Peikoff is so profound and direct. It is a pleasure listening to him.

Brilliant! Not only Dr. Peikoff, but what a great interviewer, and knowledgeable questioners from the audience.
-
Stunningly inventive minds on display here. Ayn Rand's Philosophy of Objectivism is well worth time, study, and attention.

Such an excellent program that took Rand’s ideas seriously.

Amazing talk

If you've not read his book, it's a must!!!!!

Clear thinking galore ..!

50:40 Peikoff's prediction is very accurate. Individualists have fallen asleep since the end of cold war. And the collectivists take over, in particular by the Obama initiative. Also Peikoff is 100% correct about Hong Kong and Clinton.

Harry Binswanger and Stephen Hicks are good too.
-
Brilliant

its amazing to me how many people do not know how to say her name right....come on its not that hard
-
This is what vintage? 1999, perhaps?
-
Awareness is known by awareness alone; is the sole irreducible axiom of reality. To put forth a syllable to the contrary is but to concede.

I wonder what Peikoff would say about Manifest Destiny. America was literally founded on the belief that both individuals and the government had the right to take what they want by force. When the Supreme Court ruled that it was illegal for President Andrew Jackson to break the legal treaties made with the native Americans, he ignored their ruling believing the right of government to take what they want is above even the constitution.

It is unreasonable to ask the people to give up the right of self-defense via firearms: As the saying goes "When seconds count, count on the police to arrive in minutes". In the 1980's, Mar Qillimas featured the story of the court case that said the police were NOT obliged to protect citizens from criminal attack. Given this, If one is responsible for ones life, one is entitled to procure the tools to preserve and protect it. Beyond that, Rand had never settled on the idea of banning firearms. Now, given that existence exists, which do you think is more likely by megaparsecs. Perosns will use firearams to reisist a tyranny or a proper government, and yes, this could be viewed as an intellignece test or a test to see if you are a space alien? The right to life implies the right to defend it with the appropriate and reliable tools
