Live Questions:
23:34 Are you familiar with the life of Arnold Schwarzenegger? He's become the subject of bad, grunting impressions, but his life story is actually amazing. He embodies many of the values of self-esteem and virtue that you espouse.
24:29 If the IRS can't be abolished without a philosophical revolution, can it at least be shackled in some way? Is the next stage a flat tax? Hong Kong and Singapore are the only western countries with flat taxes.
27:46 Check out the white house's "blueprint for a renters bill of rights". Looks like they are targeting revenue management systems, charging for ancillary services (eg valet trash), & leave the door open for rent growth limits on multifamily properties
30:03 True or False: Mint chocolate chip is the best flavor of ice cream.
30:31 Is there some irony in that the left is complaining about how destructive the republicans 30% sales tax would be but not the income tax?
32:45 No clicks for Trump. Thanks for heads up!
34:57 Are you aware of any Objectivists who are neural biologists? In OPAR, Peikoff mentioned Rand was looking into mathematics and neural science before she passed away, and was curious if anyone picked up those fronts.
35:58 How would you compare Obama’s first two years in office vs Biden’s? Who was better/worse in your view?
38:29 Will Russia ever flex their military power again?
40:55 will attacking crimea result in nuclear war?
41:22 What do you think of Adam Schiff new Senate run announcement in California?
42:13 Saw an awesome talk at university today: nuclear medicine developed at UBC (TRIUMF) that seems more effective/less harmful than chemo at cellular level. Illegal for private use here in Canada. I am both thrilled and annoyed.
43:19 After reading The Future is Faster than You Think, I believe it is highly likely that YOU will live to see reverse aging. If you get the body of a 20-30 year old, will you then agree to start a Revolution?
45:06 If given the chance, do you think Ukraine should march on moscow? Do you think they will be able to?
46:09 How do you view a progrssive transition of Objectivist ideas into the cultute... The progression not one big hit
48:04 Can art produced by AI ever be considered real art?
