The Minimum You Should Know About Ayn Rand

What’s the absolute minimum you need to know about Ayn Rand — and why does it matter?

In this episode of The Deep Dive, we cut through decades of distortion and hostility to deliver the core of Rand’s philosophy in plain language. No academic jargon. No partisan noise. Just the essentials: reason as man’s only means of knowledge, the morality of rational self-interest, and the political ideal of individual rights under capitalism.

Whether you admire her, misunderstand her, or have only heard her name in passing, this episode gives you the minimum intellectual fuel to think for yourself — and maybe, to rethink everything.

Because sometimes, the minimum… is everything.
