Live Questions:
41:48 On January 31, I sent you a question by email and backed it up in the chat with €119. Did it end up in your spam? And what are your favorite works from Tchaikovsky?
43:14 Not presenting a misbegotten notion to play devil’s advocate today to inspire discussion -- 🧩🙂. I appreciate your consistently reasoned presentations, especially on individual rights. Hope your selfishly individualistic day is going swimmingly! 💫
44:10 In the Fountainhead there are scathing reviews of Roark's work by second-handed 'experts'. Criticism of 'For the New Intellectual' on release were eerily similar! Do you see any parallels in Milei's reception by the media and Western culture today?
47:03 Look how popular Milei is becoming all around the world. We are foolish to think free market radicals can't win. People are seeking honesty and passion.
48:37 Why do Muslim countries have a harder time embracing the enlightenment than Christian countries? Is Islam a uniquely suicidal death cult?
51:39 How can we be so materially rich while simultaneously being so spiritually poor?
53:28 There’s a strong pro life movement amongst AnCaps I think Milei is getting this crap from. I still have enormous respect for him. And I think he is right that the left promotes abortion for anti-human nihilistic reasons.
56:24 Thanks for recommending The Myth of Left and Right. I listened to it on Friday and Ive using the ideas in it a lot since then, including in chat right now. Going to started Closing of the Western Mind after this show is over
58:14 Is the saying "never speak ill of the dead" based in altruism?
58:57 How come you never get tired of talking about politics, Yaron?
1:00:41 Was Hayak a better economist than Milton Friedman and Murray Rothbard?
1:02:39 Do you like Stephen Hicks and Craig Biddle?
1:03:22 It is so Ironic that the Right that claims that they would fight a tyrannical government with the 2nd Amendement, are the ones screaming that Ukraine shoulld make peace with a Russia. Such hypocrites!
1:04:43 Hi! I'm a 28 year-old Israeli entrepreneur looking for the best place to live! I thought about Austin. Any other recommendations? I'll find a way for a visa, probably an investor (E2) for 100k$
1:07:01 Have you heard of Harry Browne's "Permanent Portfolio"? If so, what are your thoughts on it, both it's conceptual framework and its relative effectiveness? I assume your answer isn't financial advice.
1:09:05 So glad you are On !!
1:09:14 I get 9 hours of headphone time at my job that is pretty repetitive. Myth of Left and Right is only 4.5 hours as an audio book. Might relisten after The Closing.

1:09:43 Outro
