 Thank you for the talk and all the work you do with the Iron Rand Institute. This is more of a practical question. We saw classical liberalism and the ideas of the Enlightenment as to slowly degrading from ideas of negative freedom into positive freedom. I think this could be summed up quite well in a quote from Milton Friedman, where Sir Parafresi says something like, libertarianism doesn't have a PR department, but governments do. Doesn't have a what? A PR. A PR, yes. Public relations. And so how, and I asked this question of an MP of ours, Sir Christopher Chope, how do you make freedom sexy and stop it from declining into a more positive idea of so-called freedom that is actually just collectivism under a different banner? My guess is to give your lame answer. Because what do politicians know? Freedom depends on philosophical premises. Freedom requires that at least those of us who advocate for it, who are going to go out and market it and make it sexy, have a deep understanding of the philosophical foundations of freedom. And I know libertarians don't like hearing this, certainly conservatives don't. You need Iron Rand. You need a philosophy. You need a metaphysics and epistemology and an ethics. You need grounding. You come across as, we love freedom, we want to take our drugs. That's what libertarians come across, particularly in the U.S., right? And even if you don't want to take your drugs, that's what it comes across as. You need to have an intellectual philosophical argument. The attack on you is not random. It is from Plato. It's not a second-rate guy. It's like a first-rate guy. The attack against individualism and capitalism and freedom is from Plato. It's from Immanuel Kant. It's from Hegel and Schopenhauer and Marx and Nietzsche even. And these are big shots. And you have maybe Locke, Hume who's a skeptic. So, you know, it's freedom and skepticism. I'm not sure you'll go together. Anna Smith who basically said, yeah, we all practice our self-interest, and I don't really like self-interest, but there's an invisible hand that makes the self-interest all be good again because society's better off. See, it falls onto collectivism in the end. You don't have intellectuals. You don't have, you know, the firepower to win. And you've got to have Iron Man. Iron Man is the only one you have. And yet, the sad tragedy of libertarianism and people who advocate for free markets is that they've rejected Iron Man. Imagine a world in which Hayek actually respects Iron Man, doesn't have to agree with him, but just respects him and engages in a dialogue and promotes who is a philosopher, right? Imagine a world in which von Mises, I think the greatest economist who ever lived, says, look, I'm a great economist, but I'm not a philosopher. Rand, for the philosophy, go to who? No, he has to have proxology and all this nonsense and try to be a philosopher instead of sticking to what he's really, really good at, which is economics. Same with Hayek, by the way, great economist, just middle-of-the-road social thinker. He's just not that exceptional when it comes to his social thinking. He's fairly conventional. So to make it second, and think about within the libertarian world, the free market world, who makes it sexy? Who brings people to these ideas more than anybody else? Who's more sexy than Dagny Taggart? Yes. Or Howard Rourke, if you're, you know. That, you know, so you need art, you need aesthetics, you need philosophy, and we definitely need aesthetics and art. You need to be able to convey their ideas in a variety of different formats, but you need for that a philosophical grounding. You know, the problem, how can libertarians defend good art when they're subjectivists in too many areas in their life, including art? Well, anything goes. No, some art is good, some art is lousy, and some stuff that we consider art is not even art at all. Right? But you need standards. And where are you going to get those standards? Not from your emotions, from your reason. You need a philosophy. So what we need is to embrace a real philosophy, and I think Ayn Rand is it.
