Live Questions:
41:31 When I was younger, hearing someone say the free market will solve problems sounded like "God will solve our problems." I didn't get it until I read Ayn Rand. Any advice on explaining why and how the free market works to someone who is skeptical?
48:28 will the Federal Reserve choose to shift course and pursue a policy pivot, or will it continue to press forward with its present strategy of raising interest rates?
50:33 Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena is the oldest bank
51:03 Why Ayn Rand said that if we are seeking to know what is wrong with the world, it all comes from man’s attempt to evade the fact that A is A? It all boils down to that?
53:18 Have you seen Biden's tweets lately where he's written: "Look, I'm a capitalist, but...". At least he sees the need to give lip service to capitalism.
53:46 Are intellectuals stubborn in upholding bad ideas because they have low self esteem?
54:32 Who cares about character. Owning the libs is the only thing that matters in this world, don't let the truth get in your way. 😉
54:45 Are most people thoroughly corrupt, or mildly corrupt?
55:10 In Hungary you can hardly find a “Christian Conservative” politician anymore who hasn’t been involved in some ultra filthy sex scandal…
55:46 Why are the banks failing suddenly? Will people lose their jobs? It seems to me that these econ downturns happen randomly, either that or the media doesn't give us an early warning.
57:14 Wouldnt Ayn Rand demand objective money to integrate with reality - as opposed to subjective crypto or intrinsic fiduciary (state determined value)
58:05 How excited are you for Apple Musical launching soon? Dedicated Classic music app with unique layout with ability to search by composer, work, conductor or even catalog number, to locate recordings.
59:01 Do you think qualified immunity should end?
59:36 What do you think of UAE and Saudi hiring Western professors and creating joint programs with top universities? Do you think they will allow nutty left things happen in our lifetime?
1:00:35 I find this financial stuff interesting and I'm thinking about changing my major. would it be better to study economics at a liberal state school or get a math degree if I want to work in finance?
1:01:08 prior to the fed, how did interest rates work? What was Woodrow Wilson's reasoning for establishing the fed? It doesnt seem to have done anything good
1:02:11 maybe AI productivity gains will save us from inflation like tech has since 2008
1:02:29 is MBA's are worthless nowdays?
1:03:35 Hi Yaron! What do you think are the biggest differences between Israeli schools and American schools? If you don't mind my asking, what were the most important considerations in choosing a school for your kids?
