We recorded this episode on Mike's birthday, so while he was tripping on the gland secretions of some desert toad he found, friend of the podcast Colin Boyd-Bigby stepped in to fill in his shoes. The focus of this episode revolves in great part around the Adam Curtis BBC documentary series, All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace. We discuss Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy, her novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, and the outsized influence her work has had on the political, economic, and technological development in the United States.
Episode Notes:
This episode features a segment of Ayn Rand's interview with Mike Wallace in 1959, and the song Crunk In Time by Wukileak.
