https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkOadbwUP5s Podcast audio: America is a country that prizes freedom and the rule of law. Yet every day, we hear news of ICE raids on construction sites, Venezuelans shipped to foreign prisons without hearings, and sports tattoos treated as proof of criminality. As Agustina Vergara Cid warns in “Immigration Enforcement and the Betrayal of Due Process,” Americans have been turning a blind eye to this lawless, even authoritarian treatment. Delivered at the 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference, her talk is now available online. While the Trump administration's immigration crackdown has made the headlines recently, Vergara Cid shows that the same lawlessness has spanned decades. The Obama administration, notorious for its record deportations, simply carried forward policies Congress had long codified. Trump's crackdowns threaten to further erode due process, which Vergara Cid identifies as the crucial legal safeguard which “stands between you and authoritarianism.” Today's victims are peaceful immigrants; tomorrow, the target could be any American who dares to challenge the state. Among the topics covered: The immigration crackdown's flagrant violation of due process; Why everyone should care about due process; How our authoritarian immigration system became normalized; How, despite the bleak reality, America still welcomes immigrants; Q&A: How to speak up in defense of a free immigration system. (Since recording, the men sent to El Salvador's CECOT were released to Venezuela in a prisoner swap on July 18, 2025, after four months of imprisonment. Several now allege torture, and at least one alleges sexual assault.) This podcast was recorded live on July 5th in Boston, MA as part of OCON 2025.

Quels sont les chantiers à venir ? On en débat aujourd'hui ! L'équipe de Pole Position fait le point également sur le GP de Hongrie 2025 au Hungaroring, après le format sprint avant les qualifications et la course.

Where do Formula 1 teams spot the drivers of the future? What are they looking for in young racers? And how did Mercedes guide Kimi Antonelli from karting to F1?     F1 Explains explores junior driver programmes, which exist to find talented young drivers and support them as they climb the motorsport ladder.   Most F1 teams have these academies. Red Bull signed a young Max Verstappen, Ferrari supported Charles Leclerc and Oliver Bearman, Lando Norris was part of the McLaren programme, and Mercedes developed George Russell, Kimi Antonelli and Esteban Ocon during their junior racing.   F1 ACADEMY leader Doriane Pin is also part of the Mercedes Junior Driver Programme. She tells Christian Hewgill how Mercedes spotted her and answers your questions on what the team is doing to support her career.   The Mercedes programme is led by Gwen Lagrue, the man who discovered Russell, Antonelli and Ocon. Gwen explains how he identifies those with the most potential, guides them into junior car racing and decides when they are ready to step up to Formula 3, F2 and, finally, F1.  Get your question answered on the podcast Send your voice notes and emails to F1Explains@F1.com It's All To Drive For in 2025.

Ben Bayer joins Five Minutes with Robert & Amy Nasir LIVE, to discuss his 2025 OCON talk, "America Should Declare Independence from Altruism". We'll ask Dr. Bayer about the State Of The (Moral/Philosophical) Union, how the response to the 2000 pandemic made starkly clear the common moral framework of both America's "left" and "right", why, in Ben's words, "as the right becomes so similar to the left, it is so hostile" to it.  We'll also discuss the decline of "Effective Altruism" and "Longtermism", and why Ayn Rand's morality of self-interest is essential in resolving these failures, injustices, and contradictions.

Esteban Ocon has quietly become one of the most compelling stories of the season. Climb the ladder with me on Patreon: https://patreon.com/lawvsDespite his low-key presence, Ocon has already matched his points tally from his last year with Alpine with races to spare, while settling into a much more supportive and responsive environment. This video breaks down why Ocon's move to Haas could be the best decision of his career and how his partnership with race engineer Laura Mueller has become one of the most positive in the paddock. Also Toyota's technical partnership is about to take both team and driver to new heights thanks to even more collaboration between them in regards to the use of Fuji Speedway. Did Ocon get out of Alpine's team culture at the right time? It simply makes the dramatic difference at Haas all the more stark. That being said, could he relapse into the Ocon of old and potentially cause fireworks with Oliver Bearman and others? Well, I personnaly doubt that but...never say never.#f1 #estebanocon #formula1 #formulaone #haas #haasf1team #haasf1 #oliverbearman #ocon #alpinef1 #alpine #alpinef1team #pierregasly #f1news #f1latest #f12025 #f1updates #f1drama Esteban Ocon's redemption arc has begunhttps://youtu.be/E8Z7EtNh5iwCan't watch the ladder?

https://youtu.be/9PCQRzAMohQ Podcast audio: As the Ayn Rand Institute marks its 40th anniversary, its mission to spread Objectivism through education has never been more urgent. In his 2025 Objectivist Summer Conference presentation, "Spreading Objectivism: A Vision for ARI's Future," President and CEO Tal Tsfany laid out a bold vision of the “big swings” ARI is taking to bring Objectivism into the cultural mainstream. At the heart of this expansion are major advances in ARI's educational offerings. Tsfany announced that ARI is ahead of schedule in pursuing accreditation for a Master of Arts in Objectivist Studies, aiming to become an accredited university by 2028. Meanwhile, the new ARI Live Courses program will offer quarterly classes at dramatically reduced prices. And a newly launched Intellectual Incubator will help students develop as intellectual entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, ARI is scaling its cultural outreach. The Books for Teachers program aims to distribute 500,000 books annually by 2026 utilizing a  streamlined ordering system. Supporting this outreach is a new AI-enabled Institute website launching this fall, which will provide personalized learning tracks for 750,000 annual visitors. To further Rand's vision of an alliance between businessmen and intellectuals, ARI launched the Atlas Circle, invitation-only intellectual retreats bringing together leading businessmen and Objectivist thinkers. The Circle's first publication, Profit Without Apology: The Need to Stand Up for Business, calls on productive businessmen to push back against moral vilification. ARI's crowning project will be the Ayn Rand Center in Austin, TX, opening September 2, 2028. In addition to improved archival storage for the Ayn Rand Archives, the center will feature a cutting-edge interactive introduction to Rand's novels, the Ayn Rand Immersive Experience. As Tsfany emphasized, these bold initiatives represent the unity of thought and action that Rand envisioned, scaled for our time. To learn more about ARI's efforts to fight for your values, watch Tal Tsfany's 2025 OCON talk.

En este episodio de La Pulidora, tuvimos el placer de conversar con Rafa Ocon, profesional experimentado en el sector del parquet, que reside en Velez Malaga ,sobre cómo ha cambiado el comportamiento de los clientes en los últimos años. A continuación, compartimos los puntos más destacados de esta enriquecedora charla. Si no te quieres perder ningún capítulo de La Pulidora, el primer y posiblemente único podcast que habla de parquet, apúntate a nuestra newsletter y cada semana te mandaremos un email con todo el contenido que publiquemos. Transformación en la búsqueda de referencias Una de las transformaciones más significativas ha sido la forma en que los clientes buscan referencias y contratan servicios. Las reseñas online han adquirido un papel fundamental en la decisión de compra, con clientes que investigan minuciosamente la reputación de los profesionales antes de contratarlos. Rafa destaca cómo este cambio ha obligado a los profesionales a cuidar su imagen digital y a solicitar activamente reseñas positivas de clientes satisfechos. Cambios en las propinas y valoración del trabajo Rafa señala una clara tendencia a la baja en lo que respecta a las propinas. Mientras que anteriormente era común recibir propinas por diversos trabajos, actualmente esta práctica ha disminuido considerablemente. Esto puede atribuirse en parte a la situación económica actual, donde los clientes ya consideran que los precios son elevados. La cultura del regateo Una práctica que se ha extendido es el regateo, incluso por cantidades relativamente pequeñas. Rafa compartió una anécdota donde un cliente insistió en reducir 200€ de un presupuesto de 7.200€, obligándole a reducir su margen de mano de obra para no perder el trabajo. Esta mentalidad de "regateo de Wallapop", como la describe Rafa, se ha trasladado a servicios profesionales donde el margen ya es ajustado, a diferencia de otros sectores como la venta de automóviles o grandes superficies donde los márgenes comerciales son mayores. El cliente "sin horarios" Otro aspecto destacado fue la falta de respeto por los horarios laborales. Los clientes suelen contactar en horarios intempestivos, fines de semana o muy tarde por la noche, esperando respuesta inmediata incluso para asuntos que podrían esperar al siguiente día laboral. Como solución, Rafa ha implementado el uso de dos líneas telefónicas diferentes, pudiendo desconectar la línea de trabajo fuera del horario laboral. Esta práctica le ha permitido establecer límites más saludables entre su vida personal y profesional. La competencia de las grandes superficies Rafa enfatiza la importancia de destacar las ventajas de contratar a profesionales especializados frente a grandes superficies comerciales. Mientras los centros comerciales venden solo el material sin garantía de instalación, los profesionales ofrecen un servicio integral con productos de calidad y conocimiento especializado. Adaptación a condiciones climáticas extremas En el episodio también se abordaron los desafíos de trabajar durante los meses de verano, especialmente en la instalación de suelos. Una solución práctica mencionada fue el uso de aires acondicionados portátiles durante la instalación, similar a como se utilizan estufas en invierno. Contacto Para aquellos interesados en contactar con Rafa Ocon, pueden encontrarlo como "Torre Parquet" (con "qu") en todas las plataformas, incluyendo Instagram y su página web oficial. Conclusión Este episodio ofrece una visión realista de los cambios en las expectativas y comportamientos de los clientes en el sector del parquet. Adaptarse a estas nuevas dinámicas mientras se mantiene la calidad del servicio es el desafío actual para los profesionales del sector. No olvides suscribirte a La Pulidora para más contenido sobre el mundo del parquet y los suelos de madera.

OCON Sur se desmanteló, por sorpresa y sin previo aviso, en septiembre de 2022. Casi tres años después, nadie ha asumido en primera persona su final.

Estamos de suerte porque, a pesar de que la carrera de F1 en Canadá no fue estratosférica, bien es cierto que fue más que decente. A lo que hay que añadirle una preciosa edición de las 24 de Lemans y una memorable carrera en la Indy en Bommarito. Así que hemos tenido un gran fin de semana de motor que toca analizar, bien a fondo, esta semana en el Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1. Gran victoria de Russell. En Canadá gran victoria impecable de Russell, que logró un Hat Trick, seguido del que siempre está, Verstappen, y de Antonelli, que firmó su primer podio en F1 con 18 añitos, mostrando gran solidez al resistir la presión de los McLaren durante buena parte de la carrera. Excelente rendimiento, por tanto, de Mercedes. Carrera que tuvo muchas cosas, sobre todo, estrategia, algunos buenos adelantamientos, muchas investigaciones, polémicas y hasta choque de compañeros de equipos, ni más ni menos que en McLaren. Por supuesto, también la FIA puso su picante que, esta vez, quedó en nada. Los dos españoles, Alonso y Sainz, recogieron puntos, lo que siempre hace que la carrera se vea mejor. Decisiones estratégicas. La carrera estuvo marcada, como decimos, por la gestión de neumáticos, las decisiones estratégicas en boxes y por una gran variedad de sanciones e incidentes. Mientras algunos equipos apostaron por una sola parada, otros no pudieron evitar las dos, lo que abrió un amplio abanico táctico. La parada temprana de Verstappen en la vuelta 13 marcó una pauta, y pilotos como Albon y Leclerc protagonizaron momentos polémicos por radio debido a decisiones de equipo (que ellos consideraron) cuestionables. El comportamiento de los equipos dio para mucho, al ser tan diverso: Mercedes acertó de pleno, mientras que McLaren mostró gran ritmo pero arriesgó innecesariamente al final, lo que derivó en un toque entre Norris y Piastri a solo tres vueltas del final. Este incidente generó controversia, ya que solo se sancionó con cinco segundos a Norris y sin puntos de penalización, al considerar la FIA que no tuvo mayores consecuencias. La acción fue criticada por el equipo, que cuestionó si valía la pena comprometer la carrera de ambos coches por esa maniobra. Ferrari, frustración de ambos lados. Ferrari tuvo un rendimiento desigual, con Leclerc claramente frustrado con su estrategia. Hamilton se llevó para adelante a una marmota y rompió el suelo, lo que destrozó también su carrera. RB y Aston Martin pasaron más desapercibidos, pero Alonso consiguió sumar puntos… y terminó muy contento, sobre todo por el rendimiento del coche en la clasificación del sábado. Sainz, por su parte, más decepcionado, pues parece que el coche tenían un problema y desde el equipo no le dejaban apretar más… finalmente, fue décimo, mientras su compañero tuvo que abandonar. El “espectáculo” post carrera. La carrera también estuvo salpicada por sanciones postcarrera, como la de Stroll por su maniobra con Gasly (10 segundos y dos puntos en el carnet) y la advertencia generalizada a los que adelantaron con coche de seguridad. Al final no hubo penalizaciones, como hubiera sido correcto siguiendo el reglamento, entre otras cosas porque parece que ninguno de los pilotos involucrados conoce el reglamento adecuadamente y fue una situación excepcional. También el caso de Ocon, con un brake test a Sainz, quedó sin sanción. En resumen: GP de Canadá interesante por las estrategias, pero no excesivamente espectacular. Eso sí, con mucha, mucha polémica y mucho que debatir y analizar. Y si hay que escoger algo del Gran Premio, nos quedamos con el doble podio de Mercedes, la consistencia de Russell y la firmeza de Antonelli. Y, como no, con el inefable caso Verstappen: con un coche bastante peor que los McLaren (y los Mercedes) y a punto de cumplir una sanción por puntos en la licencia, y el tío se marca, una vez más, una soberbia carrera y un podio. Ahí sigue, en la lucha por el título sin nadie que le ayude. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Mercedes volvió a liderar una carrera de principio a fin con un Russell dominante, sin errores y controlando cada vuelta. ¿Es este el verdadero regreso del equipo alemán?Verstappen, consistente y táctico, ejecutó dos undercuts clave para contener a Kimi Antonelli, quien firmó su primer podio en Formula 1 tras una gran arrancada y un duelo inteligente contra Max. Red Bull, eso sí, protestó contra Russell por maniobras detrás del safety car… ¿con o sin fundamento?La tensión estalló en McLaren. A pocas vueltas del final, Norris y Piastri se tocan luchando por posición. El resultado: puntos perdidos, disculpas públicas de Lando y un mensaje claro de que la pelea por el campeonato ya no es cordial. ¿Se pudo evitar? ¿Quién tuvo la culpa? Lo analizamos a fondo.Ferrari, una vez más, lejos de los líderes. Leclerc discutió con su ingeniero sobre si seguir con el Plan B o C, mientras Sainz y Ocon rescataron puntos con una estrategia agresiva de parada. Buen resultado para Alonso en P7 y otro sólido P8 para Hülkenberg.Así va el campeonato de pilotos:Piastri 198 pts / Norris 176 / Verstappen 155 / Russell 136 / Leclerc 104En Pregúntale a Memo, hablamos de la presión mental de Norris, si necesita apoyo psicológico deportivo, y si debe cumplir su penalización de 5 segundos en la próxima carrera.

https://youtu.be/iVJOTxv-tWk Podcast audio: American schools have long performed dismally at providing the education children need to read well. A movement in favor of systematic phonics instruction offers hope for improvement, but while phonics is essential to teaching children to read, they need further education to become highly capable readers. This talk by Sam Weaver defines a properly aspirational goal for reading education, explores the types of knowledge and skills that go into reading, and identifies key areas beyond phonics where American schools must improve if students are to achieve a high level of literacy. Recorded live on June 17 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/o615h8druDE Podcast audio: The creation of the atom bomb during WWII was an extraordinary achievement, dramatized in part in the movie Oppenheimer. What were the three greatest challenges in making the bomb and how does the success in overcoming those very difficult obstacles illustrate the application of objectivity? Which great scientists' work were most essential to the success of the project? As Ayn Rand said of Apollo 11, the Manhattan Project was “an achievement of reason, of logic, of mathematics, of total dedication to the absolutism of reality.” Recorded live on June 18 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/RclwB5luKek Podcast audio: Ayn Rand denounced racism as “the lowest, most crudely primitive form of collectivism.” She also rejected as collectivist many of the measures being advocated to combat this evil, including what became the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On the sixtieth anniversary of that law, Dr. Greg Salmieri revisited the themes of Rand's classic article “Racism,” relating them to present-day America. Topics include the definitions of “race” and “racism,” how the rejection of free will incline intellectuals toward racism, how superficially opposed racist doctrines on the political left and right embolden one another, in what respects racism can be “institutional” or “systemic,” how statist policies (including provisions of the Civil Rights Act) perpetuate existing racial inequities, and why it is only by embracing capitalism that we can put racism and its legacies behind us. Recorded live on June 18 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/2yQWRvrbVUI Podcast audio: Foreign policy is both a political activity and a field of applied ethics. However, the metaphysical and epistemological premises held by theorists and practitioners shape their view of ethics. The lack of an objective view of the world has led to theories and policies that do not support, and are often harmful to, the role of a proper government. However, as Scott McDonald explains, an objective understanding of the global system can lead to a first-handed foreign policy. Recorded live on June 14 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/7Wjrmh8CjAk Podcast audio: As a historian and philosopher of biology, much of Dr. James Lennox's research has focused on the philosophical foundations of history's two greatest biologists: Aristotle and Charles Darwin. Historians and philosophers often portray these two giants as diametrically opposed in their approach to the study of life. But were they? In this talk, he provides a novel answer to that question — and guidance on how to engage with such questions objectively. Recorded live on June 18 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/sNtIs4UmXns Podcast audio: The most pernicious ideas are often injected into the culture by the method of “package-dealing” — the attempt to integrate the unintegratable. Expanding on previous material he has presented on this subject, Mr. Peter Schwartz offers a more advanced analysis of the mechanics of the package-deal. He addresses such questions as: Can the same word stand for both a valid concept and a package-deal? What is the role of a definition in the formation of package-deals? What is the difference between anti-concepts and package-deals? This talk focuses particularly on the telltale signs one should look for in trying to identify a package-deal. Recorded live on June 15 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/Ff78OyGNA40 Podcast audio: This sample class by Gena Gorlin is based on the full-length ARU course of the same name. The full course explores the major schools of thought, methods of inquiry, and empirical findings taught in a typical introduction to psychology course. But it explores how to understand and evaluate these theories, methods, and findings from an Objectivist perspective. Students learn how Objectivism can help us consume and get personal value from existing work in psychology, even when it is deeply flawed philosophically. The sample class will feature a selection of topics drawn from the full ARU course. Recorded live on June 16 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/oMFbMFvDJ50 Podcast audio: In this talk, Dr. Amesh Adalja details innovative new developments in science that will enhance the lives of individuals. Topics include transplantation of pig hearts and kidneys into humans, cell-based therapies for cancer, genetically modified mosquitoes, new vaccines and vaccine technologies, AI-discovered antibiotics, CRISPR therapeutics, and more. Recorded live on June 15 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/79fT9VIDkVs Podcast audio: As Ayn Rand wrote, “The concept of individual rights is so prodigious a feat of political thinking that few men grasp it fully—and two hundred years have not been enough for other countries to understand it.” We can see this failure of understanding in the view, advanced by many conservatives and libertarians today, that the concept of individual rights ultimately derives from or is at least consistent with the Judeo-Christian morality. In this talk, Ben Bayer explores some highlights of the history of the concept to understand why it is essentially a secular innovation, even when thinkers who helped advance it held Christian views. He especially focuses on how Enlightenment views of human nature and knowledge helped untether “rights” discourse from its antecedents in religious thought. Recorded live on June 17 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/UaRhK2N8m6Y Podcast audio: A continuation of Dr. Harry Binswanger's Saving Math from Plato (OCON 2023): how the Aristotelian, perception-based approach to mathematics refutes or re-interprets wrong ideas advanced by figures such as Russell and Cantor. Topics include number, infinity, limits, and the axiomatic concepts of mathematics. (The lecture assumes no knowledge of mathematics beyond beginning algebra.) Recorded live on June 16 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/RKtLU6ntECU Podcast audio: “Socratic Wisdom” — knowing our own ignorance — is the ability to differentiate what we do not know from what we do. This is a key component of objectivity, vital for properly weighing and implementing the knowledge we possess and directing ongoing investigation and inquiry. In this talk, Jason Rheins discusses the nature and importance of this introspective clarity and how it is achieved. He covers practical methods and specific tips for identifying our ignorance and differentiating it from our knowledge. Recorded live on June 18 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

Tremendo y sorprendente fin de semana de motor el que hemos vivido en la semana pasada. Casi todos esperábamos una carrera regular en Baréin, después de haber corrido allí los equipos en pretemporada y nada más lejos de la realidad. En el primer episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 se analiza todo el fin de semana, con especial atención a una carrera que nos hizo levantar del asiento en múltiples ocasiones. Interesante clasificación y carrera reñida. Clasificación bastante interesante el sábado. Y el domingo, la carrera, a pesar de ser ganada por el poleman, estuvo muy abierta y disputada, además, en casi todas las partes de la parrilla. Vimos adelantamientos, mucha estrategia inesperada y comportamiento dispar de las gomas en muchos coches, lo que hizo que el GP fuera interesante hasta la última vuelta. Además, tiene mucho morbo ver a Piastri cómo se está imponiendo a un Lando Norris, que cometió errores y que no está a gusto con el coche. ¿Es el australiano ahora mismo líder claro del equipo? Verstappen, como siempre. Mala carrera para su equipo, pero al final minimizó daños hasta la última vuelta de carrera, con un 6º, si no que se lo cuenten a Pierre Gasly. Y Tsunoda termina 9º, en los puntos tras tan sólo dos carreras y con un coche que no es lo que fue. En cuanto a los españoles, Alonso sigue arrastrándose con un coche que tiene pocos visos de mejorar ni ser competitivo en ningún momento de la temporada. Esperemos que esto no sea cierto. Sainz empezó bien el sábado, superando a Albon, pero en carrera, quizás, tan sólo quizá, sobreactuó bastante y tuvo que abandonar con el coche destrozado. Cómo está el mundial. Llevamos tan sólo 4 carreras, 3 de ellas en manos de McLaren, y, claro, el Mundial de equipos tiene un claro líder: McLaren, con 151 puntos sobre los 93 de Mercedes, los 71 de Red Bull y los 57 de Ferrari. Tras ellos, Haas (20), Williams (19), Aston Martin (10 y todos de Stroll), Racing Bulls (7) y Alpine y Sauber (6 puntos ambos). En cuanto a los pilotos, aquí sí que el mundial está más reñido. El líder es Norris, con 77 puntos, seguido de cerca por su compañero (74), Verstappen (69) y Russell, que no se queda muy atrás (63). El top ten, pero ya alejados de los puestos de cabeza, lo completan Leclerc (32), Antonelli (30), Hamilton (25), Albon (18), Ocon (14) y Stroll (10). La parte baja de la tabla de pilotos la ocupan Gasly, Hulkenberg y Bearman, con 6 puntos cada uno; Tsunoda (5), Hadjar (4) y Sainz (1).

AUSSIE, AUSSIE, AUSSIE.....Forget the Lando era, the Piastri party is just getting started. Have Ferrari turned a corner? Leclerc looked solid, but more woes for Hamilton, how long before we see a turn of fortune or will it be an early packup for 2026? Gasly and Alpine have awoken, Doohan showed his potential and it looks a repeat of last year, how far up the grid will they end? And Haas have bounced back, looking to be best of the rest with a settled Ocon and a hungry Bearman. All the plus much much more on this week's episode of BTRL.

Oscar Piastri hat sich in Bahrain die zweite Pole-Position seiner Formel-1-Karriere gesichert. Der McLaren-Pilot verwies George Russell im Mercedes auf den zweiten Platz. Dritter wurde Charles Leclerc im Ferrari.

https://youtu.be/-c6W8JuZsVo Podcast audio: Oppression and authoritarianism have been constant themes in regimes that ruled in the name of Marxism. From the Soviet Union to Cuba and from Yugoslavia to China, individual rights were ignored and violently suppressed. Is such anti-individualism a feature or a bug in Marxism? What about Marx himself? How did he view the individual? Was he the one who planted the seed for the future orgy of anti-individualist violence that has been perpetrated in his name? Nikos Sotirakopoulos tackles these questions in this talk from OCON 2024. Recorded live on June 15 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/093vQKWPwvs Podcast audio: Objectivity is the key to avoiding misunderstandings and making one-to-one conversations productive. There are two contexts of knowledge, two value hierarchies, and two “crows” to consider to communicate effectively. In this talk from OCON 2024, Jean Moroney covers the topics: what constitutes subjective vs. objective goals for a conversation, the need to manage emotions as they arise rather than shut them down, and how doing this effectively by “holding all of the values with care” can get a conversation back on track and help you deal objectively with another person's real or apparent irrationality. Recorded live on June 14 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/8wKAKmydUlg Podcast audio: Johann Wolfgang Goethe's dramatic poem Faust is a monumental work of Romantic literature that presents one man's ceaseless striving to transcend the limitations of human knowledge and experience. By exploring some of the most profound and moving passages from the poem, this talk by Nicolas Krusek provides a glimpse of Goethe's grand-scale themes and characterizations, and demonstrate the rich rewards to be gained by joining his hero—the “good man” with the “darkling aspiration”—on his quest to discover the “highest wisdom” of life. Recorded live on June 18 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/qBTy_9VVhuE Podcast audio: Often, people make the mistake of being too passive about friendship, treating it as something that just happens automatically in life—for instance, maintaining friendships with people one just happened to know growing up, or using shortcuts, such as a shared philosophy, in choosing friends. In this talk, Tristan de Liège explores in detail what it means to pursue friendship in a philosophically minded way—integrating the value of friendship with one's other values, pursuing them with purpose, and honoring the trade that is the spiritual foundation of friendship. Recorded live on June 15 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/9lMQ3idE9bw Podcast audio: Immigration is one of the most contentious topics on today's political landscape. But that has always been true throughout America history. Why have immigration restrictions taken hold in America since the nineteenth century? What ideas animate immigration restrictionists, and what explains their success in restricting immigration in the U.S.? In this talk, Agustina Vergara Cid takes you through the history of the immigration debate in the U.S., uncovers the philosophy behind restrictionists, and points to a solution to bring about more freedom in the U.S. Recorded live on June 16 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/DI1xqqIcj7k Podcast audio: How can we live more egoistically? What makes us want to live more egoistically? Not everyone does. In her talk “Egoism Without Permission – It Begins with Desire” at Objectivist Summer Conference 2024 in Anaheim, Tara Smith explored the connection between these questions, drawing material from her new book Egoism Without Permission: The Moral Psychology of Ayn Rand's Ethics. Recorded live on June 17 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/V8yIcXmoAnQ Podcast audio: Fifty years ago, Ayn Rand journeyed to West Point to speak to a new senior-level course offered by the Department of English. She told the cadets — and the world — who needed philosophy, and why. Now, from Shoshana Milgram, you can learn from archival documents and new interviews why and when she was invited, which readings the course contained, how she prepared, and what about her lecture astonished her hosts. Recorded live on June 14 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/ad5KEuKz1a8 Podcast audio: How does science work, and how does it differ from religion or pseudo-science? According to Karl Popper's “falsificationism,” science, unlike religion and pseudo-science, doesn't claim certainty; it aims only to disprove its hypotheses, and this is the source of its rationality. Popper proposed his theory as an alternative to the view that science distinguishes itself by proving its conclusions inductively. In this lecture, Mike Mazza discuss the reasons behind Popper's anti-inductivism and falsificationism and how they undercut the rationality of science.

https://youtu.be/1fLxvFQCScA Podcast audio: Philosophy is for living. But how do you get the most value out of your philosophy?

Gena Gorlin, Tara Smith, Tal Tsfany, and Don Watkins, shared their thoughts on how to leverage Objectivism for success and happiness, addressing questions such as “What are common struggles people face in trying to live by Objectivism?” and “What are underappreciated aspects of Ayn Rand's philosophy that can empower people to enjoy life more?” Recorded live on June 15 in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024.

https://youtu.be/yOx0pcktQtI Podcast audio: What is at stake in the Russia/Ukraine and the Israel/Hamas conflicts? What are America's interests in the chaotic Middle East? How do we evaluate China's global ambitions and its claims on Taiwan? What's the impact of foreign policy on the 2024 campaign trail? How does Objectivism help us unpack these and related issues?
