"Every assault on freedom has begun with an assault on reason and every assault on reason has begun by attacking man’s confidence that his mind, operating on the basis of sense perception, is capable of grasping reality objectively." - Dr. David Kelley

The Primacy of Existence

Just when you thought it was safe to assert that existence exists...
It's hard to imagine, but more and more people today see facts as being flexible, shifting based on our thoughts, fears, and feelings. Don't believe it? Just turn on the news tonight.
It's high time someone set them straight!
Enjoy this lecture by Dr. David Kelley on the "Primacy of Existence." Even though this recording is over 20 years old, it could not be more relevant today.

Listen to The Primacy of Existence in Galt's Gulch.

"In a fully free society, taxation - or, to be exact, payment for governmental services - would be voluntary. Since the proper services of a government - the police, the armed forces, the law courts - are demonstrably needed by individual citizens and affect their interests directly, the citizens would (and should) be willing to pay for such services, as they pay for insurance." - Ayn Rand
