Who We Are: ARCUK is a platform of talented thinkers who apply Ayn Rand’s philosophy to many popular, intriguing, and complicated topics.

0:00 Intro
0:27 “Are most intellectuals today stuck on rationalism or empiricism?”
5:03 “I remember Ayn Rand having an issue with the way the government recognizes and/or treats franchises. Can you explain why?”
6:22 “Bitcoin can’t be redeemed for a valuable/useful commodity. In my opinion, this alone will prevent it from becoming money. Thoughts?”
10:58 “Do you know about the ‘Antikythera Device’ (a very sophisticated ship navigating tool/regarded as an early computer and also a theory of how ancient technology (Greek) gets lost.”
14:41 “Ideas for dissolving psychological blocks for clearer cognitive clarity?”
16:14 “Is there a trap in forming good habits that the habits can narrow your thinking into the automated habits?”
18:30 “Missed the first part – how much is this a method for managing fear? Fear seems like a unique emotion in that you can’t necessarily ‘think’ your way through it? (poorly worded)”
19:45 “I’d like to ask what does Harry Binswanger think of the concept “a priori knowledge” – I don’t think it makes sense.”
23:39 “I want to be a philosopher. Do I need a PhD? If so, what criteria should I use to select the best PhD program for me given my abilities and interests? For context, I already have a bachelor’s degree in nursing so I am not wholly uneducated and I am familiar with academia. I’ve also read almost all of Ayn Rand’s published nonfiction, most of Plato dialogues, and about half of Aristotle’s corpus.”
