Live Questions:
1:16:16 I loved the critique of Knowles. Please do more. You kept asking ‘why’ to all of his moral assertions. While he has no answer, I think if he was pressed hard enough they would have to admit: ‘because the pie is fixed’. Dark ages mentality. Thoughts?
1:19:16 Could Bidens plan to price control medication lead to more socialization of R&D?
1:20:42 After listening to your books and others, I have come to hold that the best measure of a currencies health is it’s purchasing power. Is that an accurate way to think about it? The USD seems to be the healthiest at that rate.
1:22:03 A country’s self esteem depends on its recognizing individual rights. The West values individualism implicitly but increasingly rejects it explicitly. How does that contradiction affect your view of the West’s survival?
1:32:41 People doesn’t know that not all Muslim are the same, there is tons and tons of different interpretations of Islam, not defending the religion but treating 1 billion Muslim as one unit is not wise
1:36:30 I’m 17 years old, and I think many kids my age would be interested in Objectivism but wouldn’t want to read long novels like Atlas or Fountainhead. What videos or books should I recommend to introduce them to Objectivism?
1:39:40 What makes adopting Objectivism worth the effort? I think most people would understimate that effort.
1:42:15 Western civilization might not be that fragile. It seems magnificently resilient given that everyone is operating under bad ideas.
1:43:42 Hard to say if it sounds better than before without doing a direct comparison ... but is sounds very good.
1:44:57 What did you and your family do during the ?Six Day War in 1967?
1:47:23 Thanks for your answer about the benefits of Objectivism. I would add realistic clarity as a benefit. There's rampant confustion in the world today from religions, including woke. Objectivism can cut through the crap.
1:48:02 When you were growing up in Israel did everyone think America was heaven?
1:49:26 Please make a custom sound for Michael Knowles. Whatever the death of civilization sounds like - a whimper?
1:50:07 Do you think the bad guys have opted for a managed decline because they cant get their abrupt apocalyptic collapse of western civilization?
1:51:38 Michael Knowles gives me those slick Nick Fuentes vibes. That 1220 clip he did originally came from Nick Fuentes.
1:52:15 Max Stirner made that argument (he was a complete clown) 🤣
1:52:35 Sabine Hossenfelder just posted "Capitalism is Good." Starts out good but devolves towards conventionality.
1:53:24 Were nazi concentration camps and soviet gulags basically the same thing? Yet the former is viewed as far more unspeakably demonic.
1:54:47 Was Murray Rothbard a good economist?
1:55:11 If everyone here shares the Knowles show on X or Facebook, your subscriptions would go up. Let’s make it happen.
1:55:35 The lawyer hired me said that I am doing good work but that the firm is not in a position to keep me on now. I have about 4 months before I pass the Bar exam then I can work as a lawyer. Should I take GV'T benefits? thoughts?
1:58:05 Something I love about Poland is how they embraced shopping malls
1:58:19 Yaron, have you already changed the world in some small way?
1:59:36 ​Douglas Murray interviewed Bruce Gilley about defending Colonialism. Is western civ. in danger of demise because of the legacy colonies from Europe?
2:00:38 Are we making a dent in the culture?
