2026-01-25 - The Tao Of Rand - Five Minutes with Robert & Amy Nasir - Episode 295

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.
