Send us a textThis episode closes out the Attributes Series with one of the most mission-critical traits in Air Force Special Warfare: stress tolerance. Aaron breaks down what stress tolerance actually means—not being emotionless, but staying inside the performance window when stakes are high. From eustress vs distress to stress inoculation, breath control, visualization, and recovery, this is a practical blueprint for how instructors evaluate candidates under pressure. Mass casualties, buddy breathing, danger-close CAS—this attribute decides whether you freeze, spiral, or perform. Stress is guaranteed.

ICE and CBP Goons are that most toxic of combinations: mean and stupid. They proved it when they assaulted a retired couple at church and again when they tried to literally invade Ecuador. No. Really. The idiot dipshits tried to invade the Ecuadoran Consulate in Minneapolis, which is Ecuadorian soil. In other news, li'l Marco went to the Senate and had a hard time with  . . . logic . . . from Rand . . . Paul? Sometimes it makes my poor, feminine head hurt.

Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism, as a Source and System of Wisdom. Wisdom vs. knowledge. Metaphysics and gratitude. Rationality and equanimity. The primacy of values. The Three C's of Capitalism: Creation, Cooperation, Competition. Purposeful action. Being right in order to live right (versus chasing distractions, experiencing trivial (non-)victories, winning arguments). The value of debate, contrasted with the value of self-interest, self-composure, serenity. "We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?" What we never had to take seriously ... and what we must take very seriously.

The discussion today encompasses a variety of positive developments, including the emergence of new intellectual contributions and advancements in technology. We commence with a notable mention of Jason Crawford's impending publication with the Roots of Progress Institute, a project that promises to enrich our understanding of progress itself. Moreover, we delve into the exciting realm of supersonic travel, highlighting the competitive landscape that is evolving in this domain. In addition, we explore recent literary works such as "Two Philosophers: Aristotle and Ayn Rand," which draws intriguing comparisons between these two intellectual giants. As we navigate through these topics, we also contemplate the potential for future guests and other engaging subjects that await our exploration. In a rich tapestry of dialogue, Martin and I traverse a multitude of subjects, weaving together threads of optimism and insight as we greet the year 2026. Our conversation is marked by an earnest exchange of well-wishes for our audience, as we collectively reflect on the possibilities that lie ahead. A focal point of our discussion centers on the Roots of Progress Institute, where Jason Crawford's recent completion of his forthcoming book signifies a pivotal moment in the promotion of progressive thought, slated for publication by MIT Press in 2027. We delve into the intriguing developments within the aviation industry, where the advent of new supersonic aircraft promises to revolutionize air travel. The notion of traversing vast distances in a fraction of the time previously required evokes a sense of excitement and anticipation for the future of transportation. Amidst this exploration of technological advancements, we remain acutely aware of the cultural and political landscapes, recognizing the often glacial pace of political evolution in comparison to the vigorous currents of societal change. Moreover, our discourse is enriched by the recent release of 'Two Philosophers: Aristotle and Ayn Rand,' a scholarly work that juxtaposes the philosophical contributions of these two intellectual giants. This examination not only sheds light on Rand's enhancements to Aristotelian thought but also invites a broader contemplation of our values and aspirations as we navigate the complexities of modern life. As we conclude our episode, we embrace a spirit of hope and determination, looking forward to engaging with future guests and delving deeper into the profound themes that shape our world.Takeaways:In this episode, we discuss the recent accomplishments of the Roots of Progress Institute, particularly the forthcoming publication of a significant book by Jason Crawford, anticipated for release in 2027.We explore the exciting advancements in the aerospace industry, particularly the emergence of new companies developing supersonic aircraft, which could revolutionize air travel in the next decade.The recent publication of the book 'Two Aristotle and Ayn Rand' by James Lennox and Greg Salmieri is discussed, highlighting the philosophical dialogue between these two influential thinkers.We emphasize the importance of setting personal values and how they shape our decisions when considering relocation to areas that align with one's lifestyle preferences.The discussion touches upon the political landscape, particularly the hopeful developments in Iran, where citizens are advocating for freedom and reform against oppressive regimes.We conclude with...

Im Gespräch mit Host Stefan Kaltenbrunner schildert Martin Weiss zunächst die außenpolitischen Tabubrüche der USA – etwa das Vorgehen in Venezuela, die Drohung einer Annexion Grönlands und das Aufbringen eines russischen Tankers – und ordnet sie als neue Qualität US-amerikanischer Machtpolitik ein. Er erklärt, warum diese Schritte zwar an historische Konstanten wie die Monroe-Doktrin anschließen, aber in Tempo, Brutalität und Völkerrechtsbruch eine neue Dimension darstellen.
Aus europäischer Perspektive beschreibt Weiss, wie sehr die Sicherheitsarchitektur unter Druck steht, weil Trump die Beistandspflicht der NATO de facto infrage stellt und Europa militärisch wie politisch lange im Windschatten der USA gelebt hat. Gleichzeitig sieht er in dieser Krise die Chance, dass die EU endlich entscheidungsfähig wird, in der Verteidigungspolitik aufholt und gegenüber Washington aus einer stärkeren Position auftritt.
Im Gespräch zur Ukraine betont Weiss, dass Russland militärisch weit weniger Geländegewinne erzielt hat, als oft angenommen, aber der Westen dennoch seine Glaubwürdigkeit verspielt, sollte die Ukraine politisch oder militärisch vollständig unterliegen. Er hält ein mögliches Waffenstillstands- oder Arrangementszenario rund um 2026 für denkbar, weil sowohl Russland als auch die Ukraine und ihre Unterstützer unter der immensen Last des Krieges ächzen.
Mit Blick auf China warnt Weiss vor einer Fehleinschätzung der USA: Wenn Peking aus Ukraine, Venezuela und anderen Konflikten lernt, dass Fakten schaffen belohnt wird, könnte ein Angriff auf Taiwan eine globale Eskalation auslösen. Parallel dazu skizziert er, wie innenpolitisch viele Amerikaner Außenpolitik nur am Rand interessiert, während steigende Lebenshaltungskosten Trumps Popularität massiv unter Druck setzen.
Weiss beschreibt Bruchlinien innerhalb der Republikaner, die Loyalität zu Trump gegen ihren eigenen Ruf abwägen müssen, und schildert, wie der Präsident trotz seiner harten Linie zunehmend zur „lame duck“ werden könnte – vor allem bei krachend verlorenen Midterms. Auf demokratischer Seite nennt er unter anderem Kaliforniens Gouverneur Gavin Newsom als Beispiel dafür, wie sich mögliche Gegenkandidaten zu Trump inhaltlich und strategisch positionieren.
Im Nahen Osten sieht Weiss den Iran in einer existenziellen Krise: Verbündete wie Hisbollah und Hamas seien geschwächt, wirtschaftliche Probleme und Wassermangel verschärften den innenpolitischen Druck, wodurch auch dort bis 2026 dramatische Umbrüche möglich erscheinen. Insgesamt zeichnet er das Bild einer multipolaren Welt ohne stabile Ordnung, in der Fehler der Großmächte – von Washington über Moskau bis Peking – jederzeit in einen Flächenbrand münden könnten, während Europa versucht, zwischen Eigenständigkeit und Abhängigkeit seinen Platz neu zu definieren.Links zur Folge:Salzburg Global Wir würden uns sehr freuen, wenn Du "Ganz offen gesagt" auf einem der folgenden Wege unterstützt:Werde Unterstützer:in auf SteadyKaufe ein Premium-Abo auf AppleKaufe Artikel in unserem FanshopSchalte Werbung in unserem PodcastFeedback bitte an redaktion@ganzoffengesagt.atTranskripte und Fotos zu den Folgen findest Du auf podcastradio.at

Tolzmann, Jan www.deutschlandfunk.de, Forschung aktuell

Em tempos de crise institucional e moral, pensadores que defendem vigorosamente os valores da liberdade e da responsabilidade individual ganham projeção. Entre eles, Ayn Rand (1905–1982) se destaca como uma das vozes mais influentes do liberalismo filosófico moderno. Seu sistema de pensamento, denominado objetivismo, propõe uma ética racional do egoísmo, exaltando o indivíduo como medida suprema da existência e rejeitando toda forma de coletivismo, altruísmo ou transcendência religiosa como ameaça à liberdade. Apesar de Rand não ter formulado um sistema teológico, sua filosofia tem implicações profundas para as concepções de verdade, comunidade, liderança e ordem. Neste episódio, buscamos avaliar criticamente o pensamento randiano à luz da teologia adventista, especialmente no que se refere ao sistema de governo representativo da Igreja e à estrutura de liderança espiritual. Argumentamos que, embora o objetivismo de Rand aponte para aspectos válidos da responsabilidade pessoal, sua rejeição do princípio da revelação, da autoridade espiritual e da dimensão comunitária da fé o torna uma ameaça ao ideal bíblico de ordem eclesiástica.

A bit thinky this time.  All those years we read Heinlein and Rand so as to understand the fascist position. And now I find out the fascists have a new gospel and a new prophet. All the smalldicks (credit: Jason Isbell) get together in one-handed bookclubs and talk about a white America.  Tell me again how MAGATS=/= Nazis.

#675: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's letter E stands for Entrepreneurship. This episode originally aired in September 2018, at a moment when startup culture was loud, venture capital was abundant, and entrepreneurship was often framed as something that involves outside investors and rapid growth. ____ In this episode, we rewind the clock to 2018. Remember what entrepreneurship was supposed to look like back then? Build a startup. Raise capital. Scale fast. Get rich. That was the dominant story. But our guest, Rand Fishkin, told a different story – a story about founder burnout, debt, and the downside of startup culture. Rand, the founder of Moz, shares how he and his mother accumulated nearly half a million dollars in debt while running an early services business. He talks about what it felt like to face creditors, negotiate settlements, and keep going under intense financial pressure. From there, we move into one of the most misunderstood ideas in entrepreneurship: the difference between service businesses and product businesses. Rand breaks down the trade-offs. Services generate income faster. Product businesses rely on outside capital. And founders often earn far less than people expect. That leads to a deeper conversation about incentives. Once venture capital enters the picture, priorities shift. Profits matter less. Growth matters more — and it affects both the business and your personal finances. High revenue does not automatically translate into personal wealth. We also talk about the side of entrepreneurship that rarely makes the highlight reels: Loneliness. Anxiety. Depression. And the relief that comes from realizing that even the most successful founders often feel lost while they're building. This conversation feels less like startup advice and more like a long-term framework for thinking clearly about risk, money, and meaning. If you've ever questioned whether entrepreneurship automatically leads to financial freedom, this episode offers a grounded and very honest answer.

A Time Like No Other: My Journey 1946-1967 by Ken Rand Kenrand.net https://www.amazon.com/Time-Like-No-Other-1946-1947/dp/1969865504 Historians have labeled the 50s and 60s as a ‘time of innocence, and many feel it was the greatest generation. In the early 50s, we witnessed the birth of television (in black and white). And it was live TV, where the unpredictable could-and would-happen. People felt safe, and it wasn’t unusual for them to leave their cars and front doors unlocked. In the 50s and 60s, we did not have cell phones or computers for texting and email. We communicated by talking to each other (sometimes for hours) and we wrote ‘hand-written’ letters; imagine that. Things were so different then. Milk and meat tasted different, and even tap water tasted better, (bottled water? What’s that?), It was also a time when women’s rights and the civil rights movement gained momentum. The world was beginning to change. I have two goals in writing this book. One is to share my personal life journey and memories with you, and the other is to provide you with a picture of what was happening in the world, especially in the United States, at that time. You will soon draw your own conclusions about whether the time in which we baby boomers were brought up was truly “A Time Like No Other.” If you were born in the 50s or 60s, I know you will cherish this journey and my personal stories. If you weren’t, then sit back, relax, read, and enjoy what you’ve missed. Put on your seatbelts.

He is also writing a follow-up book with co-author Kim Thomas titled One Teacher at a Time: Teach-Inspire-Change.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the news that Kevin Garnett and the Wolves have mended their relationship. KG will join the team as an ambassador and will have his jersey retired at some point. After a decade of strained feelings, this is right. Plus the Wild are No. 3 in their division -- and the entire NHL -- after another win Thursday. 10:00: Bobby Nightengale joins Rand for a dissection of the big Twins news this week. 29:00: The Seahawks won a wild one over the Rams; even if the Vikings had been better this year, they wouldn't be a playoff team.
