Category Archives: Don’t Let It Go…Unheard

On Sundays I conduct a live webcast in which I discuss news and politics from the perspective of Ayn Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism. You are invited to get in on the discussion tooday, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., PST.

If you join in live, you’ll have the ability to communicate with me via text chat and also via audio either by using a USB mic connected to your computer (VoIP) or by phone. Click here to register (it’s free). If you are not able to attend live, the recorded podcast will be available by tomorrow morning, so you can download it and listen to it at your leisure during the week.

Planned topics for today: Obama’s reaction to the U.S. credit rating downgrade? Give speeches and propose more of the same government programs that got us into this mess. What did you think of the GOP debate and Straw Poll in Iowa? And what about the rioters in London? Click the above link to register and join in on the live discussion!

Altruism’s role in the week’s news events: The Debt Deal and the subsequent fallout in both the stock market and the nation’s credit rating; the attack on U.S. Navy Seal Team Six in Afghanistan.

If you were unable to attend live and would like to hear this week’s webcast/podcast, click here, or you can access it via iTunes (link on the right-hand side of this page >>>>>> ).

Yes, I know those aren’t real words. My mother used them to describe something that was truly awful, and that’s what came to mind when I considered the news of the week (both foreign and domestic) and the prospect of discussing it on tomorrow’s podcast. Then it occurred to me that the perfect (and perhaps only) way to survive this week’s news is to intellectualize it — to analyze the whole mess in terms of its root cause: altruism. So that’s what we’ll do, tomorrow at 5 p.m. PST. Sign up if you’d like to join in live and contribute your two cents (now inflated to $5 thanks to the debt deal).

UPDATE: I just noticed that GoToWebinar was doing something totally unprecedented : asking you to give me your mailing address just to register to attend my live webcast. I have fixed it, so now all you need is name and e-mail address to register (and no, I will not spam you with e-mail, either). Sorry, not sure how that happened!
