It's not enough to point out problems with Ayn Rand's egoism/altruism binary (as Joia did in the AGM), let's work to figure out a better model that integrates how as human beings we are both profoundly social and profoundly individual.

Is Ayn Rand's definition of "sacrifice" just factually, empirically wrong? Would it matter if it is? Is altruism a significant cause in the threat to freedom we see on both the left and the right today?

Joia Houheneka at 1776 ForwardIntroducing 1776 Forward: 10 ThemesIntroducing 1776 Forward: 10 ThemesWelcome to the launch of 1776 Forward! In this introductory episode, co-founders Chris and Joia explore 10 themes that describe what this new grassroots movement is all about.

The 10 themes:

1.) Each American is unique – a free society values autonomy and community

2.) What all American share: a set of values / “America” as an ideal

3.) What is Philosophical Liberalism?


4.) Liberalism is an ongoing project – change is built into the system


5.) Freedom to think: reason, science, enlightenment values, and the marketplace of Ideas


6.) Freedom to act: the creator-trader network


7.) The need for a government that protects individual rights


8.) The need for individuals to insist on their rights – especially now


9.) 3 ways to stand up and speak out (stop the bad, keep the good, build the better)


10.) A noble inspiration – philosophical liberalism and the moral high ground
