Live Questions:
33:53 Yaron,thank you for all your work, I appreciate it a lot.2nd time listening live, so finally a possibility for a superchat. As someone with minimum investment expertise, do you think ETF's are a good option?Also curious about your opinion of ETF's.
36:11 2 part question about your live on selfishness. Your view of selfishness is based on what is ideal for an individual, that whatever a person does that is beneficial to themself is selfish. The definition of selfish from google is: “lacking consideration for others concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure” Would you say this argument is one of semantics? To me you conflate selfishness with rational self interest, but to me selfishness implies irrationality, thoughts?
41:57 I appreciate your show, very well thought out points of view, even if I don't always agree.
42:23 Can you mention some anti-takeover strategies, for example, Pac-man or Crone jewel defence etc. Which you believe should be allowed in a free society? Or should all strategies be illegale due to fiduciary duty?
45:30 what happens if gov defaults and goes bankrupt?
46:28 could the treasury department print more currency without issuing more debt. Paying people in cash and circumventing congress.
47:09 Do you think there is a significant chance that DeSantis will not run for president?
48:00 Just finished listening to the selfishness episode on the podcast. Enjoyed it!
48:15 Children should stand up to bullies, but if the bully is actually using force, e.g.. stealing your lunch, or punching you, the child should be able get help from an adult, right? I was discussing this with some people.
49:20 Do you think that US credibility in Africa is undermined by the historical association of capitalism with colonial rule? It seems this confusion comes from the hypocrisy and inconsistent aspects of colonial regimes
51:44 What are you optimistic about on the political front, if anything? Are there any countries that you see as trending in the right direction ?
52:54 What would you say about the apparent existential injustice of a scoundrel like Trump being able to accomplish as much as he has?
54:05 What happened during the Korean War? In WWII, we fought to win. Truman dropped the bombs on Japan but then refused to do so in Korea. Is this simply explained by the USSR's possession of nuclear weapons?

56:23 Outro
