Live Questions:
39:25 If you do a series on Capitalism - I propose "Government as a moral good".My idea: 365 proper, basic, moral things government should do for a coffee table picture book- w/ calendar. Offering $1 each -looking for matches.
41:03 Thanks for talking about Chip Wars! Its fascinating and helps me think about global trade. And it showcases Russia’s impotence which is always fun to hear about!”The Future is Faster Than You Think”is very complimentary to it
41:48 It looks like another Russian tycoon fell out of a window, in India this time. Rich Russians should stop going above the first floor of any building.
43:11 My favorite movie is Aliens. Part of the reason is that my mother watched it all the time and I loved it even as a small child!
44:25 I live in Washington state. I'm getting depressed. I knew it was bad, but wow. Our governor is the worst: self-righteous, pompous, ignorant...
44:52 Likes are free; let YT's Al Gore Rhythms see the❤!
45:27 Are chemical and biological weapons immoral? Is their research legitimate for defensive purposes?
47:38 The nuclear power plants in subs and aircraft carriers boil seawater to drive turbines and propulsion. Do they desalinate the water? They should!
48:54 The 144000 are back! (33)3😇
49:14 To my idea Do the show on Capitialism in each have a section "Government for a moral good" somewhere in each the show try and count my 365 things I'll help keep track. we'll talk at AMA session :)
50:00 By what standard is someone an “Historian”? I would consider you an expert in various fields, but you say you aren’t a historian. I ask people “by what standard is someone a philosopher” for similar reasons
51:38 With power plants, the boiling water and the cooling water are separate. The boiling water is recycled (and pure) but the cooling water can be continuously drawn from the ocean.
52:31 I meant a year long Series not a show
53:24 Woke mobs now claim the new Avatar film is racist. It's a good sci-fi film but I see nothing of Cultural Appropriation of Pacific or native tribes.
54:56 Did you ever watch the show Fraiser? it's a psychologically insightful and intelligent show.

55:16 Outro
