Live Questions:
37:05 Any thoughts on Hollywood and the ongoing strikes? I think the system of large studios and large unions is not sustainable. I think those involved need to think outside the box and come up with something new.
41:44 I recently watched the documentary startup nation. It claimed that the policy of Shimon Peres, of backing VC losses and thereby attracting venture capital, led to the current flourishing tech sector in Israël. Thoughts?
43:48 I just read a long expose about Peter Schiff's bank at DW. What is going on with it? Why is the government going after it? Can you shed some light on the regulatory side and Schiff's side on this?
45:24 In a Twilight Zone episode, they forced everyone to have an operation to look alike. Afterward, a girl says, "the best part is, now I look just like everybody else." Scary.
46:12 There is nothing wrong with a world full of both Eddie Willers and John Gals. Supressing higher achievement makes us all incalculably less rich.
46:46 Do people 'psychologize' because 'passions' are still present in our lives. Isn't altruism and envy a passion we have rationalized?
47:49 The AfD here in germany has a weird mix of nationalist and free-markeet policies. I think there is still a good chance that they'll implement the more sensible ideas, especially in a coalition they would have to join.
49:11 A non Objectivist world is a world I don't want to live in.
49:18 Socialism seems to be the position that slavery is wrong when done by individuals, but right when done by the state.
49:46 Why are flights from the USA to UK so high compared to previous years? I realize that we have inflation. However, prices are almost triple from five years ago this same time. I do not understand it.
51:02 For people who've never studied Objectivism, how rational can they really be?
51:38 What's wrong with being "entitled"? Isn't that an aspect of selfishness?
52:20 Suppose you became president while congress was still controlled by traditional statist parties. Could you veto your way into shrinking the state?
52:53 I was reading that Italy is a social market economy, or that it practices Rhine Capitalism or Rhenish Model. Can you explain this? How does it work?
