00:00 Intro
02:48 Are there people like Andrei?
09:42 Vivek Ramaswamy
32:10 Overthinking
36:03 Why are conservatives not popular among the young?
44:20 Natural disasters

47:50 Can someone be at the same time an objectivist and also reject IP as a legitimate form of property?
49:38 What if Vivek’s just playing to Trump's base and has no plans to follow his policies? He does need Trump's base to get elected whether we like that or not. So throwing Trump under the bus might not be the correct play here?
51:48 i recently talked to a indian coworker about the Ukraine War and they told me that "why doesn't Ukraine stop fighting, they can't win and it's costing lives." I said force only reaponsends to force. what do you say?
57:11 Hey Yaron, big fan. What is the role of the president of the United States in a capitalist government that acts as a necessary good, not as a necessary evil as you put it.
1:00:11 Doesn’t Ukraine mean “outlier” in reference to its relation to Russia during USSR? Do you think it would be a good move to change the name of Ukraine as a way of putting USSR in the past even further?

1:02:05 Russia before the communist revolution
1:05:55 Psychology of athletes
1:11:28 The poor
1:16:15 Healthcare waiting lists
1:23:58 Elections
1:30:05 Trump

1:36:55 What if the bully is the North Korean government and the risk of standing up to the North Korea government is death? Should the North Korean citizen stand up to the North Korean government?
1:40:20 Instead of saying, "I don't care about the poor," would saying "I don't feel guilty about the poor" sound better? Semantics matter.
1:41:35 Logistical question, since it's a controbutors' episode: for monthly contributions via PayPal vs. Patreon ... which has lower fees from your end?
1:41:47 You say humans under 18 don't have full rights because they have a hard time projecting into the future, but many adults are irrational and don't project into the future. What's the difference?
1:42:47 The mind once enlightened cannot then become dark.
1:43:01 You grew up with the Bible. If Abraham had killed his son, Isaac, would Jews + Israel exist, or would a nation have come from his other son Ishmael?
1:44:07 Is Millenial Rand Fan’s channel Undercutting the seriousness of Objectivism?
1:44:25 What depresses you the most about the slow growth of the movement? Or are their real signs to be optimistic?
1:44:59 What qualities in your wife switched the relationship from like to love? Was it a sudden or gradual realization?
1:45:26 Will the secret service have to protect Trump while he’s in prison?
1:45:34 I want my friend back. Seriously and you know who you are. 😥
1:45:43 I don't know how anyone can't pull for Zelensky's fight for Ukraine. Heroism depends on self esteem.
1:45:58 Hi Yaron, I’m reading about the Prime Mover theory from Aristotle/Aquinas that “proves” the existence of God. What’s wrong with this approach? Did they get the law of causality wrong? Thank you!
