Live Questions:
46:20 You're an inspiration and I try to spread the philosophy of Objectivism to my friends and coworkers. I speak passionately about Ayn Rand's many insights, but it falls on deaf ears and renders me utterly hopeless. What should I do?
47:58 A lot of conservatives I speak with don't think we can have a capitalistic society without a christian moral foundation preventing people from being hedonistic with their wealth. The GOP can't seem to shake off Plato and Comte.
49:51 I see a lot of material growing online casting doubt on everything relating to oct 7 and the gaza situation itself. I maintain my convictions that Israel is justified in its actions but it's getting lonely on this side.
53:08 Do you believe there was a slight increase in the moral certainty of the West's rightenous in the 80's and 90's? That's why communism collapsed world wide in those decades? I don't think it was a coincidence. Do we not give Reagan enough credit for buying us time?
57:21 Good Ben Bayer talk on ARI’s channel on Christianity & pride, contrasting Aristotle’s and Augustine’s positions. Striking how anti-body Augustine is. Is the denigration of the body implied by or explicit to Christianity?
1:00:14 Hey Yaron, I hear people talking about the benefits of gold, but I'm not hearing about silver. Don't they have the same benefits? If not, why not?
1:01:30 I noticed that people supporting Palestinians never bring up that Palestinians teamed with Arab nations to invade Israel in 1967 and 1973. Israel won both wars. That's how they got Gaza & West Bank
1:02:48 Thank you, Yaron.
1:02:51 Is supporting Milei an implicit rejection of Schwartz's claim, If the Libertarian movement were ever to come to power, widespread death would follow?
1:05:05 To have the biggest military, the best equipment and technology Is a good thing. But the ultimate strength of a military depends on moral clarity.
1:05:23 I figured out how we can reconcile the religious/secular divide in Israel. Conduct wars with Old Testament savagery, secular everything else.
1:05:54 Why South Africa?
1:07:27 I keep seeing videos of Norman Finkelstein and can't stand the guy. Would you ever debate him about Israel? I think that would be a good opportunity to put him in his place. There are others as well, of course!
1:08:14 As General Vidal, during the Spanish Civli War, coined the phrase”fifth column” for those who undermine the government for within; that’s what is transpiring within Israel to a great degree.
1:08:52 Do you think the DINK(Dual Income No Kids) phenomenon is a bad sign for the culture?
1:10:54 A man's philosophy is not his coat, but his bones.
1:11:10 see you in Amsterdam!
1:12:37 How do you determine when someone is dishonest and corrupt to the point where they are not worth spending energy on?
1:13:14 Is business a bit too much romanticized by objectivists? Most real life businessmen are doing marketing, not innovation? That is the ones who are not looking for goverment handouts
1:16:00 Please make some video shorts about Trump. I can't seem to find any good sharable rants against him.
1:17:00 See you in Austin!

1:17:02 Outro
