Podcasts about individualists

When U.S. President Donald Trump announced the imposition of his “Liberation Day” tariffs against most of America's global trading partners in April 2025, he seemed to harken back to a centuries-old form of economic nationalism known as mercantilism, which sought prosperity through restrictive trade practices. Opponents of mercantilism from the eighteenth century onward, such as Adam Smith and John-Baptiste Say, became known as classical liberals. In the fullness of time, classical liberalism gave rise to the political philosophy we now know as libertarianism.When most people think of libertarianism, they typically have in mind a small number of figures — including Milton Friedman, Friedrich Hayek, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, and Ludwig von Mises — who were generally associated with the American political right in the mid-twentieth century. But in fact libertarianism was born in the nineteenth century (not the twentieth), and was first developed in Britain and France (not the United States). And as Matt Zwolinski emphasizes in his monumental intellectual history of libertarianism, The Individualists (co-authored with John Tomasi), libertarianism is better thought of as a cluster of related concepts than a unitary doctrine. It's true that most libertarians historically have been concerned with the defense of individual autonomy, property rights, free markets, and personal liberty against state coercion. But the first individual to self-identify as a “libertarian” was the nineteenth-century French anarcho-communist Joseph Déjacque, and libertarianism as it developed often took radical and left-leaning forms, particularly through its association with the abolitionist movement in America in the years before the Civil War. In this podcast conversation, Matt Zwolinski (a philosophy professor at the University of San Diego) discusses his investigations into the intellectual history of libertarianism as well as his analysis of the longstanding tensions between radical and reactionary elements within the philosophy. He describes post-Cold War “third wave libertarianism” taking both right-wing expression (in the form of paleolibertarianism) as well as more radical forms (including left-libertarianism and “bleeding-heart libertarianism.”) And he suggests reasons why many libertarians see more potential in combating poverty through Universal Basic Income grants rather than through more traditional government-administered antipoverty programs.

Hello, today we begin discussing Herbert Marcuse's "One-Dimensional Man", which you could say offers a critical critique of society in the mid 20th century. He's an avowed neo-marxist and historical materialist, and Antooshka can't quite figure out how to feel about him.

Is libertarianism a progressive doctrine, or a reactionary one? Does libertarianism promise to liberate the poor and the marginalized from the yoke of state oppression, or does talk of "equal liberty" obscure the ways in which libertarian doctrines serve the interests of the rich and powerful?  Through an examination of the history of libertarianism, The Individualists: Radicals, Reactionaries, and the Struggle for the Soul of Libertarianism (Princeton University Press, 2023) argues that the answer is (and always has been): both. In this book, the authors explore the neglected 19th century roots of libertarianism to show that it emerged first as a radical and progressive doctrine. Libertarianism took a conservative turn in the 20th century primarily as a reaction against the rise of state socialism. Now, with international communism no longer a threat, libertarianism is in the midst of an identity crisis, with progressive and reactionary elements struggling to claim the doctrine as their own, most notably on issues of race. This book tells the history of libertarianism through an examination of six defining themes: private property, skepticism of authority, free markets, individualism, spontaneous order, and individual liberty.  Matt Zwolinski is professor of philosophy at the University of San Diego, where he is director of the Center for Ethics, Economics, and Public Policy.  John Tomasi is president of Heterodox Academy in New York City.

Wednessday BriefingSal, Stacy Rush

This week I continue the conversation with Leeann and Michelle. Blending humor, motherhood, and the Enneagram, Leeann and Michelle show how they approach self-awareness and personal growth with lightheartedness and compassion towards themselves and others. Tune in through the end of the show to hear the advice they each share for processing big emotions. With backgrounds in commercial acting, television news, and comedy – Leeann and Michelle are a firehouse combination. You recognize them from their viral hits like, “Look What Joanna Made Me Do,” “If You’re My Friend Then You’d Buy This,” and “The Diet.” The success of videos like those fuels their passion to create great comedy in many mediums; parodies, sketch humor and live shows. Leeann & Michelle have attracted 40 million views of their videos, and have received national attention from USA Today, The New York Times, TODAY and Southern Living. Leeann & Michelle routinely appear in local media, sell out their improv shows, and have even earned the adoration of the one and only, Joanna Gaines. Between shoots, you can find Leeann & Michelle sweating it out in Phoenix, AZ. Leeann is likely cleaning or organizing her home (again), while Michelle is avoiding laundry. You can watch more of Leeann and Michelle on YouTube.  **If you love this episode and want to hear more about Fours and Eights, listen to Tori Kelly and Andre Murillo discuss the role the Enneagram plays in understanding their friends and family, respecting each other’s strengths, and navigating their emotions.

I sit down with Jodi Dykstra and Brendon Enders, both Enneagram 4s, who share all of their experiences as Individualists and Romantics.  They talk about being in touch with their own emotions and wishing others were too, the push-pull of being accepted vs. being unique, and the way that creativity and artistry has played a role in their lives. We also talk about the movie phenomenon...the idea that Enneagram 4s see the world around them like a movie and their lives as a role within it...plus they share their best advice for other Enneagram 4s out there and their best advice for loving an Enneagram 4 well.

Fours are considered the Individualists or the Romantics of the Enneagram. Why do Fours seem to delve into places of shame and sorrow more quickly than others, and why is there so much variety and stereotyping going on with them as well? What are they like in marriage, and most importantly, what can they do to be at the best individually and in their families and relationships? Join in for a talk on all things beloved Enneagram Four including wings, subtypes, and type-by-type relationship pairings!

Ready for the most special unicorn type of all time?? Well, it's the Four, but don't tell them there are more than one of them! Jk. We love our Individualists! The Romantic, or Individualist, needs to be special. They’re in touch with ALL the feels and have an impressive emotional range. They can be melancholic and moody, and their basic fear is of being perceived as ordinary. Fours are creative and uber-expressive. In relationships, they can be melodramatic and high-maintenance, but also incredibly empathic and comfortable dealing with hard stuff. If you need someone just to sit and hold space for you, call a healthy Four.Just in case you may have missed some of our other discussions or want to refresh your memory, check out this list of episodes: The Enneagram (overview)Enneagram and Relationships (w/ Sarajane Case)Becoming Your Own Guru e-course audio files (Patreon)Prefer to read?

Our Enneagram series continues with another type who rounds out the heart triad: the beautifully complex Type Fours (also known as The Romantics). To lead us on all things Type Four, we have an incredible returning guest: a Four himself, Ian Morgan Cron. Ian wears many hats—Enneagram expert, author of The Road Back to You, host of Typology Podcast, priest and psychotherapist, to name a few—and his Fourness is revealed in his beautiful, open posture toward humanity. He walks us through how Fours believe that they have an “unredeemable deficiency,” how they feel a little different and off-center, and have a vague dissatisfaction with themselves. Typically seen as the most complex of all the Enneagram numbers, Fours seek to be special in some way to fill this inner void, and the road to being a healthy Four is when they realize that “specialness” isn’t their sole path to being loved. Ian shares personally his experience that the superpower of a Four is emotional intuitiveness and empathy; Fours are equipped to come alongside people in their dark moments and walk through the suffering with them, and they tend to gravitate towards spaces in which they can uniquely contribute to conversation. Conversely, Fours in conflict tend to withdraw, and Ian shares how they can be lovingly drawn out. And don’t forget to stick around until the end to hear from composer Ryan O’Neal (AKA Sleeping At Last), who shares his process for crafting a music piece as uniquely complex as Type Fours.

Is your 'me' a 'we'? It's an important question! This episode is the first of two looking at key differences in the ways people from different cultures think, feel, and make decisions - how they act and react. Today we focus on that core question: What does your 'me' look like? An individual? Or a group? Individualists include most of the people in Europe and North America, but they actually make up a small part of the world's population. Most (over 90%) of the people on the planet are collectivists.This means that, as our country grows, it will be growing largely through collectivists. And if our churches are to grow, they too will likely grow through collectivists - so learning about each other is vitally important.This episode draws on the work of the late Geert Hofstede, and, once again, the insights of Damber Khadka.Support the show

In this Episode 5, we have discussed about the personality types 4: The Individualists, 5: The Investigators and 6: The Loyalists. We also dealt with, How we can identify a Person's Personality type with a specific phrase or similar phrases when used. What's the best of being a Type 6 and what's little troublesome being a Type 5 for that matter about all three personality types and how a person with specific personality type behaves and acts in a given situation. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/omkara-cheetrala/message

Resolving conflict and how the Enneagram can helpWelcome to another week of EnneaTalk Tuesday! This week’s episode is all about a very important topic—conflict resolution. I discuss how the Enneagram can be used to have compassion and a positive understanding of others in order to move forward with a resolution. I share the three different categories of personality types and how the Enneagram types fall under each one. The Enneagram can help give you a better understanding of those around you and how each person might deal with issues differently.Listen to this episode to learn tools to resolve conflict in the workplace and home, how each type handles pressure and stress, what everyone can bring to the table, and how to come to a solution that leaves everyone feeling seen, heard, and understood. Listen nowUsing conflict to bring people togetherConflict is not always bad—it is not always easy to address but understanding strategies to find a solution can actually be beneficial and empowering to everyone. It is important to first understand yourself and how you react to issues in order to truly understand others around you and how to productively resolve problems that arise. The three harmonic personality typesThere are three harmonic personality types that help inform how each Enneagram type handles conflict. I discuss how each type falls under these categories, and how it is important to have one person from each harmonic type when in the workplace or on a team. I go over the strengths of each group when in health, what they bring to the table in terms of reaching a solution, and how they can bring out the best in others during times of stress. Using your Enneagram type to help find solutionsI talk about how the Enneagram can be used to understand your own coping mechanisms, and how the way we view conflict comes from how we reacted and protected ourselves from it at a young age. In order to grow as a leader at home and in the workplace, it is crucial to develop the right tools and compassion for others.While there are people who have taken years to understand themselves and the different strategies that can be implemented to resolve issues, it doesn’t have to take that long for you. I am here to help you find your true Enneagram type and help use this information to build a positive environment where conflict is resolved, and everyone feels seen, heard, and understood. “Conflict isn’t always bad.” 1:40“Conflict actually can empower parties and people involved to increase their understanding of each other and move forward in a way that benefits everyone.” 2:04“In order to keep conflict positive and solution focused, it’s helpful to know how others react under stress.” 2:33“For the Positive Outlook Triad, the types that fall into this category are types 2 The Helper, type 7 The Enthusiast, and type 9 The Peacemaker.” 4:44“The Competency Triad—these are types 1 The Reformer/Perfectionist, 3 The Achiever, and 5 The Investigator.” 6:21“My fellow Emotional Realness people—these are Enneagram types 4 The Individualists, 6 The Loyalist, and 8 The Challengers.” 8:09“With all 3 of these groups, if we can always remember what’s in it for the greater, bigger picture, how is it a win-win for everyone, that’s where magic happens.” 10:01“In each of these harmonic groups, at your highest level of expression, it brings gifts to conflict resolution.” 10:19“Drawing on the strengths of your own style while integrating the gifts of the other two, that’s where you’re bulletproof.” 11:31“My advice to you is knowing your type and knowing it right.” 12:20

Throughout your life, have you felt there was a part of you missing as if you were incomplete? Has a major struggle in your life been finding your unique voice and persona? Do emotions really swing you from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows? Well, if you can relate with any of these desires and traits, there’s a chance you might be an Enneagram Type 4. In this episode, we continue the Enneagram series by learning more about our Type 4 friends: the Individualists. I bring on my cousin Ezekiel Teo, who identifies as a Type 4, to share about they view life as a Type 4. Find a step-by-step guide on how to find your Enneagram number by clicking here.

Sean and Seth discuss Donnie Darko, Enneagram Type 4 , New Wave, high school and dark lipstick with Leslie and Hope, two self-identified “Individualists”.

This week I want to discuss how Individualists are painting themselves into a corner by protecting themselves against the onslaught of Progressive attacks. It is a classic case of the Prisoner's Dilemma, where both sides are best off cooperating but one side is doing whatever it can to win. As such, if the other party does nothing they will face maximum punishment. The GOP is being forced to defend people who might, in some situations, be beyond defending. This is ripe for exploitation.

We live in a country divided upon two fronts, that of the Statists and that of the Individualists. The Kavanaugh confirmation has widened this gap, and shows the danger that lies ahead. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columnists/brett-kavanaughs-nomination-to-the-supreme-court-will-radicalize-the-democratic-party https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2018/10/crazed_leftist_tweet_about_ruining_kavanaugh_gives_the_lefts_game_away.html

For those who are new to the Enneagram or to what life is like as an Enneagram Four, let me just give a 50,000-foot fly-by of the Enneagram Four.  Fours, called the Individualists, sometimes called the Romantics or the Tragic Romantics, these are folks who have a sense that they carry within themselves some deficiency--some irredeemable deficiency--a missing piece in their essential makeup that they can't quite name. It actually elicits or brings up in them this kind of inconsolable longing for the un-nameable missing piece that they're trying to find and recover so that they can feel a part of the world. They feel as though they're disqualified from belonging because they're different from other people. And so, this launches them on a lifelong quest, usually early on with the struggling low self-esteem, I've never met a Four who told me that that was not an issue for them. And their passion, or their deadly sin, is Envy.  So, what is it that Fours? Fours envy the normalcy, the happiness, and the apparent ease with which other people seem to move in the world. We just look at other people and think they just haven't suffered as much as we have. We just have this perception that other people have had an easier time of it in this life. And that can sometimes give us a little bit of superiority, almost, because we also become addicted to our suffering if we're not careful. It becomes the core of our identity--the tragic story of the past that we don't know how to divorce ourselves from, and even if we could who would we be without it, without that tragic story? God, we'd be ordinary, which of course points to the underlying motivation of the Four which is a compulsive need to be unique and special as a strategy to compensate for what we perceive to be this irredeemable deficiency. To best illustrate the ways that Fours are unique, even from each other, I brought in a panel of Fours for this week's show. The thing I love about panels is it's so much better for people to learn about these different types, these archetypes of the Enneagram, straight from the mouths of those who live in the shoes of those different styles of being in the world. Fours are the most misunderstood number on the Enneagram in general. So, tune in as Sandra McCracken, Megan Miller, Matthew Perryman Jones, and Don Chaffer join us in studio to talk about all things Four.

This is episode 7 on the Enneagram, with a focus on the so-called "heart" or "image" types — the 2s (Helpers), 3s (Achievers), and 4s (Individualists). The Enneagram, which focuses on personal and spiritual growth, is one of the most well developed models of personality out there. Although not a scientific model, it has been used effectively by theologians, spiritual directors, therapists, laypeople, and a number of others to articulate what drives us, and what might lead to greater wholeness, awareness and fulfillment. A number of sources form the backbone of this series: “The Enneagram” (Richard Rohr), “The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram” (Sandra Maitri), “The Enneagram of Passions and Virtues” (Sandra Maitri), “The Complete Enneagram” (Beatrice Chestnut) and “The Road Back to You” (Ian Morgan Cron & Suzanne Stabile).    

James Howard Kunstler speaks about the role of generalists in a world of hyper specialists. Although hyper-specialists are experts in their narrow fields, their work is often disregardful of the larger picture. Traffic engineers, for example, can move huge numbers of cars extremely efficiently, using fine-tuned formulas for curve ratios and grades, but their final product often makes downtowns un-walkable for pedestrians. A sense of hyper-individualism in U.S. culture is another obstacle that stands in the way of thinking about our society and its problems in general terms. At the close of the show, a listener shares his thoughts on the vibrant center city of Philadelphia.
