06:45 Brookgreen Sculpture Gardens
11:22 Supply chains resiliency and national security
19:30 Mindfulness
21:50 China
28:55 Surprise Parties
33:15 Friendship
37:40 Humor in Israel

47:06 What do you think of the Israeli Netflix series Fauda? I'm hooked, but I can't watch it at bedtime.
50:30 We generally associate nihilism as being a left wing phenomenon, but I've been encountering a ton of young fascist nihilist types in right wing circles. Are they just copying the left or were they always there?
52:58 Is narcissism just a childhood coping mechanism run amuck? Narcissism appears to be a powerful motivator for trying to achieve success and status. Would you say many successful CEO's are narcissistic to some degree?

55:07 Biden is Capitalist
1:02:15 Arguing for Laissez-faire Capitalism
1:06:50 Friendship vs Romance
1:10:15 OECD median income
1:17:15 Cold war
1:25:00 Inflation compounding

1:29:49 Have you seen people go through major transformations later in life (late 20s, early 30s), I.e. develop strong purpose, self-esteem, improved sense of life
1:31:14 “Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value they may have in inspiring us or exciting our sense of wonder.” – Carl Sagan
1:34:21 Overemphasis on reason and emotion repression?
1:34:38 Would you be willing to work for the DailyWire if they let you say whatever you want?
1:35:49 Are you no longer frustrated when people don't understand Objectivism? How did you become so Zen?
1:36:25 Why do you think Ayn Rand resonates with businessmen and the common man more than intellectuals? Are intellectuals more likely to suffer from an inferiority complex than the general population?
1:38:38 Edward de Bono made a case that the 'arbitrary' is a tool of thinking - a provocation for creating new perceptions that are logical after their creation - just a thought!
1:39:57 You've said closed Objectivism isn't necessarily synonymous with truth. If the two were shown to diverge, should we go with the truth or Objectivism?
1:40:40 Do you think DeSantis's strategy of ignoring Trump and being the adult in the room will work?
1:42:16 Using LP's DIM categories, would all this gender collectivism logically belong under D1/D2? Example: in the manosphere, one encounters many disintegrated ideas. From Freud to Skinner (or both), from Nietzche to Christianity. Strikes me as pluralism.
1:45:18 I wish I could afford you to review a dystopian future film called A Boy and His Dog, from Harlan Ellison. Are these stories hard for you to watch?
1:45:52 Animal intelligence
1:48:34 What's the relationship between lack of integration and the primacy of consciousness mindset?
1:49:32 Is Japan a better country to live in right now? Avg salary is 100k?
1:50:54 Perceptual information that get's absorbed without conscious recognition?
1:51:29 Why is it so unusual for people to see that ideas have consequences?
1:52:20 Compared to ancient cultures, would you say it’s much easier to apply DIM to the past, as compared to the present/ more recent? Japan, via anime, produces a lot of Cultural Products that vary in DIM identities.
