    Was Ayn Rand a Jewish Thinker?

    https://youtu.be/sdNoDhkU_eA Podcast audio: In this episode of New Ideal Live, Elan Journo and Harry Binswanger analyze Alexandra Popoff’s new biography, Ayn Rand: Writing a Gospel of Success, particularly its portrayal of Rand as a “Jewish thinker.” They address the false attempt to link Rand’s “ethnicity” to her philosophy. Among the topics covered: * The determinism of labeling Rand as “influenced” by her ancestry vs. the central role of choice in her thought and life; * The irrelevant evidence offered for Rand’s “ethnic” identity; * Spurious evidence of Rand’s reaction to Soviet injustices in her political thinking; * Why Rand’s novels put plot first and were not merely a vehicle for ideas; * How The Fountainhead is Rand’s rejection of Nietzsche’s ideas; * How Popoff’s book fails to engage with Rand’s rejection of the tribalism central to the concept “ethnicity”; * Why Ayn Rand called herself a Jew in response to Antisemitism; * How Popoff’s book rehashes the same errors of older flawed biographies. Mentioned in this podcast are Ayn Rand’s essay “What Is Capitalism?” and her lecture “Global Balkanization.” The podcast was broadcast on September 6, 2024. Watch archived podcasts here.

    Why U.S. Failed in Afghanistan. No, It’s Not What You Think.

    The U.S. the US withdrew from Afghanistan 3 years ago on August 26, 2021. Blame our political and intellectual leaders, across two decades, for evading the ideological nature of the enemy and, consequently, miring U.S. forces in a “no-win” war.

    The Democrats’ Devious Appeal to ‘Freedom’

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBhhQHNCAFI Podcast audio: In this episode of New Ideal Live, Ben Bayer and Nikos Sotirakopoulos discuss the Democratic National Committee’s 2024 Platform. Among the topics covered: * The ambiguity of “freedom” in the Democrats’ rhetoric; * How the platform packages legitimate freedom with the “freedom” to take from others; * How the platform packages equality of rights with metaphysical equality; * How the platform’s egalitarianism is racist and infantilizing; * How altruism and Marxist economics drive the platform’s call for the wealthy to pay their “fair share” in taxes; * What a principled opposition to the DNC platform would look like. Recommended in this podcast are Ayn Rand’s essay “Man’s Rights” and the July 25 New Ideal podcast episode “Why Socialists Fear the Republican Party Platform.” The podcast premiered on August 29, 2024.

    Debunking the Supernaturalism That Haunts Secular Ethics

    In this episode, Ben Bayer reads aloud his article, “Debunking the Supernaturalism That Haunts Secular Ethics.” In that essay, he examines secular thinkers' approach towards ethics. As he argues, scientists like Richard Dawkins accept ethical claims that are fundamentally based on religious thinking. To combat this approach to ethics, we need a naturalistic alternative: and one has been offered by Ayn Rand. Bayer’s article was originally published in New Ideal, the Ayn Rand Institute’s journal, on October 11, 2023.
