@3:40 "the science of obsolescence and technology impacting those least likely to understand it" is 2016 politics and onward? With Joe Biden out, and Trump becoming so prominent I am going back and reading more about 1968 and 1972. Re-reading? If anyone thinks 2024 is as bad as it gets..... learn your history.
I know it’s against the point this clip was making but I gotta say she was hot back in her day. I’m talking straight up physical appearance. Maybe not traditional but the entire package, her face, eyes, hair, body and voice? Not to mention she seems to have a great personality and is very intelligent? Sorry Dino but you missed out!
My main problem would be that Rands morality excludes the terrible influence that for examples fathers would be to their children, for instance if a father does not teach a child to not become a pedophile in a third world country because they only live out of self interest and the mother is not capable of understanding more than any fundamentalist beliefs and pedophilia is encouraged in that culture between say young people, how is that child not going to harm any child ever. We should always take care of the social influence that our behaviour has to the people we are meant to care for; even if we do not, we have to offere some kind of goodness, heroism for the hope of the act of evil to be prevented.
for a guy who took self preservation cautions and tried not to die, he should have stopped smoking back in the 60's- Rod would have lived a longer lasting life if he did so.
"What do you see for us, for everything"? -"Christ, it's bad. I mean, I'm not very optimistic" Regarding what's happening around the world for years I would say this man was quite ahead of his times. He was a great society observer and knew that it wasn't headed in the right direction.People probably considered him back then some kind of pessimist when in fact he was realist.
“I keep my mouth shut now. I’ve turned into a professional coward.” time for all of us to speak up for democracy....read 2025...democray or dictatorship that is what is on ballot in November.....I choose democracy...how about you?
There's an unpleasant question that should be asked. "Jim how many fat girls have you had sex with?" Being attracted to physically healthy people, whether male or female, is not culture. It's biology cultures of symptom
He inspired me to quit my 9to5 stressful job at 51 and work less hours for myself while getting serious about my sculpting and painting. He once said something about doing what comes easy. That really made me open my eyes.
There is no question that has ever stumped Ayn Rand. Whether you agree with her or not, the scope of Rand's mind and her split second clarity of expression answers all challenges with immediacy and razor sharp precision. This is a hallmark of a genius and no doubt she was just that.
His whole vibe going by his voice and music reminds me of Jimi Hendrix: An otherworldly musical genius with a short career and life but also unexpectedly down to earth while speaking to interviewers.
Wow! Reconnecting to Rand after 25 years! It's all goosebumps as she clarifies her positions on each issue/principle. Looking back at what 50 years of life has taught me, I agree with all her views (in this conversation).
