Obedience and compliance with the ten commandments is suggested because doing that is good for you. It may be bad for your immediate goal for your immediate enjoyment of the moment in front of you but it is good for you in the long term.

Didn't Rand believe that man has an obligation and duty to himself? Altruism or a duty and obligation to others isn't virtuous according to Rand if I understand her.

This is awesome, you’re an extremely smart and genuine person. I absolutely love your opinions and you’re an incredible actor, bro. Thank you so much for everything I especially love your performance in Capote pretty fantastic thanks man keep doing what you’re doing. Great podcast I loved it.

Loving this talk, Lisa Feldman Barrett cover constructed emotions theory, in line with the emotions section

Great discussion and very good questions!

LONG LIVE LIBERTY CARAJO!!!🗽🗽🗽

Mark Pellegrino must be a great actor. Thank you for the reminder of the hardly known great Bob Florence, jazz pianist, composer, and who I didn’t know was so much an arranger too.

In other words, once you like the paracosm too much, you don’t wanna get out.

With Ally, I agree that toxic humour is so widespread and terribly destructive to productive motivation. 🗽

Aaron should listen to the song “Big Time” by Peter Gabriel.

36:10 That might have been an episode of Futurama. But the purpose of the mirror wasn’t to motivate a goal. It was to sell underwear-Lightspeed Briefs. The changing room mirror in the department store presented an idealized version of yourself. But when the character looked closer, he saw the sign: “Objects in mirror are less attractive than they appear.”

Tremendous talk. Aaron is an incisive thinker, and, thankfully for us, also a great communicator.

Awesome podcast

Outstanding discussion ... one I'll be recommending, especially to those who've read Ayn Rand's works, and are looking to apply Objectivist principles. What does this philosophy look like in practice? Lots of great answers in this interview.

Speaking of metal.. have you heard Jinjer yet? I suggest the song Pisces.. many many views.

Regarding Rose's photography question, i think it becomes art when the scene being captured is actually saying something rather than merely documenting something. For example, William Mortensen took fantastic pictures with wonderful, dramatic scenes. these scenes have themes, values that are being communicated. A picture of a static bowl of fruit isn't saying anything, it just is. I would recommend William Mortensen's book The Command to Look detailing his theory of dramatic photography if you're reading this, Rose.

I've said it many times to my Oist pals, Aaron Smith is the true chad of ARI.

Why Objectivists are not so common in debating scene? Like for example Matt Dillahunty?

That was very informative!! thank you so much! Rose was amazing too.

Thank you Mark

Although morality is a complex discussion, I believe what you say is so true. Good is that which improves the physical and emotional quality of individual living beings as well as the quantity of living beings. Evil does the opposite. This gets complex when you view things on a large scale and a long period of time, as well as many different defitions for what exactly "spiritual" health means and if it differs from physical and emotional health, but I believe it still rings true.

This is excellent content. Hope to meet you during OCON soon!

palestine will be free!! 🇵🇸

That is so true ❤

I think this could have been titled better.

Mark thank you for a happy childhood❤ best Lucifer ❤

Thank you so much! I agree with your every word!

So Mark and Michael's moral foundation leads them to the conclusion that it's okay to kill potentially hundreds of thousands of people in the Middle East because a bunch of gang members broke out of prison and killed over 1,000 Israelis. I understand the people who remain neutral in the conflict and suggest that it's not our war, but to cheer on the death of so many innocent people is just disgusting. It makes me like Ayn Rand a lot less if this is truly where the ideology leads.

I would suggest making an argument or presenting a counterpoint to Smith’s positions. Should be relatively easy if he is very unprincipled and incorrect

Pathetic

Lol, put someone in makeup and put them on a tv show, they start thinking they're actslly smart 😂

Man. Judging from these comments it looks very definitively like you're actually wrong and Dave is right. Asking to debate him with this level of dumbassery is like asking your whole family to come over and watch you get your ass kicked twice.

This is just your feelings there is nothing else here explain yourself make a claim

Imagine saying that the guy whole had probably most spread libertarianism since Ron Paul is dangerous to libertarianism. Maybe if by libertarian you mean the old LP, but that was just a bunch of self important people pretending they cared about liberty.

"Zionism is a philosophy." Mark Pellegrino, Sophist.

Wait... he's talking to Jacob?

Make an actual argument.

Lol debate then. I've been a libertarian since 2008 and Dave Smith has been a breath of fresh air in the libertarian sphere since Ron Paul's 2012 presidential campaign. He is one of the best voices articulating libertarianism and I'm here for it.

Hey man, do better.

Lmao stay mad

Lmao a guy who literally went to prison for stabbing his girlfriend accusing another person of having no moral foundation. How is there 0 self awareness?

"I don't want to go too much into the weeds with this," he then does not provide a single example. Why would anyone debate someone that thinks assertions are arguments?

Big loser energy in this video.

This isnt an argument, make the damn claim or shut up. I’m so tired of people making claims without defining those claims

Haha, you sound like you want to be Dave's friend so bad but he won't answer your texts

I guess that famous "high Jewish IQ" missed his sorry ass

Hahahahah

This is the worst "gotcha" I've ever seen...kind of sad tbh
