Description:
This video is a broad overview of the philosophy of Ayn Rand. It goes over themes covered in her two most famous works—Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. It looks at the so called “Five Pillars of Objectivism” and goes over some in depth. The basic idea behind Objectivism is rational self-ineterest, the notion that you should put yourself above all else. This stems from a belief in objective reality and man’s capacity to reason. The politics of Objectivism are Laissez Faire Capitalism. Also, has anyone noticed that descriptions are about the most boring thing to write? Other things… Yaron Brook’s interview on the Rubin Report was instrumental to the making this video. If you haven’t played the video game Bioshock, you should absolutely go do that. Ayn Rand doesn’t really have an opinion one way or the other on weather or not you should save a drowning child (assuming you have know personal connection with the child). Rand thinks people like Immanuel Kant and Peter Singer are essentially evil. Also, who in the fuck is John Galt?

The Philosophy of BioShock - Wisecrack Edition -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKf4MtZ4RQANotes:
Reality exists as an objective absolute. Man’s mind—reason—is his means of perceiving it. And that man needs a rational morality. A philosophy not based on arbitrary things like emotion.
REASON is only guide to action. Man must lead by independent judgement of his own mind.
Each man must live as an and of himself and follow in his own rational self interest.
FREE WILL
Disdain for altruism
Objective Reality (facts are facts whether we like it or not), Reason (the interpreter of material provided by mans senses is “man's only means of perceiving reality, his only source of knowledge, his only guide to action, and his basic means of survival), Self-Interest (man—every man—is an end to himself, not an end for others), Capitalism (laissez faire, traders by free voluntary exchange)
Defines altruism as the contention that service to others is the only moral justification for his existence, that self-sacrifice is his highest moral duty
About the Site 🌐

Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
