Yaron and Amy: “Fearing the Worst,” TODAY at 2 p.m. ET (12 p.m. PT)

Exploring the rationality of fearing for the state of free speech in England, for Edward Snowden’s safety, and for the ability of Facebook to survive under the GDPR. Other stories, too. See Program Notes, below, for stories, etc., we plan to discuss.

The show will be broadcast live via streaming video on Yaron’s YouTube Channel as well as on his show’s Facebook page here.

The Yaron and Amy Show will return June 2!

I’ve just heard from Yaron who is busy celebrating his birthday (plus giving talks, etc., of course!) in Israel. He said he won’t be able to do a show this Saturday–that makes two Saturdays in a row that we will have missed. 😦 But he said we’re “definitely on” for the next Saturday, June 2. So I hope you can join us!

The Difference between Ayn Rand and Jordan B. Peterson

On this week’s Yaron and Amy Show, we got into a discussion of Jordan B. Peterson’s pragmatism. It starts about 59 minutes into the episode:

Today I extracted a one minute teaser (about 1 hour, 19 minutes in?), which includes my take on the essential difference in the ethical foundations of Rand and Peterson. If you like it, I’d appreciate help in sharing the clip. Thanks! (It’s also available as a video on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, where I’ve separately posted the clip.)

Hope your week is off to a good start!

Amy
