The Current Situation• USA Share of World GDP is 21%, down from

28%, five years ago

• The world is growing GDP at an average rate of 5%

since the 1960s, and 4% since 2000

• Politicians, Pundits and the Media tell us every day

that we must accept a New Normal of… 1% to 2%

• The result will be that the USA concedes its

Leadership role by 2035. The World will be in Chaos

• Today 132 Nations are growing faster than the USA

• 81 Nations with over 4% growth and 57 with over 5% growth

What are we doing wrong?

• Politicians are confused/unworthy & focus on minutia

• Pundits are partisan and spin the Media

• The Media are malevolent & report concocted crises

• The Result is daily unproductive information flow of:

• Celebrity stories of indiscretion, Political stories of horse

races, Foreign stories of unrest, revolution and

homicide, and Economic stories of minor deviations from

expectations set by Pundits.

• Reporting Results that focus on

• Growth

• Market Segments

HUMAN

FULFILLMENT

“A Journey of

Competition, Empowerment, Freedom, Econo

mic Independence and Limited Government”

It starts with Individual Integrity

INDIVIDUAL INTEGRITY• A Business, Society or

Nation, can only be

great and everlasting

when a Majority of it’s

Members are Moral

• The essence of Ayn Rand

philosophy is:

• “Man is a heroic being, with

his own happiness as the

moral purpose of his life, with

productive achievement as

his noblest activity, and

reason as his only absolute,”

• Moral Purpose is choosing right from wrong

• Have faith in Man’s Creator.The Ten Commandments are a useful guide.

• Experience each moment now.

• Rely on your judgment, your inner voice, your human nature

• Do the Right Thing.

• Avoid the Siren Song.

• Productive Achievement leads to Success and Self-Reliance and avoids Dependency.

• What did you learn yesterday that you can convince someone else to write a check for tomorrow?

• Reason based on facts, not good intentions, increases everyone’s Prosperity.

Morality Matrix by Jonathon Haidt

Narratives that are Poles Apartfrom “The Righteous Mind” by Jonathon Haidt

• Modern Conservative Narrative

• Once upon a time America was a shining

beacon. Then liberals came along and erected

an enormous federal bureaucracy that

handcuffed the invisible hand of the free market.

They subverted our traditional American values

and opposed God and faith at every step of the

way… Instead of requiring that people work for a

living, they siphoned money from hardworking

Americans and gave it to Cadillac-driving drug

addicts and welfare queens. Instead of

punishing criminals, they tried to “understand”

them . Instead of worrying about the victims of

crime, they worried about the rights of

criminals… Instead of adhering to traditional

American values of family, fidelity, and personal

responsibility, they preached promiscuity, pre-

marital sex, and the gay life style… and they

encouraged a feminist agenda that undermined

traditional family roles… Instead of projecting

strength to those who would do evil around the

world, they cut military budgets, disrespected

our soldiers in uniform, burned our flag, and

chose negotiation and multilateralism… Then

Americans decided to take their country back

from those who sought to undermine it.

• Liberal Progressive Narrative

• Once upon a time, the vast majority of human

persons suffered in societies and social

institutions that were

unjust, unhealthy, repressive and oppressive.

These traditional societies were

reprehensible because of their deep rooted

inequality, exploitation, and irrational

traditionalism… But the noble human

aspiration for autonomy, equality, and

prosperity struggled mightily against the

forces of misery and oppression, and

eventually succeeded in establishing modern

, liberal, democratic, capitalist, welfare

societies. While modern social conditions

hold the potential to maximize individual

freedom and pleasure of all, there is much

work to be done to dismantle the powerful

vestiges of inequality, exploitation and

repression. This struggle for the good society

in which individuals are equal and free to

pursue their self-defined happiness is the one

mission truly worth dedicating one’s life to

achieving.
