5 жыл бұрынAyn Rand at Columbia University -- part 7: Issues in Education
Course playlist: • Ayn Rand at Columbia U...
In this 1964 radio interview, Ayn Rand gives her views on education, including the causes of its decline and the principles that should guide rational educators. Rand discusses such issues as the essential purpose of education, the “flight from reason” caused by philosophers such as Kant, the links between altruism and irrationalism in education, the necessity of guiding children toward intellectual independence, the evils of dogma and indoctrination, the difference between fact and interpretation, some essentials of rational curriculum, the impropriety of forced racial segregation and integration, the parental “responsibility and privilege” to guide their children’s education, and the chaos of college education featuring a “different epistemology in every classroom.”

😢 I found Ayn Rand's books just before I was about to land in college, but I was actually waiting since my early school days for it to make sense to me. Looking back to those years, now that I'm through with 'education', l feel that I was fortunate to discover and later explore her ideas.

Incredibly moving.....Ayn Rand has more wisdom than anyone I have ever heard, when it comes to describing Utopia.....the absolutely essential relationship between teacher and student. The truth never changes...despite the various and sundry interpretations of collegiates, or ecclesiastics for that matter. Without the truth, transmitted, the student, undoubtedly, goes awry. I finally see how Utopia arises out of a communist ideology!!!! Hallelujah!
@illoominate 4 жыл бұрын
Ayn Rand says that the education system is designed "almost, as if it were, on purpose" to paralyze man's mind. Then she utterly neglects to mention that that's only possible because government has a monopoly on education. It's maddening how virtually everyone misses this single important point: that the government monopoly on education must end.

She recognizes this and it's covered in some of her essays in the book Philosophy: Who Needs It. Privatisation of schools will not fix the underlying philosophy in the cultural overnight, of course, but it's a crucial step before we see further change.

I remember stating the concept she presented regarding racist business owners to a conservative Republican (which I thought I was at the time) at the time of the gay wedding cake argument. He vehemently disagreed with me. I had only read a restaurant at the time, and I didn’t realize that her philosophy was coming out of my mouth. I think the problem was that I believed the words republicans preached, but didn’t see that they NEVER practice it. It’s a mental illness, the worship of the state. I’m pretty sure it was intentionally designed that way. It’s easier to control them that way.

Why didn’t MY switch get flipped? The pretending I love liberty, yet loving authoritarian practices. Why haven’t I been conditioned to do that, but THEY did? Is it divergence of thought process? Or is it that they completely lack identity and desire only to follow follow follow, repeat repeat repeat?

True education is for the few, that can understand it. Not masses of sheep. The sheep pay money, but never get it. If it were, everyone would be an Ayn Rand, Elon Musk, Picasso, TE Lawrence. It's not the case. Around 1% of the population has an IQ of 140. Hers was around 160. Statistics show this is one person out of about 32,000

You might want to look into the difference between her definitions of 'altruism' and 'benevolence'. There's a program on this channel which directly addresses the topic. To Ms Rand, altruism is a subordination of individual rights and freedoms to collective ones, and implies compelled sacrifice rather than generosity.
@dougpridgen9682 3 жыл бұрын
How is self sacrifice, giving up values, rational? It would be like earning a living and throwing your income in the street as soon as you get paid, rather than buying food, shelter, and other life sustaining/enhancing values. Altruism leads to death.
