How Fictional Worlds Affect Our Worldview
Thu, Nov 19, 8:00 AMJoin us for an evening of intellectual exploration as we discuss a current topic in Australia. We will dive into how stories shape our minds, exploring Vinay Kolhatkar's insights from The Savvy Street on why human beings are genetically wired for story. We will examine how fictional narratives serve as an ancient virtual reality technology—projecting us into simulations of life's biggest dilemmas—and why Ayn Rand emphasized that art's primary value is giving us the experience of living in a world where things are as they ought to be. Join us as we discuss how narrative structures, emotional engagement, and classical storytelling influence our deepest beliefs and worldview. **Evening Schedule** 6:00 PM: Doors Open & Welcome 7:00 PM: Speaker session & Q&A 8:30 PM: Networking & Refreshments **Who Should Attend?** Anyone interested in philosophy, individual rights, and the moral foundations of capitalism. Whether you are well-versed in Ayn Rand content or simply curious about the role of reason and literature in society, we welcome your presence and your questions. RSVP: Please click "Going" to help us manage capacity. Cost: Free, but please support the venue by purchasing a drink or food. Location: Shakespeare Hotel. By attending this event, you consent to photography and videography for use in Australian Centre for Objectivism promotional materials.
