Live Questions:
49:41 Do you think a lot of Objectivists are afraid to share content because Objectivism is so small and fringe and no one knows what it is, and they're afraid people will think they're weirdos for constantly sharing this fringe material?
51:47 I spoke with professor Norman Finkelstein today about debating you on Israel, he said he would happily do it for free. Perhaps someone from ARI could moderate it? I sent you an email about it.
52:30 Why are so many libertarians as anti Semitic and nihilistic as the left? One would think if you're an advocate of free markets you would have a more benevolent sense of life.
57:24 The Romans were at war with the Jews so perhaps it is not surprising that wrote hatred of Jews into their new religion, Christianity.
58:59 I love watching your show. It always gives me a new perspective on things. Keep up the great work!
59:23 What is the role of social media, and of the global information industry, in the spread of antisemitism to China, where the actual presence of Jews (except in Hong Kong) is so rare that it is nearly infinitesimal?
1:03:44 Is a person’s ethics more important than their Jewishness when it comes to being targeted with antisemitism? I’m thinking of why Noam Chomsky or Ruth Bader Ginsburg are allowed to be regarded as heroes.
1:06:05 Thanks Yaron for another great show.
1:06:11 What do you think of the job the ADL has been doing in regards to the current war with Hamas?
1:10:59 I have a relative I struggle to talk politics with. They support Russia yet are capable of being pro Israel. I haven't been about to highlight the contradiction because they refuse to think logically. Any ideas?
1:13:43 Forgive the flippant question, but I'm curious: do you prefer to sleep in a cold or hot room?
1:14:01 I'll have a question next time.💙🇺🇸💙🇹🇼💙🇮🇱💙🇺🇦💙
1:14:07 Did you see even Bernie Sanders says he doesn't think there should be a ceasefire until Hamas is eliminated? Maybe their is still hope for humanity?
1:15:11 Why did the nazi's form coalitions with Arab nations? Isn't it disingenuous to call Hamas "nazi"s"? Not every organization that is genocidal are nazi ideologies?
1:16:40 What do think of the objection from leftists - “We’re not anti Semitic, we’re anti Zionist?”. Seems like if you support Hamas you are by definition anti Semitic.
1:17:52 Objectivism argues Kant is responsible for communism and nazism, but what about anarcho capitalism? Is that type of rationalistic nihilism a consequence of Kant as well?
1:18:45 If you're the right kind of minority, you have permission to do whatever it takes to jab up in order to gain equality. That is the justification for the worst kind of barbarism.
1:19:26 From my experience it seems the right is pro-Israel but anti semitic, while the left is anti-Israel, but stands up against explicit anti-semitism.
1:20:42 To what extent do the ideas or history of the Ottoman Empire animate the modern Islamist movement?
1:21:58 The right likes the nationalism of Israel, but doesn't like what they perceive as Jewish degeneracy of promoting open immigration or Hollywood/pornography industry.
1:23:04 If anti-semitism is a recent import to Islam, then why do people always quote the Quran versus about violence against Jews?
1:24:29 What makes me skeptical about Objectivism's success is, I don't see altruism being curtailed whatsoever.
1:25:10 Could you discuss the period of history when Muslims went to study Western philosophers, bringing back ideas from Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche and how it connects to today's topic?
1:27:21 The increasing antipathy toward (and expulsion from intersectionality of) Asians as they become more and more wealthy and successful is evidence for what Yaron is saying about the Left re: Jews.
