46:06 Ben Shapiro is consistently making posts attacking individualism on his facebook. You'll have to have another sit down with him. Have you had any communication with him since the interview you did? I think he's intimidated by you.
47:52 Happy Saturday!
47:54 I used to be a victim of this irrational myth that the universe is malevolent, which means success is impossible without hurting others. It's such a primitive animalistic mindset. It shows humanity is not fully human yet.
48:21 You said you’re doing Zone 2 exercise to improve the strength of your heart. A key point in Body by Science is that the primary effect of ALL types of exercise is changes that happen in muscle, not the cardiovascular system.
55:52 Most of the new young objectivist intellectuals lack charisma. They're very bland and milk toast. It's like ARI is suppressing enthusiasm in its new intellectuals because they think it comes across as dogmatic.
57:12 Just have to say, I love San Francisco. My favorite US city. Coming from someone born and raised in the South. I lived in NY, can't stand it. But I love Cali and San Fran. It's not hard at all to avoid the unsavory stuff!

1:24:23 PLEASE do a review of Death Note, the anime. it has a great theme on showing how evil selflessness and judging others is, and I think is also a very anti-nihilist perspective on humanity. I already donated 10 before
1:26:55 You've mentioned in the past that European conservative politicians are less religious than their American counterparts. Did your recent trip to Europe change your perceptions about this at all?
1:29:14 Do cultures evolve dynamically from the bottom up? Or by a minority of intellectual elites from the top down?
1:29:43 If people think the world is a zero sum game, the word "big"becomes frightening. Big pharma, big tech, big oil...etc. Are objectivists the only ones out there not afraid of "bigness"?
1:30:15 "Israel's greatest asset is that we were fighting Arabs"-Moshe Dayan.
1:30:26 Jordan Peterson is complicated in a non-valuable way.
1:30:37 Any thoughts on Mike Mentzer?
1:31:32 Just got done with a peloton ride. I with Peter Attia had his exercise program on there! Still a great ride
1:31:44 Are normal democrats anti-immigration consciously or subconsciously because of unions? I don’t think they think that far ahead but what about you?
1:32:18 Favourite 90s Supermodel?
1:32:32 On female beauty? Beyond what Rand said?
1:34:00 Yaron, do you like spending time in nature? Beaches, hikes, national parks, camping, etc.? You seem to value other types of recreation more highly.
