folks who profited from the collapse of the housing market, as described and immortalized in Michael Lewis' book "The Big Short" and its 2015 film adaptation. After describing the major characters of this story, they then turn to a plot summary of the film, peppering in some digressions on 2000s culture and the nature of sub prime lending companies. Then, as always, they turn to their themes and big ideas, including the enrichment of the contemptible and the noxious social effects of Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy.Check out our website to search for episodes at: ⁠remembershuffle.com⁠⁠Give Remember Shuffle a follow on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@RememberShufflePod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to interact with the show between episodes.

Gene Epstein served as economics editor of Barron's from 1993 to 2018, where his long-running Economic Beat column became required reading for anyone serious about understanding macroeconomics beyond slogans and political talking points. Throughout his career, Epstein challenged the assumptions behind monetary manipulation, deficit spending, regulation, and state “management” of markets, insisting that economic outcomes must be understood as the result of individual choice, incentives, and real-world constraints—not good intentions or bureaucratic planning.The conversation also explores Epstein's role as founder and director of The Soho Forum, a debate platform that has become one of the few remaining venues for rigorous, civil, high-level disagreement on economics, liberty, and social policy. Epstein discusses why open debate matters, why bad ideas survive when they are not challenged, and how intellectual honesty—not consensus—is the engine of progress.This episode is a clear-eyed discussion about why markets work, why government intervention repeatedly fails, and why economic freedom is not merely efficient, but necessary for human flourishing.About Gene EpsteinGene Epstein (born 1944) is an American economist, writer, and public intellectual. He served as economics editor of Barron's for 25 years and authored the influential Economic Beat column, where he analysed macroeconomic trends and exposed the unintended consequences of government intervention.

The New Intellectual Book Study met in 2022 and 2023 to discuss For the New Intellectual, by Ayn Rand. This week our reading was pages 101–116. About the Book Study: Today's society is degenerating into a cult of despair. Not even churches are immune. In For the New Intellectual, Ayn Rand gave a brilliant overview of the status of Western culture, what brought us here, and how to bring a second Renaissance. The book is a good first or second read for someone wanting to understand Ayn Rand's Objectivism. Rand offered the book as a collection of the essential ideas in her philosophy “for those who wish to acquire an integrated view of existence.” Rand's goal was to advocate against mysticism, altruism, and collectivism, and for their opposites: reason, individualism, and capitalism. This book study was designed for Christians interested in understanding Rand's work and finding out where her insights can be valuable specifically to Christians. Project Outline: Ayn Rand's “For the New Intellectual” Week 01 – pg 10–23 Week 02 – pg 24–37 Week 03 – pg 37–57 Ayn Rand's Character Speeches Week 01 – Short Speeches, pg 60–76 Week 02 – Roark's Courtroom Speech, pg 77–86 Week 03 – Earlier Atlas Shrugged Speeches, pg 88–101 Week 04 – Later Atlas Shrugged Speeches, pg 101–116 Galt's Speech Weeks 01 – 05 Listen to the podcast in the player below, or view the video here.
