Ben Burgis argues with an “objectivist” philosopher about Ayn Rand’s argument that capitalism is good because statist coercion destroys “the mind” and the mind is key to our survival. Rand claimed that all the other modern moral philosophies all preach self-sacrifice, whereas hers was unique in encouraging human survival and flourishing. Ben explains to the objectivist that every single part of this is nonsense. Independent creators rely on your support to create the content you want!
