This lecture discusses key ideas from the 20th century philosopher and novelist Ayn Rand's book The Virtue of Selfishness, in particular the chapter "The Ethics of Emergencies"
This focuses specifically on her discussion about what an emergency is, why bad ethics results from taking emergency cases as normative, and when one ought to be willing to risk one's own life or values for during an emergency
