Topic: Groupthink

The conversation turns to the importance of individual free will and the human spirit as the primary drivers of American innovation. The speakers urge the audience to reject materialism and "groupthink" in favor of personal proactive involvement in governance. They argue that government control eventually squelches the incentive for success and self-destiny.

The hosts compare modern social conditioning to the "group psychology" that allowed ancient civilizations like the Aztecs to perform mass sacrifices. They argue that the dominant broadcast media creates a "false reality" that conditions Americans like "Pavlov's dogs" to worship money and accept high taxes. They cite the economic booms following tax cuts under Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan as evidence that reducing government control benefits the populace.
