Catherine Dickerson on the Benevolence of ReasonIn this episode, Michael sits down with Catherine Dickerson for a deeply grounded conversation about what it means to live in a universe where reason is your ally, not your adversary.Drawing from 35 years of experience in education and psychotherapy—and her time as personal assistant to Dr Leonard Peikoff—Catherine brings a rare combination of philosophical depth and practical psychological insight. Together, she and Michael explore the benevolent nature of reality, why clarity is a moral achievement, and how choosing to think transforms your ability to deal with life.This discussion moves beyond abstractions. Catherine explains how rational thinking reshapes your emotional world, why confusion isn't a permanent state, and how a commitment to understanding can lift people out of stagnation. Michael pushes the conversation to the places where philosophy meets daily struggle—self-doubt, mental habits, emotional fallout, and the quiet moments where your mind either becomes your greatest tool or your biggest obstacle.If you've ever felt the pull between the world as it is and the world as you wish it could be, this episode offers a powerful reminder: the world doesn't have to be hostile, chaotic, or unknowable. A rational mind isn't at war with existence—it is designed for it.This is one of those episodes where you'll want to pause, think, and maybe even take notes.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

In a statement, the central bank warned of rising speculation and promised stricter enforcement against peer-to-peer stablecoin activity, expressing particular concern over customer identification requirements and anti-money-laundering controls. “Virtual currencies do not hold the same legal status as fiat currency and cannot be used as legal tender in the market,” the central bank said. It added that it will “intensify efforts to combat related illegal financial activities” to maintain financial stability. - dell funds kids https://www.whitehouse.gov/articles/2025/12/landmark-dell-gift-supercharges-trump-accounts-for-americas-kids/ - real estate is a shitcoin https://cassius133.substack.com/p/cowichan - gold is a shitcoin https://x.com/TFTC21/status/1996575233856122959 - italian gold https://primal.net/e/nevent1qqsyvg6ylqauhl3vwhyc7zc40njt6enu2wyds67fhsfx4sx879ajmnqdprypr - polyglobe https://x.com/pizzintwatch/status/1993346450084778439 - google insider polymarket https://x.com/jeonghaeju/status/1996462116094480464 3:59 - RFK sexts 19:19 - Dashboard 22:59 - Free Samourai 28:59 - Strategy stacking dollars 36:24 - Vanguard 41:49 - Bitcoin/gold 43:14 - Bitkey private pickup & walmart 52:19 - HRF Story of the Week 56:17 - Cowichan land 1:01:39 - Boosts 1:03:39 - Fake gold for Schiff 1:08:24 - Italian gold 1:14:49 - Polyglobe 1:17:24 - Google insider 1:25:09 - Covid semen Shoutout to our sponsors: Coinkite https://coinkite.com/ Stakwork https://stakwork.ai/ Obscura https://obscura.net/ Salt of the Earth https://drinksote.com/rhr Follow Marty Bent: Twitter https://twitter.com/martybent Nostr https://primal.net/marty Newsletter https://tftc.io/martys-bent/ Podcast https://tftc.io/podcasts/ Follow Odell: Nostr https://primal.net/odell Newsletter https://discreetlog.com/ Podcast https://citadeldispatch.com/

Jim Valliant and Michael Continue Their Series on Using Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand as a Guide to Self-Improvement. In This Episode, They Dive Into Chapter Two: “Sense Perception and Volition.”In this new instalment, Michael and Jim explore how the most fundamental aspects of human awareness shape everything from our daily decisions to our long-range ambitions.They take listeners through the core insights of Chapter Two—how we grasp reality through our senses, how automatic perception differs from chosen cognition, and why volition is the root of every meaningful act of self-improvement.This isn't an academic detour. It's a conversation about what it means to live with your eyes open—what it means to build your life on facts rather than feelings, and to recognise that the choice to think is the first moral choice you ever make.Whether you're new to Ayn Rand's philosophy or using OPAR as a personal roadmap, this episode offers a clear, grounded discussion on the tools you already possess: a reality-oriented consciousness and the ability to direct it.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

This holiday week, we're sharing a classic episode about the PLRB Building Codes department. The adjuster on a hail claim receives a long list of line items that are "required by code." Once the old shingles are torn off, they find rot and gaps in the sheathing, and the contractor says a thicker sheathing is now required by code.    Notable Timestamps [ 00:10 ] - Ice barriers, drip edges, a double felt underlayment... Searching the internet only leads the adjuster spiralling down a rabbit hole. [ 01:30 ] - What internet rabbit holes have you gone down? [ 04:28 ] - With PLRB's updated Address Report, members can provide an address and specify details such as rafter spans. [ 05:05 ] - PLRB's Building Codes Address Report provides the adopted building code for a specific address, ensuring it falls within the correct city boundaries (e.g., Parma, Ohio). [ 06:39] - Hail reports from NOAA are also included, allowing adjusters to confirm if hail was present in the area on the claim date. They also provide state-specific matching information, such as Ohio's "reasonable comparable appearance" standard. [ 08:27 ] - The report includes diagrams that visually differentiate between modern wood structural panels and older lumber sheathing (planks), explaining concepts like H-clips for edge support. [ 11:31 ] - The reports clarify requirements for common contractor-claimed line items, such as ice barriers, confirming if they are required (e.g., statewide in Ohio) and providing links to the source of this information. [ 14:14 ] - The "Ask a code question" button links to a form where building code experts will research the specific inquiry and provide citations and links back to the member. [ 15:44 ] - Ruth provides a recap of the points above.

A podcast that focuses on Rabbit Holes, ExMo's, & Conspiracy Theories. She describes herself and her show as: "Rising above, always Unfiltered this because I always am 100 genuine and raw. Everything from Occult Mormonism to Conspiracies I try to cover it all with respect and a smile." We both discuss our experiences from inside the LDS Church, our reasoning for leaving, life after leaving the church, our hopes for those who decided to stay in, the toxic nature of some ExMo (Ex-Mormon) circles, and many other topics!

Dr. Andrew Bernstein and Dr. Meghann Ribbens Discuss Some Problems with American EducationIn this episode, Michael sits down with two sharp and unapologetically rational voices—Dr. Andrew Bernstein and Dr. Meghann Ribbens—to unpack what has gone wrong in American education and why so many students are emerging less prepared, less confident, and less capable of independent thought.From the erosion of academic standards to the cultural shift away from personal responsibility, Bernstein and Ribbens explore the deeper moral and philosophical causes behind the crisis. They examine the rise of ideological conformity, the abandonment of facts and logic in favour of emotionalism, and the way government-run schools incentivise mediocrity rather than excellence.Both guests bring decades of experience to the table: Bernstein as an author and philosopher who has written extensively on heroic education and the value of great literature; Ribbens as an educator and scholar who has watched the system decline from the inside. Together, they articulate a clear picture of what education should be—an uplifting, rigorous, confidence-building path centred on knowledge, reasoning, and the joy of achievement.This conversation is direct, principled, and free of euphemisms. It cuts through the noise to identify the root problems and the real solutions.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

This initiative was part of the CBDC's pilot phase and was implemented using the mBridge platform. Officials say this marks a move toward domestic rollout, with more widespread adoption planned across both public and private sectors. The UAE deploys an extensive and sophisticated surveillance tool system across public spaces and digital communications, raising concerns that placing transactions on a state-controlled CBDC ledger would further centralize visibility over everyday financial activity. In Context: Project mBridge connects the CBDCs of China, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Thailand into a unified, programmable settlement system. Designed to give central banks real-time visibility and control over cross-border flows, the surveillance-ready platform risks exporting the financial governance model of authoritarian states.

Kiyah Willis Discusses Her Journey Out of WokeIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Michael sits down with Kiyah Willis for a thoughtful and compelling discussion about her intellectual transformation—one that took her from the fog of modern “woke” ideology to a life built on clarity, independence, and personal responsibility.Kiyah is a fellow at the Objective Standard Institute, where she focuses on cultural trends and the ideas driving them. With a degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a background as a data analyst, she brings a rare blend of technical discipline and philosophical depth. Today, her work examines how faulty cultural narratives take hold, why they spread, and what it takes to break free from them.In this interview, Kiyah shares her journey out of a worldview rooted in guilt, conformity, and emotional pressure—towards a worldview anchored in reality, reason, and the sovereignty of the individual. She explains how intellectual honesty, personal courage, and a willingness to question the dominant culture became essential steps in reclaiming her confidence and her independence of mind.She also talks about her writing, her love for hiking and spending time with her boxer, Apollo, and the broader mission behind her Substack: helping others untangle themselves from the traps of cultural dogma and rediscover the joy of thinking for themselves.A powerful and clear conversation—one that highlights the cost of surrendering your judgment, and the freedom that comes when you choose to reclaim it.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

Trigger warning: This episode includes discussion of domestic violence, trauma, and healing from abuse. Please listen with care and step away if you need a break.   What does healing look like beyond the therapy room? In this episode of Down the Rabbit Hole, William and Samantha sit down with their colleague and public policy coordinator, Krista Varney, to explore how nature, community, and non-traditional practices can support survivors of domestic violence. Krista shares her journey into the movement, her current work in policy, and how becoming a Texas Master Naturalist and her interest in native plants, trees, and wildlife reshaped her own healing and her approach to advocacy. They unpack why nature can be such a powerful complement to traditional counseling, how simple experiences can calm the nervous system, and why access to green space is deeply tied to equity, history, and environmental justice. They also discuss integrating food access and mutual aid into programming, honoring Indigenous knowledge of land and ecosystems, and creating communities that function like healthy forests. Join us to learn new ways to weave nature into advocacy, prevention, and healing journeys for survivors and their families. Tune in now!

TWO guests, double the fun in this episode where Kelly and Kristina discuss how social media and celebrities can be a toxic mix. What's the truth? What's the conspiracy theory? How deep can people crawl down rabbit holes? Inspired by real life headlines and pop stars, the Mancaruso sisters wrote a twisty thriller about a celebrity journalist who gets sucked down rabbit holes while investigating accusations about iconic pop star Harlow Hayes. Kristina and Kelly dish about pop culture, super fandom, the challenge of writing song lyrics, and the fun Easter eggs they added to keep readers intrigued. One sister's a Swifty. One sister's a conspiracy theory addict. Both were loads of fun. Bonus: So. Many. Book recommendations, including a sneak peek of their next book!

Jeffrey Epstein's finances were a labyrinth deliberately designed to defy transparency. Despite presenting himself as a billionaire money manager, there was never any verifiable evidence of major clients, traditional investment portfolios, or legitimate business operations. His primary company, Financial Trust Co., was registered in the Virgin Islands — a jurisdiction notorious for secrecy — and functioned more as a private shell than a real investment firm. Epstein's wealth seemed to appear out of thin air: properties worth hundreds of millions, private jets, an island compound, and a Manhattan mansion allegedly “gifted” to him under murky circumstances. Forensic accountants and federal investigators alike have repeatedly noted that his books were impenetrable, his paper trail incomplete, and his supposed “financial empire” more illusion than reality.Beneath that illusion, Epstein's fortune was a web of offshore accounts, shadow foundations, and undisclosed transfers tied to an elite network of billionaires, politicians, and institutions. Many of his most conspicuous assets were owned through opaque LLCs or layered trusts that obscured true ownership, allowing him to move money between jurisdictions without detection. His close ties to figures like Leslie Wexner and Leon Black raised deeper questions about whether Epstein's wealth came from management fees, blackmail leverage, or participation in illicit financial schemes. Even after his death, forensic efforts to trace his full financial structure have been hampered by missing records, sealed documents, and non-cooperative entities. To this day, Epstein's finances remain one of the most sophisticated examples of how power, secrecy, and corruption can blur the line between wealth and criminality.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Applying OPAR to Self-ImprovementIn this episode, Michael sits down with James Valliant to launch a powerful new series exploring how the principles laid out in Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand (OPAR) can be used as a practical roadmap for personal growth.Rather than treating philosophy as something abstract or academic, Michael and James break down how these core principles apply to everyday life—to the choices we make, the standards we hold, the habits we build, and the long-range goals we pursue.They discuss:why metaphysics is the starting point for self-improvementhow epistemology shapes your confidence, clarity, and resiliencethe role of values, virtues, and moral purpose in building a meaningful lifecommon psychological traps people fall into when they evade facts or surrender their judgmenthow a rational approach to living creates internal strength, independence, and long-range directionThis series is designed to help listeners bridge the gap between understanding and action. Each conversation will build a deeper foundation for living deliberately, thinking clearly, and becoming the kind of person you respect.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

While the policy aims to disrupt transnational criminal networks engaged in online scams and human trafficking, experts fear such a development may lead to broader surveillance of digital transactions and payments, which could threaten the privacy of many Southeast Asian dissidents based in Thailand.

Nikos Sotirakopoulos Discusses His Journey from Marxism to ObjectivismIn this episode of The Rational Egoist, Dr. Nikos Sotirakopoulos joins Michael Liebowitz to share his intellectual journey from the radical Left to the philosophy of reason and individualism. Once an active Marxist, Nikos reflects on what drew him to collectivist movements in his youth and what ultimately led him to reject them.They discuss the emotional and philosophical appeal of Marxism, the moral void it attempts to fill, and why so many young people are still captivated by its promises today. Nikos explains how his transition to Objectivism reshaped his understanding of freedom, morality, and the role of the individual in society.Now a speaker and writer for the Ayn Rand Institute and an instructor for Ayn Rand University, Dr. Sotirakopoulos teaches about Marx, the communist movement, and the New Left—drawing on both his academic expertise and personal experience to expose the errors of collectivist ideology.Before joining ARI, Nikos spent more than a decade in academia in the UK, teaching at the University of Kent, Loughborough University, and York St John University. He is the author of The Rise of Lifestyle Activism: From New Left to Occupy (Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) and Identity Politics and Tribalism: The New Culture Wars (Societas, 2021), and is a frequent commentator on UK media.Tune in for an insightful conversation about philosophy, moral conviction, and what it truly means to think for yourself.About Michael Liebowitz – Host of The Rational EgoistMichael Liebowitz is the host of The Rational Egoist podcast, a philosopher, author, and political activist committed to the principles of reason, individualism, and rational self-interest.

Vishal Gupta, engineering manager, machine learning at Reddit, joins the podcast to explain how the social media community platform uses artificial intelligence to improve user experience and ad relevance. Much of the advertising work relies on increasingly sophisticated recommender systems that have evolved from simple collaborative filtering to deep learning and large language model–based systems capable of multimodal understanding. https://mitsmr.com/4onhUMgVishal and Sam also explore the philosophical and ethical aspects of AI-driven platforms. Vishal emphasizes the importance of balance — between exploration and exploitation in recommendations, between advertiser goals and user experience, and between human- and machine-generated content. He argues that despite the rise of AI-generated material, authentic human conversation remains vital and even more valuable as models depend on it for training. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: Vishal Gupta is a seasoned engineering leader who leads multiple artificial intelligence and machine learning teams at Reddit in the ads domain. He has a decade of experience working on cutting-edge machine learning techniques at companies like DeepMind, Google, and Twitter.

Afterdark represents one of the purest expressions of who I am as an artist; the embodiment of “Dark Markus.” Inspired by the late-night portions of my open-to-close solo sets and the Down the Rabbit Hole club experiences, it captures those hours when the dancefloor transforms into something deeper, more hypnotic, and spiritual.   Every transition across this four-hour journey was carefully crafted; each movement and tempo shift designed to evolve naturally, guiding you deeper into the shadows. From driving energy to haunting melody, Afterdark 2025 is a continuous story told through sound, where no moment stands alone and every passage leads to the next.   This is music for the night people; the ones who understand that when words fade, flow is everything. It's the 11th year of doing this, and I hope you enjoy it as much as ever.

Shea and Jody of Rainy Day Rabbit Holes, the podcast that uncovers the wild, weird, and wonderful hidden stories of the Pacific Northwest and beyond, join Trevin and Amanda for a four-round battle of regional pride, petty chaos, and pointless competition. Before the main event, our hosts bring their dreadful dilemmas, ranging from awkward public encounters with subtly racist strangers, being too busy for dog playdates, and making retirement plans far too early — plus, Amanda spots our modern-day muse, Chappell Roan, out in the wilds of Kansas City. Then, it's time for the Great Debate — a showdown across four over-the-top rounds: ⚔️ Round One: The Great Debate – Each team makes an absurdly passionate case for their homeland, backed by one bizarre local legend. From the Midwest's failed utopia of Fordlandia to Oregon's infamous exploding whale, chaos is the only constant.
