00:00 Intro
02:20 Do we need to take the next step in evolution to move away from collectivism?
10:43 Are you surprised by Supreme Court ruling to keep Title 42?
14:19 How to stop fear of imigrants?
20:30 Where is the line between promoting and evangelizing Ayn Rand's ideas?
24:20 Pragmatism vs mysticism in education and foreign policy 
31:22 Earned vs emotionally manipulative art
37:55 Chip Wars follow-up 
49:40 Rational basis for legal construct of marriage?
54:14 The saying that "human beings are social creatures" doesn't necessarily imply collectivism. It's a statement recognizing the fact; if we isolate, we are miserable. Happiness comes from deep selfish connections and experiences with other individuals.
56:57 American culture values extroversion and self promotion. More sensitive, shy young people, mainly boys, who don't fit in can become nihilistic. Whereas European/Asian cultures don't have this implicit pressure to be grandiose
59:15 How do you deal with being around people as much as you are, being introvert?
1:02:50 2023 inflation forecast
1:12:59 gory movies
1:16:22 Am I naïve to believe that eventually the reality will prove...
1:28:28 Comments about movies
1:32:42 Has Republican party learned something from midterms?
1:37:33 Evil of Mother Theresa
1:43:05 Did your view of crypto change recently?
1:49:15 Opinions on Jon Stewart
1:53:12 I read an article saying in the next 20 years the world will see its first trillionaire. Is this probable? And is it a good sign of economic health or cronyism?
1:54:11 Were you one of the cool/popular kids growing up or were you more of a loner?
1:55:24 Before I discovered Rand and Objectivism I felt hot with anger, anxiety and frustration, yet unable to articulate why. Ayn Rand may have been the greatest introspector of all time.
1:55:46 Is an annual State of the Union address a worthwhile government task? How could they be better in a government focused on Individual Rights?
1:57:15 Great range of topics today. Looking forward to your yearly wrap up! No question, just happy I tuned in.
1:58:30 If we have a horrific recession will Fed do a stimulus similar to pandemic (or bigger) or will they hold back out of fear of causing more inflation & distortions? Many in popular publications blame Fed for current problems
1:59:54 Outro
