Ayn Rand Institute | Egoism Without Permission – It Begins with Desire @AynRandInstitute | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Many people who support rational egoism nonetheless struggle to fully live it due to subconscious premises and psychological baggage left over from years led by antithetical moral codes. This lecture previews Dr. Smith’s book on the subject, Egoism Without Permission: The Moral Psychology of Ayn Rand’s Ethics. After offering an overview of the project, the lecture drills down on a critical but often misunderstood element of healthy happiness: desire. We will see how, while reason is man’s means of survival, desire is man’s reason for surviving.
Recorded live on June 17th in Anaheim, CA as part of OCON 2024
