They dive deep into the heart of the opioid epidemic, focusing on the intense stigmatisation that surrounds substance abuse. Discussing the paradox of our societal attitudes, they explore why substance abuse is often stigmatised more harshly than other health and mental health issues, and how this stigma contributes to an insidious cycle of secrecy and suffering for those affected. Avery explains the deadly nature of this silent struggle, with alarming rates of overdoses marking the epidemic's toll.In an unexpected twist, they highlight that alcohol, the most common driver of hospitalisation and death due to substance misuse, manages to evade such stigmatisation. How does society differentiate between alcohol and other substances, and what impact does this dichotomy have on those struggling with addiction?As they delve into possible solutions, Dr. Avery shares insights on the effectiveness of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in helping individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms to overcome addiction. Furthermore, they explore the unfair societal reactions towards relapse in addiction compared to other diseases like cancer.

The Rational Egoist: Navigating Political Landscapes with Prof. Bryan Caplan In this episode, our host Michael Liebowitz is joined by esteemed economist, Professor Bryan Caplan, to unravel the complex spectrum of political ideologies that exist today. Professor Caplan brings a fresh perspective to the conversation, drawing on historical perspectives, economic theories, and his latest book, “Voters as Mad Scientists: Essays on Political Irrationality." The discussion kicks off by tracing the roots of political left and right ideologies back to the French Revolution. Professor Caplan provides a historical take, characterising the left as those who seek change through drastic measures such as those who started the french revolution by blaming the rich, while the right is painted as the defenders of individual freedoms and peace.The conversation then turns towards a psychological perspective – the role of jealousy as a catalyst for political antipathy. They explore how jealousy, when politicised, can morph into philosophies like Marxism and socialism. This jealousy, they argue, is often directed towards successful merchants, more so than monarchs, as their success can undermine the excuses of those who have achieved less.Despite this stark analysis, the episode ends on a hopeful note with discussions on market optimism. Prof. Caplan elucidates the resilience of the free market, even in the face of socialist attempts at disruption. However, he exhibits less optimism for the political realm, where both sides, he argues, are sliding towards socialist policies.Their final, thought-provoking point questions the act of voting and whether time might be better spent pursuing individual passions. This episode is a must-listen for those interested in exploring politics from a unique, historical and psychological standpoint. Tune in for an enlightening hour that will challenge your preconceptions and broaden your perspective on politics and economics.

The Rational Egoist with Michael Liebowitz: Rediscovering Objectivism in Today's Society with Dr Harry Binswanger Join host Michael Liebowitz in this inspiring discussion as he interviews influential objectivist philosopher, author, and lecturer, Harry Binswanger.

During the podcast, Liebowitz and Binswanger delve into the erosion of reason and the influence of philosopher Emanuel Kant, who separated reason from reality through flawed arguments. They examine how this separation has led intellectuals astray, embracing socialism instead of embracing the foundations upon which the United States was built—reason and individualism."The Rational Egoist" underscores the significance of reason as the means of acquiring knowledge and achieving survival, contrary to Kant's skepticism.

The podcast challenges misconceptions surrounding rights, emphasizing that they are not inherent at birth or bestowed by a higher power. Instead, rights are moral principles that define and safeguard an individual's freedom of action in a social context.Liebowitz and Binswanger make a compelling case for laissez-faire capitalism, the only system grounded in the principles of rights and individual liberty. They discuss the stark contrast between the current societal structure and the ideal of true freedom, where government's role is limited to defense and the protection of individuals' rights."The Rational Egoist with Michael Liebowitz" offers a thought-provoking exploration of Objectivism's relevance in contemporary society.

The Rational Egoist with Michael Liebowitz: Debating Theism from an Objectivist Perspective with Benjamin Seevers Join host Michael Liebowitz as he engages in a lively debate with Benjamin Seevers on theism in this intellectually stimulating episode of "The Rational Egoist." Michael challenges Benjamin's assertion that God is an immaterial rational creator. The conversation revolves around the role of rationality, the burden of proof, and the axiomatic nature of human existence and consciousness. Through a rational examination of arguments and concepts, this podcast episode aims to shed light on the compatibility (or lack thereof) between theism and the principles of Objectivism. Episode Highlights: Michael presents the argument that rationality is dependent on physicality, emphasizing that thought requires a brain, which is a physical organ. Benjamin defends theism by claiming that God is an undeniable axiom and uses a Cartesian argument, asking how one can be certain of God's non-existence. Michael counters Benjamin's claims by stating that the existence of an evil Demon is baseless without rational justification. Benjamin asserts that the human mind cannot arise randomly, while Michael clarifies that evolution follows the principles of cause and effect, dismissing the notion of randomness. The axiomatic concepts of existence and consciousness, as outlined by Ayn Rand, are explored as foundations for rational thought, yet they do not inherently prove or disprove the existence of a creator. Michael argues that while humans learn from universal laws, the idea of an intervening entity goes against these laws and fails to provide evidence for the existence of God. Takeaways: Listeners will gain insights into the clash of ideas between evidence based reasoning and theism, exploring the rationality of religious beliefs and the importance of evidence-based reasoning. By delving into the core principles of objective philosophy and questioning the claims made by Benjamin Seevers, "The Rational Egoist" presents a thought-provoking examination of theism from an Objectivist perspective.

The Rational Egoist: Exploring Education, Rights, and Parental Choice with Manju Gerber Join host Michael Liebowitz on "The Rational Egoist" podcast as he delves into thought-provoking discussions about education, individual rights, and parental autonomy. In this episode, Michael interviews Manju Gerber, the President of Moms for Liberty at Hartford County, CT, a group for parents seeking to make introduce a new education system to align with their values. The conversation takes an interesting turn when they explore the concept of rights and how it relates to education. Manju argues that certain aspects of the curriculum, such as racial education, sex education, and LGBTQ education, violate a child's rights. However, Michael challenges this viewpoint by emphasising the that true rights encompass the freedom to not attend school at all or to abstain from specific subjects, rights do not encompass just one viewpoint. True rights would focus on advocating for a separation of education from government control, granting parents the ultimate authority to decide what their child learns. While the group Manju represents seeks reforms within the current system, Michael raises the critical point that their cause is more about parental choice and individual preferences than true liberty and rights. Join "The Rational Egoist" with Michael Liebowitz and explore the intriguing dynamics of education, rights, and parental decision-making in a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating conversation with Manju Gerber, from Moms for Liberty.

The Rational Egoist: The Myth of Mental Illness and the Therapeutic State with Jeffrey Schaler In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz interviews Jeffrey Schaler, author of "Szasz Under Fire," to discuss Thomas Szasz's psychology and his belief that mental illness is a myth. They delve into the concept of involuntary psychiatry and the notion that no one should be forced into treatment. They explore the idea that mental health is an existential problem of living and that individuals must be free to make their own decisions.Schaler argues that even with mental illness, people still have the free will to make good decisions. He challenges the notion that just because someone hears a voice telling them to do something, it means they must do it. Schaler also questions the validity of mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or anxiety, as physical malfunctions since the mind cannot be identified through an autopsy.The conversation also touches on the idea of gender being a subjective experience of being male or female, while sex is the biological component. They discuss how branding someone as mentally ill due to identifying as a different gender takes away their freedom of speech and uses psychology as law.The episode concludes with a discussion on addiction and the belief that it is not a disease, but rather a volitional behavior that people can control. Liebowitz and Schaler argue that psychology has become an extension of the law, and that psychologists cannot know with certainty who may harm themselves or others. They challenge the idea that statistics are used in courts to remove responsibility and plead insanity, and emphasize the importance of individual freedom and responsibility in mental health treatment.

The Rational Egoist: Debunking the False Premise of ESG Funds with Lipton Matthews In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz interviews researcher and Mises publications contributor, Lipton Matthews, to discuss the false premise of ESG funds. ESG stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, and is a type of emotional investment fund that appeals to wokeism rather than proper economics. Matthews provides an objectivist perspective by arguing that the principal purpose of a business is to create value for shareholders, and any concerns beyond that are irrelevant to the proper functioning of the market. The conversation centers on how ESG funds are based on the false premise that businesses should be responsible for addressing social and environmental issues. Matthews argues that ESG funds undermine the efficiency of the market by prioritizing non-financial criteria over financial performance, leading to lower returns for investors. He also reveals that economic analysis of ESG funds has shown that companies with ESG funds generally underperform those without them. Matthews explains that ESG funds are generally an emotional appeasement to the woke movement, rather than a sound economic choice. He contends that ESG funds are not linked to the purpose of a business, which is making money, and are a political movement rather than an economic or entrepreneurial movement. Matthews also argues that wokeism is similar to Marxism and based on utilitarian utopia, almost like a religion. He emphasizes that economic freedom produces better economic growth than good governance, and people who do not understand capitalism do not realize that the houses they live in and the cheap goods they buy are due to capitalism. Overall, this episode of The Rational Egoist provides a critical analysis of ESG funds from an objectivist perspective, debunking their false premise and arguing for the importance of economic freedom and sound economic decision-making in the proper functioning of the market.

The Rational Egoist: Navigating Schisms in the Liberty Movement with Scott Schiff from The Atlas Society Description: In this episode of The Rational Egoist, host Michael Liebowitz sits down with Scott Schiff from The Atlas Society to discuss the schisms within the liberty movement. The liberty movement has experienced several schisms, including anarcho-capitalism, open and closed Objectivist systems, and libertarianism. These schisms have led to heated debates and disagreements among those seeking freedom, resulting in the banning of people from different groups due to intellectual differences. However, what is often missed in these debates is the fundamental belief shared by all freedom seekers - the belief that there should be no initiation of force against others, and that people have a right to their own life. Michael and Scott highlight the importance of focusing on the bigger picture and recognizing that there are only a few people in the world who follow morality based on Ayn Rands ideas. The liberty movement aims to change the philosophy of society to change the government, and the philosophical route that somebody takes to arrive at a conclusion that is in line with this morality should not be relevant. Instead of invalidating the entire person, individuals should be able to disagree with a point that someone has made without resorting to conflict. The hosts question why rational people go to war with each other against intellectual disagreements and ignore the looters who are the real problem. The schisms within the liberty movement have created a Civil War-like situation, where individuals are excluded from different groups due to simple intellectual disagreements. The fundamental philosophical ideas that people have, such as life being a standard of value and the purpose of the government being to protect individual rights, should be enough for people to remain civil and fight the real problem - those who use government to destroy freedom. In conclusion, this episode of The Rational Egoist highlights the importance of focusing on the bigger picture, recognizing the fundamental beliefs that shared by all who believe in liberty, and remaining civil in the face of intellectual disagreements. Schisms within liberty ideas should not lead to conflict, and individuals should recognize that they are all on the same side in fighting leftist ideology.
