George H. Smith explains why Altruism is evil

Gena Gorlin | Deeper Connection Through Mutual Selfishness

This talk integrates the moral perspective offered by Rand’s “trader principle” with psychological tools and insights for improving assertive communication. Attendees will learn how skills such as reflective listening, the “broken record” technique, perspective-taking, and ”I”-statements can deepen the intimacy and value derived from close personal relationships, largely by conveying respect for the other person’s volition and value-context while also demanding respect for one’s own. 

Recorded at Objectivist Conferences 2018

Altruism is not kindness, good will and/or benevolence for each other

"Do not hide behind such superficialities as whether you should or should not give a dime to a beggar. That is not the issue. The issue is whether you do or do not have the right to exist without giving him that dime.
The issue is whether you must keep buying your life, dime by dime, from any beggar who might choose to approach you. The issue is whether the need of others is the first mortgage on your life and the moral purpose of your existence. The issue is whether man is to be regarded as a sacrificial animal. Any man of self-esteem will answer: “No.” Altruism says: “Yes.”"

--Ayn Rand, “Faith and Force: The Destroyers of the Modern World,”, Philosophy: Who Needs It, 61

[Altruism: alter or altrui - ism i.e. "other"-ism]

Shoshana Milgram - Frank Lloyd Wright and The Fountainhead

This talk was recorded at Objectivist Summer Conference 2018 in Newport Beach, California.


Frank Lloyd Wright and The Fountainhead: The Full Story

To what extent (if any) was Ayn Rand’s Howard Roark really Frank Lloyd Wright? The parallels between her fictional hero and an actual architect have, over time, been exaggerated, denied and distorted. This talk, drawing on Wright’s archives, uncovers key relevant facts. You will learn the full story, including Ayn Rand’s remarks on a never-reprinted Wright article and the secret negotiations regarding the prospect of his working on the 1949 film.
