"Issues in Education" by Ayn Rand

[@jeanbuchanan1474]

Thankyou Ayn Rand for so much. You opened my mind to philosophy, reality, objectivity, reason, self worth, everything...I can’t ever thank you so much..you gave me my life.

[@booni5114]

Right!! She gave me my life.

[@villager_2713]

Same here! Had an enlightment by her teachings and felt like I left the cave! Gonna take these lessons in my education system that I'm working on👌 Thank you, Miss Rand!🤝

Such a beautiful and powerful mind.

This is so true, the things I did outside of school did SO much more to develop my thinking abilities than anything I ever learnt in school. The amount of people with degrees that are considered 'smart' by society but actually have incredibly bad critical thinking skills is staggering.

I have listened to this interview probably 100 times over the last 10 years. It is like she is telling my brain what it always wanted to tell me, but was unable to.

[@TyyylerDurden]

The same situation... when I met these ideas and her logic for the first time, I thought that I was reading myself, only more sophisticated.

[@benvanrensburg4261]

Exactly my observation upon reading the first few pages of The Fountainhead. In my consequent journey, exploring the work of AR, the same feeling recurred again and again.

[@GB-ty2uc]

😢 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.

[@cherylnagy126]

all teachers must be experts in Logical Thought

[@illoominate]

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.

[@MDebou]

She writes all about that in her writings. She knows it and explains it

[@Thindorama]

It's not like private education would eliminate the problem though. It is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for a proper educational system.

[@mr.e5791]

Exactly

[@whousa642]

@@Thindorama // Private education has to, or it will perish.

[@YashArya01]

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.

The function of a human parent, is to teach the child how to survive, when the parent is no longer there. So many people abdicate that responsibility today, that is one of the causal agents of the problems of our society today.

[@jameswiblishauser9745]

She talks about university education paralyzing a man's mind, couldn't be more apparent than today. At some point it's going to totally break down, it has nowhere else to go.

[@louisbarbisan8471]

Take that and apply to what's happening in north America university teachings the students of the new norm of socialism as a better ways for society to live today's. It make me sick of the young mindset.

[@robinpower6061]

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!

[@kbruff2010]

Incredible thinker

[@science212]

[@davidthomas9276]

Fascinating to learn Kant wanted to destroy reason in order to promote altruism.

[@Adam-nk4oj]

Ayn is very intriguing, and offers some solutions that might be effective. However, relying only on rational based solely on the material excludes connecting a person to their intuition, instinct, a feeling that can't be explained at all times but has strong guidence non the less. Two people can be exposed to the same scenario but have had seperate experiences as a result of their emotions, perceptions, values and point of refence to how they prescribe meaning to the experience.

First words to a new class. Never believe your teacher. They need to convince you that they are correct. Then encourage learners to disagree with what you (the teacher) know are inherently the truth.

[@-breadfern5125]

I cant believe how terribly relevant her teachings are to today, and i fear we are headed to a complete and total socialist society in which america will inevitably fail

[@AnnaBananaRepublic]

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.

[@AnnaBananaRepublic]

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?

[@yufeng1707]

The opposite is happening to the gay wedding cake argument now. People are boycotting the companies that openly support sexual deviancy (ie the case with Budlight and Dylan Mulvaney). And it makes sense since they only make up 1% of the population. Turns out the Republican side that does business more seems to understand business at its roots more. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Now, this is a lie, clearly, altruism can be rationally justified and that is not even difficult. It's rather easy. But I agree with her on some points. 14:00 16:40 23:50 I fell in love with her.

[@CrankyHermit]

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]

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.

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
