Live Questions:
52:52 Do you think that too many Americans identify as Left/Right first and as Americans second? It should be the other way around. How can Americans be more united around the ideal outside of politics if education is not reformed any time soon?
58:04 Japan & Italy after war
1:02:05 Paraphrasing Rand, selfishness was implied in the founding of this country. But it wasn’t explicit. (For it to be explicit knowledge, we needed Rand)
1:02:23 Do we need another declaration of independence?
1:04:55 19th century. Global slavery ends. Advent of modern science. Modern medicine. Most modern technologies. X-rays. Photography. Telegraphy. Audio recording. Anesthesia. Atomic theory. Evolution theory. Chemistry. On and on.
1:05:10 Happy 4th, Yaron. What are effects caused by the fact that knowledge of the rightness of selfishness is still implicit rather than explicit for most people?
1:06:46 How is US different then other western countries?
1:08:49 Thank you for the eloquent way you express admiration for business leaders. You inspire me.
1:09:01 Thank you for this wonderful talk today! I been having withdrawal missing the show! 😛
1:09:15 Hello from OCON! My first experience here has been splendid. OCON continues the great aspects of American Exceptionalism. This is my first Independence Day in the US as a Canadian visitor. I am celebrating this with you all.
1:09:40 Altruism not viewed as a threat
1:12:10 Ask the Cubans here in Miami. They value American liberty.
1:12:20 Great to be here at OCON! Could you talk about the significance of SCOTUS affirmative action decision? Looks like they mention that "individual ability takes supremacy over what race one belongs to."
1:14:55 Counter arguments to American exceptionalism
1:18:12 Thank you for promoting the ideas of Ayn Rand! I never get to watch live, so this has been a real treat. Your podcast first introduced me to Ayn Rand’s ideas and work, and they have changed my life. Happy Independence Day!
1:18:35 Are there events in 19th cent. America that produce a wealth of discussion like the Dreyfus Affair does in European history? I'm a double major in philosophy and history with a focus in the 19th cent.
1:20:32 Most effective way to change culture
1:22:15 American vs French Revolution
1:24:10 Declining economic freedom
1:28:13 Altruism of people on the Left
1:30:08 Puerto Rico
