Live Questions:
56:30 It seems to me many mothers have struggles with control even when their son is an adult. It's appearing in both fountainhead and atlas shrugged for Hank. What is this phenomena and how does one deal with it as a son?
57:40 I'm new to objectivism somewhat. Iread Atlas Shrugged and Fountainhead. Watch a lot of your videos and a lot from the Institute. Could you give me an example of how to simply define objectivism to a Christian family member?
1:00:30 Is Yaron sectarian?
1:04:48 Re: the view that the US should not present a blank check and should have some sense of endgame in Ukraine before more support - does it have any logical appeal to you in the sense of no foreign entanglements?
1:05:51 I find it unfortunate that many supposed “capitalists” oppose taxes/regulations because “it hurts the poor the most.” That begs the question: if it only hurt the rich would it be ok? Sadly, I believe most would say “yes.”
1:06:17 Andy Serkis [Gollum] drank a special juice concoction to keep his voice lubricated while filming Lord of the Rings. Maybe something like that could help you with your multiple speaking engagements?
1:06:45 Sorry I could not meet up Prague - (Handling my parent's probate in 3 countries)
1:07:35 I just started the video, so I'm still at the beginning. I hope you have a great weekend, Yaron! You're the best!
1:08:09 I spent 2 weeks in Tbilisi to get around the covid restrictions so I could make it to the OCON in Austin. Was definitely worth it!
1:08:22 Orban’s party officially has cronyism as its chief policy (they call it “supporting domestic businesses”…)
1:09:15 Why do you say guys like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs will succeed no matter what system we live under? Once your IQ exceeds 160 nothing can stop you?
1:10:23 Headed to Lake Tahoe, CA to ski but a blizzard re-routed me and delayed it. I hope your travels continue to go well and stay safe. Any skiers in the chat?
1:10:53 How do you deal with handling weirdos at conferences or Q and A’s? We live in such irrational times, you must encounter obnoxious and difficult people quite often?
1:11:58 Has conservative talk radio been any semblance of a positive force for capitalism and freedom/individual responsibility in the culture? Or have they been largely useless/pushing us into fascism.
1:13:10 It’s infuriating how many people view slavery, sacrifice, and being ruled over to “working/coming together”.
1:13:33 What is the tipping point when the government has become a net rights violator rather than a rights protector?
1:14:00 Since you have relatives in South Africa: w/ SA's energy crisis/corruption/unrest, is it safe to travel to Cape Town, the south coast, & Jo'burg in July? We'd be staying in nice places & with family.
1:15:10 So intellectuals know deep down that Ayn Rand will be their undoing?
1:15:28 Educating children this way and of course we get the politicians we deserve.
1:15:41 How did children turn evil? They come out so pure and good.
1:16:12 Is there anyone talking of kicking Russia out of Georgia now they are so weak. Also there is a Russian girl who moved to Tbilisi "Natasha's Adventures" 373K sub's. It might be worth talking to her.
1:17:40 Do you think the Road Daul estate is just trying to get ahead of what they perceive as Daul's inevitable cancellation and therefore declining book sales? It's a marketing move made out of fear, no?
1:18:48 Can you see that "woke has peaked" is coincidentally a useful narrative for Bill Kristol types that don't want to have to push back on it?
1:20:52 What does it say that your trolls accuse you presenting no evidence during a show when that evidence is being presented? Suggestion: CNN series on Alex Murdock is like Shakespearean tragedy on the slippery slope of immorality
