The Atlas Society Presents - Objectively SpeakingAuthor: The Atlas Society
We promote open Objectivism: the philosophy of reason, achievement, individualism, and freedom. Ayn Rand's philosophy of Objectivism was set forth in such works as her epic novel Atlas Shrugged, and in her brilliant non-fiction essays. Objectivism is designed as a guide to life, and celebrates the remarkable potential and power of the individual. Objectivism also challenges the doctrines of irrationalism, self-sacrifice, brute force, and collectivism that have brought centuries of chaos and misery into the lives of millions of individuals. It provides fascinating insights into the world of politics, art, education, foreign policy, science, and more, rewarding you with a rich understanding of how ideas shape your world. Those who discover Objectivism often describe the experience as life-changing and liberating. Ayn Rand's philosophical works have been praised as presenting historic breakthroughs in thinking. At the Atlas Society, our scholars work to further develop this philosophy born in the mid-twentieth century. We present the empowering principles of Objectivism to a global audience, and offer those principles as a rational and moral alternative in the marketplace of philosophical ideas.

The Dark Side of "Social Emotional Learning" with Priscilla West
Wednesday, 8 April, 2026
Join Atlas Society CEO Jennifer Grossman for the 297th episode of Objectively Speaking, where she is joined by author Priscilla West to talk about her book, "The New Face of Woke Education," which exposes Social Emotional Learning (SEL) as a toxic brew of psychology and sustainability aimed to promote collectivist propaganda in modern classrooms. Priscilla West worked as a refinery engineer, traded jet fuel in the Atlantic basin, and brokered Caribbean oil supply cargoes before shifting gears to full-time motherhood — where the stakes remain high and negotiations far less predictable. With experience that spans boardrooms and bedtime routines, she now dedicates herself to education advocacy, championing a return to the classical pursuit of Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. As a researcher for Peter Schweizer’s Government Accountability Institute and a chapter chair of Moms for Liberty, her writing reflects a life lived at the intersection of global affairs, community leadership, and endless chauffeuring of teenagers with her sense of humor intact.
