In this dialogue, we take a dive into philosophical discussion as we discuss Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged. The controversial work tends to raise strong feelings among both Rand's supporters and her critics, and we attempt to engage some of those ideas here. The show was born out of the question "Why does the Left dislike Ayn Rand so intensely?" On the one hand, she was a female writer who immigrated to the US from Russia in the mid 20th Century, and was a very accomplished author who wrote strong female characters and critiqued arcane structures of power and control. Her writing has been very attractive to primarily movement conservatives in the US, who laud her support for individualism and laissez-Faire capitalism and her critique of regulation, big government, and social norms which are seen to be stifling creativity and innovation among doers in society. Meanwhile her critics will argue that at the heart of her philosophy is a social Darwinism which would easily sacrifice the least productive members of the society. At the end, we merely agree to disagree on the book and its contents, after a sometimes heated debate, of which this show is merely the culmination.
