Listen Later

In this episode of The Rational Egoist Podcast, host Michael Liebowitz interviews Gabrielle Bauer, the author of the book Blindsight is 2020, about Covid dissidents and the philosophical implications of Covid policies. T

hey delve into the idea that socialism has turned science into a religion to follow instead of realizing that science is based on information that is constantly changing. They discuss how individualism was not considered in the Covid policies, which led to both vaccine mandates and delays, ultimately resulting in government intervention on both sides.

The conversation also touches on the shaming and bullying that occurred during the pandemic, as people were judged and put into boxes based on their mask-wearing habits. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on the intersection of philosophy and Covid policies.


Michael Liebowitz is a philosopher, political activist, and host of the Rational Egoist podcast. He is a passionate advocate of reason and his views have been heavily influenced by the philosopher Ayn Rand.

Liebowitz has dedicated his life to promoting its principles of rational self-interest, individualism, and reason. In addition to his work as a podcast host, Liebowitz is also a prominent spokesperson for the Libertarian Party for Connecticut - USA and has been involved in a number of political debates advocating for individual rights and freedoms through his YouTube videos and interviews.

Liebowitz's life story is a testament to the transformative power of the writings of Ayn Rand. After spending 25 years in prison, he was able to turn his life around by embracing the principles of rational self-interest and morality espoused by Ayn Rand. He has since become an influential voice in the libertarian and Objectivist communities, using his own experience to inspire others to live their lives in accordance with reason, individualism, and self-interest.

Liebowitz is also the co-author of "Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Correction Encourages Crime," a book that explores the ways in which misguided societal attitudes towards punishment and rehabilitation have led to a rise in crime and recidivism. In addition to his work in politics and philosophy, Liebowitz is a regular guest on the Todd Feinburg show at WTIC, where he provides expert commentary on a range of political and social issues.
