Demographics & Destiny; The Cause of Homelessness; Chip Act Giveaways | Yaron Brook Show
Channel: Yaron Brook
Date: 2023-03-05

Both China and Russia's imbalanced demographics relate to government policy, so do the demographics of homelessness in American cities.  Around the world, we have examples for how regulation impacts different industries, economies, housing markets,   cultures and philosophies. With that in mind, what's the real cost of the Chip Act and other initiatives?

35:02 The Cause of Homelessness https://noahpinion.substack.com/p/everything-you-think-you-know-about
45:22 It seems like that mental health, drugs & poverty all play into the issue a little but if there was a cheap home solution these people would be cared for and housed via charity’s.
47:39 Do you know the statistics of the people we see living in the streets vs the actual homeless number? I imagine there are a lot more people homeless than we see.
49:35 Chip Act Giveaways

Live Questions:
55:21 I recently had a falling out with a friend which started out as an intellectual issue. I mistakenly took what was said personally and then said something I now regret. Any advice on how to sincerely apologise in such a situation? Thank you.
56:38 I know many leftists who have read and really like Ayn Rand's novels, but still vote for socialist policies. Basic exposure to Ayn Rand really is not enough to make a dent. People need to be spoon-fed by a sizable number of intellectuals.
58:21 I am pretty young and still in the state of building up my normative framework. I just watched your video on ''Bronze Age Pervert's Fascist Philosophy''. And, I must admit, this has been a great reality check of what logical conclusions not to follow.
1:00:24 You don't have to be an altruist to want to see an end to homelessness and poverty. I think a few generations of Objectivist governance and we would have to explain to our grandchildren what poverty and homelessness even were
1:01:55 I take it there are few if any homeless people in Europe as you have seen throughout your travels? Even Eastern Europe? Are all the students asking you how American has this phenomenon of massive homelessness?
1:05:18 Do you think that Lex Fridman doesn’t invite Alex Epstein on his show because he is principled to humility and humbleness? He invites pro-fossil fuel guests like Bjorn Lombart and Andrew Revkin, but they are more about data than human flourishing.
1:06:31 What is the population climb like in India, considerring that they have many romantic musicals in their movies, so that sex doesn't become animalistoc and therefore shrink.
1:08:09 Did you watch Bill Maher's recent monologue making fun of leftist attempts to abolish selfishness by imposing socialism? Worth a watch. Would be great if you could get on his show. He still has some ties to reality.
1:08:38 Has North Korea been the most effective regime at keeping out western influence in history? Even the USSR couldn't keep out western television and radio like North Korea has. How do they even have a replacement birthrate?
1:10:02 So they say that homelessness is a mental health issue and mass shootings are not.
1:10:23 Thank you for the talk in Uppsala, it was very inspiring.
1:10:49 The amount of respect I have for Yaron is incalculable. Never stop! Don't let the speed of progress discourage you. And make sure to rent large safe rental cars during all your travels. If we lose you, the world is doomed.
1:11:34 You say there are plenty of jobs in the US. However, I see many engineering graduates apply from dozens to a hundred jobs and receiving only a few interviews. A minor fraction of those yield offers. Why is this?
1:13:39 If an individual boycotts and refuses to vote in an election, is he automatically sanctioning/supporting whoever wins the election? If yes, are their certain elections in which context matters or is this always the case?
