02:20 Talks update
04:40 Marxist influence on libertarians
09:50 Did you find out what happened at the University in Warsaw?
11:56 You inadvertently mentioned that mysticism, INDIVIDUALISM, and zero-sum thinking was responsible for war.
13:14 Chicago Mayor
19:46 Iran Update
28:51 Key United States Supreme Court Cases

Live Questions:
37:54 Another interesting case right now is "Axon Enterprise, Inc. v. Federal Trade Commission"
38:09 You mentioned that FOX News banned you in 2012. What were their reasons?
43:08 The case challenges the internal administrative law judges of Executive branch agencies being unreviewable by Federal courts until they finish their (often lengthy) process and have a final ruling.
44:35 Where is the line between one being labeled a pragmatist vs. an Objectivist simply trying to function day to day in a society filled with altruism/intersectionality/collectivism, etc. Is it more of an indivual's evaluation of each scenario we are faced with?
46:15 Hey YB. I think a great movie for you to review is Tucker, a movie about innovation and corruption in the automotive industry post WWII. Would you mind?
47:02 You mentioned all cities in USA are blue. What makes them all become bankrupt or vote for bad policies that ruin there lives? All cities are in debt. Majority of small areas have neither wealth or debt (stuck in time). Why?
52:47 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jWiiT_1GRQ is a clip regarding how Private Equity works. What are they missing? I thought PE just invests. Is how PE works in this context moral?
54:49 Our power is back on after gigantic ice storm! So you think it's irrational to have a desire, e.g. be a successful singer, even though you know you have no talent?
55:39 Is the culture today pushing loneliness and self absorption? Conservative at the DailyWire are focusing on loneliness and peoples lack of ability to enter relationships. Is this a natural consequence of nihilistic philosophy?
59:17 Can US major cities be saved from self-destruction
59:41 You’ve said that Latin America is deeply influenced by continental philosophy, but in my experience (I’m Hispanic) it is very anti-intellectual, hence why they don’t produce scientists or philosophers
1:01:18 Do you like Southern or Northern England more?
1:01:38 Today is 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd / Dark Side of the Moon album. Roger Waters speech to the UN hoping for Ukraine to surrender. Disgusting.
1:02:03 Why do people insist the past was better than the present when statistics show otherwise?
1:02:31 Is there any benefit to being at the bottom of a heirarchy in a capitalist system?
1:03:07 In many ways, the 1950's were a more sane time. Insanity has broken out all over today, as if we are supposed to accept that people are just loopy like Lori Lightfoot.
1:04:13 While the 1950s had its share of evil, irrationality and cruelty towards others, it manifested in different ways. The general population had higher standards of behavior. Today, ugliness is on display
1:06:15 Warren Buffett hates private equity(PE). Is he PE?
1:06:56 I meant to ask this during your ChatGPT show; have you ever caught a student cheating or plagiarizing? How did you handle it?
