06:00 You misread my questions from the news round up show earlier. The question was what will comedians make fun of once the entire world is rational, benevolent and fully Objectivist?

58:45 Announcements Reminder
1:00:38 Possible show topic: Workplace and/or consumer safety, West vs East.
1:00:46 Topic: American Exceptionalism:: True or False? Q: How will the Left’s attack on appliances play out? Eg dishwashers and showers with weak water flow. Do Americans accept this out of guilt or are they unaware of the regress?

Live Questions:
1:02:31 I was listening to Barack Obama's recent interview on CBS morning. Why can't conservative Presidents be thoughtful and intellectual like him? Why do they select anti-intellectual buffoons like Bush and Trump? Do you think that will change over the next 30 years?
1:07:01 Do you think one of the side affects of a nihilistic culture is to cause people to develop inferiority complex's? Once enough of a population experience a certain level of psychological insecurity, they can unleash atrocities like the holocaust?
1:09:39 Michael Sandel and Sam Harris on meritocracy.
1:10:12 All the right talks about is transgenderism, pornography and abortion. Dennis Prager recently said:"Pornography perverts the natural end of sexuality, and is a slow poison to marriage'. Is there a smidgen of truth to this?
1:13:16 Jordon Peterson said "IQ is the single best predictor of income". Which makes sense to me. Horse power and the ability to deal with abstractions is required for high income careers. Why do you reject this?
1:16:44 Have you read Will Durant's "The Story of Philosophy" and if you have, do you think it's any good?
1:17:52 Leftists vote at the ballot, us engineers vote with our feet. Go to Florida and ask the Venezuelans their profession. The Republicans are socialists in slow motion.
1:18:54 First show to catch live in a while, moved from one province to another. About these forest fires in western Canada, do you know how they can be prevented in the future? Good to see you back at home
1:21:46 Did you see the Stosell interview of Vivek Ramaswamy? Perhaps a topic option for Adam.
1:22:52 Is life a brief flash between two eternal darknesses?
1:24:04 Was Hobbe's an enlightenment figure? Was he pro reason?
1:25:00 I often hear the phrase "life is too short to hold onto grudges". In reality, isn't life too short not to hold onto grudges?
1:26:09 Never put keys to your happiness in someone else's pocket.
1:26:27 I can understand child support, but alimony seems ridiculous. It's a punishment for the marriage not working out. I can't imagine being forced to pay for someone not in my life anymore.

1:28:18 Outro
