Episode 084: Safe for Work




Bad Philosophy show

Summary: Bad Philosophy Episode 084 "Safe for Work" Recorded 02-05-2011 Bad Philosophers: Stephen Torrence, Kiki Canon, Jediah Cummins Ever get the feeling that society is holding you back? Like a ball and chain are just wrapped around your ankles, and if you could only break free and be your own person, the world would miraculously become your sandbox? Well according to Ayn Rand, that ball and chain are nothing more than your own inhibitions. Success is there for the taking! Oh, but just remember to bring a plow. This week on BF we tackle quite possibly the most controversial piece of philosophical literature to ever spend 50 years in development hell before they finally made a crappy movie out of it: Atlas Shrugged. Joining me to bite into this tasty morsel were recent Rand reader Jed Cummins and Rand resister Kiki Canon. Ready for some self-interested Objectivismania? Well get on board!
