In this episode, we finally get to the end of Chapter 1! Jonathan focuses on how Chapter 1 has set obstacles in Dagny's path and projected the atmosphere of decay. The chapter ends with two characters "dropping out": Richard Halley who has remained out of public life and Owen Kellogg who decides to quit Taggart Transcontinental. In the last scene, Owen Kellogg quits without providing a reason, but with an amused smile. Jonathan expands on their frustration with how the male characters keep Dagny out of the loop as to the real reasons for their going on strike.
Today's Moment of Non-Contradiction comes from Reddit.
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?
