Welcome!  This is Five Minutes With Robert & Amy Nasir!

2026-01-25 - Episode 295 -  The Tao Of Rand
 
Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism, as a Source and System of Wisdom.  Wisdom vs. knowledge.  Metaphysics and gratitude.  Rationality and equanimity.  The primacy of values.  The Three C's of Capitalism: Creation, Cooperation, Competition. Purposeful action.  Being right in order to live right (versus chasing distractions, experiencing trivial (non-)victories, winning arguments).  The value of debate, contrasted with the value of self-interest, self-composure, serenity.  "We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?"  What we never had to take seriously ... and what we must take very seriously. 


2026-01-18 - Episode 294 - Ninety-Six/Four?
 
What can one do?  Let's have a war!  Blind followers and blind rebels.  "21st Century Schizoid Man."  Something must be done.  Beans on toast.  And give me a double ... neat, no ice.
