Live Questions:
50:47 Adolf Eichman said just before he was hanged that he regretted nothing. Do you think he really believed that? I think On some level, every evil person knows they're wrong.
52:40 Your weekend show on Western Civ made me more rationally optimistic. One wrench contrary to “we have time to make things better” is gov’t debt. Don’t we actually have a debt crisis that rationally risks national bankruptcy?
54:46 Thank you for keeping us up to date by looking deep into these stories.
55:15 It's true, we flew over Saskatchewan on the way back from Alaska. There was so much land and fresh water. Could grow lots of food there if it warmed up.
55:38 Neil Peart-" In a world where I feel so small, I can't stop thinking big." I think he meant even though we are small physically compared to the universe, our minds make us big. 😊
56:22 Does freedom come from discipline? Delaying gratification?
57:14 Do you think the majority of your detractors actually comprehend you and genuinely disagree, or choose not to comprehend you? Doesn’t that distinction matter for moral judgment?
59:59 I did not send the paypal. Thank you for answering my question. Along those lines of the question. How do you view Singapore versus London. I have an opportunity to do business in both and I am weighing the two choices. Also, how do you think South East Asia will counter China economically?
1:09:25 Please review Community, Season 2 Episode 14: "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons." Thank you.
1:09:50 Reminder - public speaking seminar
1:11:54 Please do NOT start taking live calls going forward. It will ruin the show with stupid people like Scott and other trolls clogging up the line.
1:12:08 Seems the difference in strategy between you and Alex Epstein is Alex looks for allies, you look for differences. That's why Alex is far more influential.
1:14:23 Message from Alex Epstein about election
1:17:25 Generally I’m minding my business reading book exercising and taking care of self, but I find many people who doesn’t have any thing to do in life, and they just want to block my way of success, especially leftist, they don’t like to see me happy
1:19:01 Did you know Vivek was the head of the college Libertarians for many years at Yale? The guy clearly understands free markets.
1:19:42 F.L.Wright built some beautiful places of worship
1:20:16 Given that we have the holiday anyway, what should we be celebrating the first Monday in September?
1:21:34 Do you think creative people can be predisposed to being depressed because they're good at imagining an unrealistic world?
1:22:22 Why is Europe less religious than the US? My Danish friends say they have it so good, they dont need god…
1:24:19 You should have Keith Lockitch on. Your audience could use someone to explain physics to them Barney style. You'd get lots of super chats.

1:24:32 Outro
