Live Questions:
40:38 Have you seen the video on anti semitism and conspiracy theories Arnold Schwarzenegger just put out? It was actually pretty good. Talking about how conspiracy theories are only for the weak who are afraid to focus all that energy on self improvement.
41:32 I don't think I could buy a BMW because I'm reminded too much of German philosophy. Is this irrational? Did you have any misgivings of buying your Audi? (German made).
42:56 I learn Italian and talk w/ people around the world. One thing that surprised me was how much admiration they have for USA. I get incensed when libertarians compare USA to Russia/Iran- they are clueless, nihilist people.
43:58 Hi Yaron! I haven’t heard about him in a while, so I was wondering if you could share some Mao information. What characterizes “Maoism” and what are some examples of his evils? Ps, great round of talk lately!
49:04 Should I (we?), the anti-populists, fully embrace the label "Elitist", or is there a better term to distinguish us from the populists that have taken over the libertarian party, the republicans, and maybe soon the democrats?
51:18 What would Putin see if he looked into the Mirror of Erised? That’s the magic mirror from Harry Potter.
52:16 Do you view the claim that “Tic Toc needs to be banned because the Chinese will seek to control us” as dumb? If so is there some nefarious cause behind banning it besides xenophobia?
55:06 Hey Yaron, I'm going on vacation to Puerto Rico may 1-6. What would your recommendation be as my tour guide for the island!? Food, Point of interest, experiences? Thanks Yaron, I love the show! And I might go to OCON 2023!
56:05 What is an irreducible conscious experience?
56:28 The actor Topol from Fiddler... died. When he sings "If I Were a Rich Man", does the man like capitalism in some form with his positive view of Money?
57:00 The people that want to go to war w/ cartels, where were they the last 40 years with Iran?
57:21 Do you think that the hippocratic oath is an argument to religious people like Dennis Preger that you can have morality without religion?
