Matt Kibbe sits down with Mark Pellegrino, a film and television actor who’s had roles in such successful projects as “The Big Lebowski,” “Lost,” and “Mulholland Drive.” They talk about Mark’s devotion to Ayn Rand and the philosophy of freedom, cancel culture in Hollywood, postmodernism, and how dignity comes from autonomy and self-worth, not a government handout.

Dignity must surely be based upon a definition that includes the integrity of the individual mind. Not just staying-the-same without any change. Integrity might well be partly defined by the dignity of the individual mind as an ongoing practice in self-sovereignty. We might expect that self-sovereignty does not mean limited-to-narcissism.
Autonomy and independence, yeah.
