In Fool View Mike and Max

An unbelievably thrilling and enthralling conversation about Andrew Hacker's The Math Myth, a book that questions why sometimes the numbers just don't add up. 

And now... the thrilling conclusion to our discussion of Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged!

We sat down to talk about Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and seeing as the novel is over a thousand pages, our conversation ran a few hours. We discuss both elements of the book's plot along with many of the greater ideas that were presented within. In this episode we only cover parts one and two of the novel, with the third part to follow in a coming episode. I'm sure we missed many details and interesting ideas, but there was a lot of ground to cover and we're only human. Enjoy. 

Welcome back! We kick the second season off with a long, winding road that we confused with a discussion of the Communist Manifesto.

On this very special episode of In Fool View, we discuss the literary merit of young adult fiction, the concept of artistic gatekeeping, what gives stories value... and we break down Hpmer's Odyssey a little bit somewhere in between. 

Max and I discuss Thomas Sowell's work, "Black Rednecks and White Liberals" which touches on topics ranging from the origins of redneck culture in America, minority middlemen, the American education system, and how we tend to view history without context.
