Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar and Professor of Political Economy at Duke Richard Salsman, Ph.D., for a Twitter/X Spaces discussion exploring the challenges conservatives face in advancing their ideas politically.
"Unlike liberals, Democrats, libertarians, Republicans, and Objectivists, conservatives have no distinct name brand to suggest what they actually stand for and would fight for, other than what rivals have instituted in the past. Conservatives can’t gain ground morally or politically because they’re always on their heels, reacting, helping their foes consolidate their gains. Conservatives should cease being so ideologically promiscuous, pick a lane (actual brand name), and adopt the absolutist, rock-ribbed principles which promote and sustain reason, liberty, and capitalism."

Join Atlas Society Senior Scholar and Professor of Philosophy at Rockford, Stephen Hicks, Ph.D., for a Spaces on Twitter/X where Dr. Hicks discussed why racialist language is wrong historically and philosophically.
“Beware of racialist language. When revenge racism leads some to blame ‘whites’ for slavery, some respond by pointing out, accurately, that the battle against slavery was firstly and mostly accomplished by Europeans and North Americans. The dangerous temptation, though, is to adopt the same racialist premise and—instead of blaming ‘whites’ for slavery—crediting ‘whites’ with ending it.”
Join Atlas Society Senior Fellow Robert Tracinski for a Twitter/X Spaces discussion on the Objectivist principle of “objective law,” and why it is so important.
"The 'rule of law' is considered a basic principle of a civilized society. How does this relate to the Objectivist principle of "objective law," and why is objective law so important?"
