Altruism is the "sacred cow" of humanity. Ayn Rand destroys such sacred cows.

this guys pupils are larger than the universe

Mises spent a lot of pages on philosophy before getting into praxeology in Human Action.

"Dense, philosophical bs kinda language that they use" ... Wat a choice of words

[legendre]

Thank you for tackling this important topic! It's important that rather than let academic gatekeepers decide for us, we read Ayn Rand for ourselves and come to our own evaluations.

[bahavaz]

Rands theory of epistomology is what makes objectivism unique.

1:35 100% I have a degree in psychology where I took child psychology. When i read ITOE everything clicked perfectly into place.

Objectivism was laughed out of the building from Nietzsche to Tolstoy 50 years before she got to it. It’s nonsense.

[jeremyhansen]

The fact he believes that Rand originated the idea of the non aggression principle and thinks libertians stole it should tell you everything you need to know about the intellectual curiosity of this man.

[LowIQLabRat]

He didn’t explain why philosophers hate her at all, just described his view of her merits. Titles like this are so frustrating.

[InitialFailure]

Philosophers don't like her because her conclusions are incoherent and she constantly plays with definitions.

This video wasn’t created by Christian Jackson. John Matheson filmed and edited it. Christian Jackson I presume is the guy who cut the Ayn Rand clip on the end. Brook was someone I had long admired and meeting him for this shoot was a real honour. I had ten minutes to set this up in a tiny room at Ed Uni. Mr Brook patiently waited and didn’t put any pressure on me while I rushed. After the interview he spent time chatting with us before heading to a 90minute lecture/ q and a. What an impressive and admirable guy - a great ambassador for an ethical philosophy and I was proud to meet him.

The main reason why AR has been ignored by the "serious academy philosophers" is the simplest fact we could ever imagine - she was a WOMAN. Show me at least one serious philosopher-woman who pretended to examine all men's ideas throughout the history of thinking?

[lavendersprig]

Sorry honeys . I cant live without a heart .

[JonathanLevinTKY]

Whats the objectivist point of view on fire fighters and the CDC.. especially around corona virus?

[sansocie]

Not an expert but let me pretend to be one....next!

Rand was for reason.
There are few good philosophers, like Leonard Peikoff, George Gale, Helena Cronin, Ruth Milikan, George H. Smith, John Mackie, Paul Kurtz, Ned Block, Andy Clark, Patricia Churchland, Hilary Putnam, Gilbert Ryle and Daniel Dennett.

[antonioarriaga]

Bruh she is not unique. She took one of Kant’s categorical imperative for her own and did not give him credit for it.

[somnambulist]

Ah, man, this is an embarrassment to the concept of philosophy

[ashercaplan]

I thought this was satire at first. And then I realized it was 100% serious...
