The Rational Egoist: Exploring the Link between Irrationality and Nihilism in Today's Culture with Dave Goodman Description: Join Michael Liebowitz in this episode of The Rational Egoist as he interviews Dave Goodman, delving into the root cause of the nihilistic nature of our culture. They discuss the profound impact of irrationality on the rise of nihilism, and how the wrong or bad philosophy can fuel this negative trend. They also examine the role of reason in rationalizing one's life and avoiding bad results, as well as the importance of the principle of non-contradiction in upholding individual rights. Listen in as they shed light on the dangers of subjectivism and the chaos that results from embracing contradiction. Michael Liebowitz is a philosopher, political activist, and host of the Rational Egoist podcast. He is a passionate advocate of reason and his views have been heavily influenced by the philosopher Ayn Rand. Liebowitz has dedicated his life to promoting its principles of rational self-interest, individualism, and reason. In addition to his work as a podcast host, Liebowitz is also a prominent spokesperson for the Libertarian Party for Connecticut - USA and has been involved in a number of political debates advocating for individual rights and freedoms through his YouTube videos and interviews. Liebowitz's life story is a testament to the transformative power of the writings of Ayn Rand. After spending 25 years in prison, he was able to turn his life around by embracing the principles of rational self-interest and morality espoused by Ayn Rand. He has since become an influential voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities, using his own experience to inspire others to live their lives in accordance with reason, individualism, and self-interest. Liebowitz is also the co-author of "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime," a book that explores the ways in which misguided societal attitudes towards punishment and rehabilitation have led to a rise in crime and recidivism. In addition to his work in politics and philosophy, Liebowitz is a regular guest on the Todd Feinburg show at WTIC, where he provides expert commentary on a range of political and social issues.
