Live Questions:
33:04 Do people actually value honesty? They appear to prefer conflict avoidance. The consistent unwavering courage and honesty required by Objectivism may be intimidating to people, more then their inability to reason, and attachments to altruism.
34:50 Why would the intellectuals betray the people like this? What's in it for them? They could just be honest and happy.
36:01 In the world we live in now, how do we build back better a bridge in Baltimore. Would we invite Musk, Bezos, etc. to own ports/ships /vertically integrate &call off antitrust dogs? Would 'John Galt' approve of such an invite.
37:55 Ayn Rand said "contradictions don't exist in reality". Is this also true for moral dilemmas? Do they really exist without operating under contradictions?
39:11 What makes Sam Harris and Steven Pinker better than Jordan Peterson?
41:00 Will Israel even go into Rafah at this point, or will Bibi cave to outside pressure? Does Bibi care more about global appearances or the will of his own people to enter Rafah so he can maintain power after this is all over?
42:11 Will Milei be the first sitting president you have met?
42:50 April Fools episode idea: have someone impersonate you for a show pretending to be a devout Kantian. Got the idea from Peikoff’s examples of “possible/probable/certain” and skepticism
43:46 "God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise" Corinthians 1:27. Rejoice all ye faithful, today is your day!
44:01 Hi Yaron- why did art decline during the Late Roman Empire? How did it happen, and was Augustine/Christianity a major factor in transition?
45:37 In welfare debates, how can we communicate that things like housing and rent would be a fraction of the cost in a free market which would make welfare a lot less needed?
47:13 The ultra religious life is completely pathetic. As a former Orthodox Jew I completely agree. I’m glad you said that there other day
47:50 The Russian Invasion of Ukraine reminds me of Operation Barbarossa where the Germans captured huge amounts of territory but failed in their objective.
48:41 Have you been to Northern England, such as Leeds? Have you been to Scotland? I wonder what you think of the two regarding people and culture.
50:06 Along those lines, have you been to wealthy towns surrounding London? It appears that all cities are going down. However, suburbs/rural areas are not.
52:17 Why does the UK allow for public rights of ways across some private estates? It is a thing I do not fully grasp. Are there other ways UK restricts private property that you are aware of?
53:30 Why do young adults have such a negative view of Israel and realistically what can one do to change their view?
54:43 This is not a question.

54:44 Outro
