  • Summary

  • In this episode, Jonathan discusses the end of the backstory of Francisco and Dagny's relationship. In reference to the "exhilaration" of Francisco's manic overworking, Jonathan draws out the distinction between workaholism and flow state. Flow state is a concept explained by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (click here for his book on the flow state). This episode contains a lot of commentary about trust in relationships and how Francisco d'Anconia violates Dagny's trust.

    My five themes to explore in this podcast's close read of Atlas Shrugged are:

    1. What is human nature?
    2. Straw-man arguments and their impact on the world Ayn Rand creates.
    3. Dagny Taggart as a true hero.
    4. How empathy can be de-legitimized.
    5. What is Capitalism and what is wrong with it?
