Live Questions:
1:02:05 In regards to the power lusting mindset, you're arguing there are people out there who spend energy and stress running for political office just bc they have low self-esteem, and they desperately need to compensate by having power over others?
1:08:12 The Euro also has the problem that some european contries consistently ignore their debt ceiling - without much consequences. If there was a way to reform the Euro, if there was political will to do so?
1:11:42 Not a lot of benevolence and idealism out there. Sad.
1:11:50 Do you find the culture has more respect for The Fountainhead then Atlas Shrugged?
1:12:39 Valuable show, it cleared the confusion about Brics, Crypto, etc
1:12:51 Is Immanuel Kant responsible for nasty youtube comments? What is the psychology of people who leave mean and vicious anonymous comments on the internet?
1:18:07 Have you read "A positive account of property rights" by david friedman?
1:19:13 Thank You. This is a outstanding explanation on the dollar .
1:20:10 hey yaron money has been tight but want to say thank you for the work you put into the show, has been a true value so here is to the positive things in the world and the good the shows gives
1:21:37 I am someone who enjoys arguing, but I find that trying to argue with already indoctrinated fascists and communists nigh impossible. They are completely anti-moral people. Do you see any point?
1:23:06 I saw the documentary “the prophecy of Ayn Rand” and it seemed like there was a lot of momentum with Ayn Rand and atlas shrugged, what happened ?
1:32:41 Is there such as a thing as "over thinking" something?
1:35:10 No question unless you want to say something about Nikki Halley. Just enjoying that i've finally managed to catch you live.
1:38:21 Should amendments to state constitutions be subject to a simple 50% majority vote? I was torn on issue 1 in Ohio. I support abortion rights but don’t think people should be able to vote my rights away with a simple majority
1:40:01 ​In Treasure of Sierra Madre what would the prospectors have done with their gold dust and the story had ended without any problems?
1:41:07 (Meant to ask) I've read most of Rand’s fiction, except We the living, and the posthumous release. What's another fiction recommendation you'd give?
1:44:06 Do you think that ARI is lacking in any particular area on the content content creation side of things? What do you think of Atlas Societies presence (or lack thereof?)
1:46:44 Last question, but do you think Elon Musk is a money appropriator or creator? I have trouble respecting his achievements with EVs considering the market coercion going on in the automotive industry.
1:48:54 Putting the current war aside, why isn’t the west capable of working together with china and Russia? It just seems like everyone wants control
1:51:36 Yaron, the only thing I don’t like about objectivism is idolizing people like Elon musk, I call him puppet master, since he can easily manipulate republicans base, he really doesn’t adopt objectivist value
1:53:17 Q: “Is there any hope left?” Rand (paraphrasing): “There’s hope as long as there’s one rational man still living on earth.” I like the answer instinctively but analytically how do you interpret what she meant?
1:55:50 Jordan Peterson on of his interview, answered question regarding mythical story in the Bible, if it should be subject to rational and reason, his answer that these stories are above human understanding and it taken as is ?
