Is it time to end the so-called war on drugs? What about the war on economic inequality? Is the rate of innovation slowing down? And if so, why? These are only some of the topics that Yaron Brook will discuss at the Battle of Ideas 2016 this weekend.
On October 29, ARI will be at AM 560 The Answer’s Freedom Summit Chicago 2016. Yaron Brook and Steve Simpson will start the conference with morning sessions, in which they present their radical Objectivist perspective on two of today’s most important issues; namely, the inequality debate and freedom of speech.
Today, October 19, you are invited to join Amanda Maxham, ARI research associate, as she will argue that so-called organic foods aren’t healthier, safer or better than their conventional counterparts and that the organic label represents the wrong approach to food entirely. Maxham will also respond to questions from both the local and live stream audiences.
Concern about the safety, value and production of food is prompting a growing number of shoppers to fill their grocery store carts with food labeled “organic.” But despite a reputation as the “Cadillac of foods,” organic foods aren’t healthier, safer or better than their conventional counterparts. The growing popularity of organic is rooted in consumers’ belief that when it comes to food, “natural is better.”
How are Ayn Rand’s views related to ancient Greece? How do ideas shape culture and history? Tomorrow, October 15, Yaron Brook will break from his speaking tour in Europe to share his insights from Greece.
Through the second half of October, ARI’s executive director Yaron Brook will be back on the road again. This time, he will be touring in Europe, where he will give talks on Ayn Rand’s philosophy, business, Atlas Shrugged, and the moral argument for laissez-faire capitalism.
Great news Denver! Beginning October 10, The Yaron Brook Show is now syndicated to Denver’s AM 1690 KDMT, Denver’s Money Talk 1690. The show will be on the air three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:00 p.m. mountain time.
This Saturday, October 8, Yaron Brook takes on the alt-right. What is the alt-right? Is it the culture movement that disgruntled conservatives are looking for? Or is it a racist reaction to the Black Lives Matter movement? Should we be worried about what they promote?
What is free will? Does it even exist? Does it matter? Last week Elan Journo previewed some of the topics to be covered at Ayn Rand Student Conference 2016.
