Live Questions:
41:29 Have you ever changed the mind of someone you're debating mid-debate? I'm guessing it's rare as changing someone's mind is a gradual and time demanding experience that requires effort and honesty by the one being convinced.
43:22 🎂 A birthday shout-out to the love of my life ... Happy Birthday. Amy Nasir! 🎁
43:43 Do statists seek to lock in wealth, rather than destroy it? If you look at Europe and South America, most wealth is intergenerational for hundreds of years.
45:39 Thank you for pointing out i-rates. People are eager for a rate drop, but they often forget that is done when the economy is struggling. careful what u wish for!
47:33 On college campuses the left is preaching that "words are violence", but actual violence like antifa riots and October 7 is "social justice".
49:07 A part of me thinks everyone whose read Ayn Rand knows she's right. They don't have the courage to admit it.
49:51 In Japanese anime, film and video games there's no woknes and Japan is devoied of woknes. In such a timeline Japanese entertainment companies might have brought out Hollywood so woke Hollywood would not exist.
51:38 I saw your debate with Matt Bruenig, and I don't think he gets invited to alot of parties. However.. Norway came up.. FYI 10% of Norway 400 richest people has moved, mainly to Switzerland cause of dividends and wealth tax.
52:32 Is there an Objectivist position on circumcision?
54:25 Better question: Have you ever had someone you debated approach you later on afterward, and tell you that you changed their mind?
54:41 Would you go back to identifying as Jewish if it meant you get to take the space laser for a spin? p s. Gaza must be deestroyed
55:28 Does true focus lie between rage and serenity?
56:00 If Iran would really directly attack Israel, at the same time Hezbollah attack and maybe Westbank uprising happening, US staying out of the mess, could Israel alone win on 4 fronts? I'm worried.
57:14 Can you try and get an interview with Mosab Yousef?
57:27 What if the fales Free Marketer Raegen never strong armed Japan into singing the Plaza Accord, buble never burst and the Japanese economy overtook the US before the year 2000.
59:13 Do you think every motivated action can be boiled down to an action that's motivated by love (life) or fear (death). In the movie Donnie Darko, they try and tear this idea apart by claiming there's a whole spectrum of emotion
1:00:37 The writer basically ignores any fundamentals of the actual idea itself and promotes pragmatism through Donnie, and then they even ad hominem the guy who came up with the philosophy by making him a child predator at the end.
1:01:01 Is AI responsible for these good economic numbers?
1:01:34 Landlords should claim the the Squatters rights laws are a De Facto eminent domain taking. They should sue and force the state to buy the property's .
1:02:33 What'll you do if you find squatter in your condo?
1:02:32 You missed my early super chat on the Japanese economy. I was talking about a world where the Japanese bubble never burst and there economy kept booming. And surpassed the US economy by the year 2000.
1:04:10 Hey Yaron, What's the difference between objectivism and Hedonism? I feel non-objectivists often describe objectivism as hedonism. Thanks!
1:05:36 I agree that masculinity and femininity stem from man's efficacy in engaging with reality qua rational animal. Do you think modern conceptions of each (Prager, manosphere, feminism) result from Rousseauian and Marxist ideas?
