In which Robert & Amy examine Justice, and The Primacy of Values and conclude ... you look marvelous! The first duty of justice. The practical win-win nature of compliments. Building a house versus knocking one down. Why war is more than "killing people and breaking things" ... what are we fighting for? Applauding virtues and values, ignoring mistakes and missteps, fighting lethargy and evil. Strategies for finding the motivation to excel. Also, The Dark Side Of The Moon turns 53, the Salem Witch Hunt begins, and Roger Daltrey turns 82 ... his hopes denied, he didn't die before he got old. Compliments and observations ... oh, you pretty things!

In which Robert Tracinski runs for Congress! An interview with candidate Tracinski ... including your questions! Why Rob Tracinski is running in Virginia's 5th Congressional District (currently represented by John McGuire, Republican), and what he intends to accomplish. Tracinski is also the author of the recently published Dictator from Day One: How Donald Trump is Overthrowing the Constitution and How to Fight Back, and we'll be sure to discuss some of those ways to fight back (besides running for Congress!). What you can do: how and why to support his writing and his campaign.

In which Robert & Amy fight Chaos with Order, fight The Irrational with Reason, fight evil & vices with values & virtues. How to change the world with just one small change in focus ... and have a great time in the process. Love, affection, kindness ... for others, and for oneself. Why choosing to take The higher Ground ... properly understood ... is a success strategy. Also, Mary Queen Of Scots (and why we no longer behead politicians), the mind/body dichotomy (and how NOT to fight it), and James Dean (drive carefully!). Plus, Valentine's Day, and the Superb Owl!

Ayn Rand's philosophy, Objectivism, as a Source and System of Wisdom. Wisdom vs. knowledge. Metaphysics and gratitude. Rationality and equanimity. The primacy of values. The Three C's of Capitalism: Creation, Cooperation, Competition. Purposeful action. Being right in order to live right (versus chasing distractions, experiencing trivial (non-)victories, winning arguments). The value of debate, contrasted with the value of self-interest, self-composure, serenity. "We never had to take any of it seriously, did we?" What we never had to take seriously ... and what we must take very seriously.

What can one do? Let's have a war! Blind followers and blind rebels. "21st Century Schizoid Man." Something must be done. Beans on toast. Robert & Amy address current events (for a change)!
