I get a lot out of all of Yaron’s talks but I especially enjoyed this one as he spends a fair amount of time going over the basics of Ayn Rand’s philosophy in ways I had not heard him use before.
He starts with the fact that reality is what it is and not what we “wish” it would be (metaphysics) then moves on to the fact that reason is our way to understand the world and to survive in it (epistemology) which
