Live Questions:
28:09 Hi Yaron, is there a book that you would recommend that teaches about the history of philosophy like Leonard Peikoff's "History of Philosphy" course?
30:52 Do you have an opinion on Lex's book list and the amount of back lash he got? Seems to me it's rooted in envy from academia
36:49 Constitution doesn't require the Speaker to be a representative... Yaron for Speaker.
37:30 Mocking criticism is annoying, clarificiation is cool!
38:01 I changed my name, so you don't have to pronounce "kmetija" ;)
38:25 Just chipping in! One of Lex's big detractors was Nassim Taleb.... a mixed bag to say the least. Taleb has some interesting points but has the air of a huckster.
40:36 Have you seen any movie reviews by the Critical Drinker on YouTube? He makes good points in a VERY rough around the edges style.
41:06 Went to Aida at the Met last night. Incredible performance. Thanks for suggesting it.
41:28 I'm interesting in your public speaking course this summer. Where can I find out more info about it?
42:02 please look into the SEC vs ripple case going on, ftx is getting alot of the crypto news but this is a huge case, shows huge sec overstep in my opinion plus many fishy angles. effects xrp and the whole crypto market
42:59 The culture can't stand individual preference.
43:32 Hi Yaron, I am confused about objectivism and objectivity, objectivity meaning like studying an object? and objectivism holding principles in while putting mind effort towards achieving a value? Thnks
46:17 The 'Cosmicskeptic' (500k) might be an interesting interview - Oxbridge graduate - secular
46:41 you should try to get on timcast. I think some of those guys and their fans are convertible to objectivism if it were explained right
