I thought it interesting the comment from one of the members of audience. She started off her comments with "I used to agree with your point-of-view, but now I am more educated...". By education, she means that her views on life, society, and the correlation between the two have been indoctrinated by people who want to control her thoughts. She also implies that this is a capitalistic society. Exacly! Is it possible that her education is a goods produced for profit in this capitalist society? Could be her education is that "invisible hand" that perpetuates the that system?

Here are a few highlights of Ayn's philosophy. 

1) The concept of God takes away our ability to reason and, therefore, make us vulnerable to control.

2) The concept of "original sin" serves the same purpose in that it justifies our bad behavior, takes away our ability to reason (make "good" choices), and renders us vulnerable to the control (religion). When people can think for themselves, there would be no reason for government, right?

I actually enjoyed this interview a lot more than the one from 1959. Ms. Rand is not afraid to take a strong position on her ideas. That is an admirable quality.

Again, thanks for sharing this video.

Hi Kimeli,

I watched a similar interview with Ayn Rand just the other day. She is a very interesting woman (to say the least). Her perspective, I am confident, was not popular in her day. It surely is not popular in this day, many years after the fact.

Here is another interview with her from 1959. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ooKsv_SX4Y

Peace
