I really enjoyed this talk with Ethan Nelson about the topic of need and ideas that he learned from the book “When the Body Says No” by Gabor Mate. Needs are never in a vacuum but are rather in a nexus and so they are much more nuanced than we like to think. We get into this and much more. Please check out Ethan’s podcast Becoming Conscious, Ethan also has a great Substack as well; his article on Mate’s book is what prompted the talk. Thank you again so much for your time Ethan.

Here Bethany and I wrap up our 4 episode series about Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand’s 1957 masterpiece of a novel. We had a wonderful conversation discussing Part 3 and the end of the novel, focusing on Galt’s Gulch; how it relates to Nietzsche’s Zarathustra descending into the valley, to the meaning of the mountain as an esoteric symbol, and to Christian themes. Bethany also describes how Galt’s Gulch harkens, almost like a premonition, to the “The Network State” by Balaji Srinivasan. We also discuss the cottagecore vibes of Galt’s Gulch. Enjoy!🍄 PS: To read Bethany’s writing, please subscribe to her substack; https://open.substack.com/pub/bethanybtabor?r=lm9mc&utm_medium=ios

Here Bethany and I talk about Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand’s 1957 masterpiece of a novel. We had a wonderful conversation discussing the great “money speech” in Part 2 as well as the literary atmosphere achieved by Rand’s writing. We also talk about a key symbol in the book as well as self-generating value and Earthy transcendence, touching on how Rand’s project is so akin to the work of Nietzsche and why that matters. As a heads up, we do discuss specific plot points from the book.

Here we discuss some of our favorite scenes and ideas from Part 1 of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand (continued from last week). We dig into the difference between entitlement and self-generating value, how politics relate to the family, and how the book speaks to free time and consumerism. Some plot details are revealed. We begin with a brief note on the Earth’s seasons and how they are so inextricable from us. Hope you’ll check it out!
