1:04:14 Capital formation and capital aggregation is different from total free exchange, Capitalism is an ideal. How do we peel off concepts? Mixed economies are inefficient and unstable, could we cost/benefit elements of freedom. I think I've seen that crudely done by think tanks like the Fraser Institute in Canada.
1:08:13 What is your top advice for those who wish to pursue an intellectual career focused on defending Capitalism? Thanks for all you do, Yaron. You're an American treasure.

1:09:30 I just discovered Robert Reich has over 400,000 subscribers. The country is over. That guy is such an obvious fraud, to see thousands of people praise him in the comments sections of his videos makes me nauseous to no end.
1:10:25 Don't answer!! I prefer to wait for the show topic. Just a bit curious as to why there's not more buzz about him eliminating the taxes. I appreciate that you will include it as a show topic!THANKYOU
1:10:38 Is a man ever acting in his rational self-interest by giving money to a woman who does OnlyFans?
1:12:22 Regarding yesterday’s show, the US also imported many German scientists/technicians after WW2 who helped develop the space program, not just the USSR.
1:13:04 As a flat earther, certain powers that be might be hiding the true amount of land and resources we have left, and could be larger than our globe says.
1:14:21 What do you think of Catherine Mendez?
1:14:32 What does a Donald Trump second term look like?
1:16:00 Did you see the Patrick Bet David video on selfishness vs selflessness yet?
1:16:08 You said yesterday that: "altruism is the source of nihilism", but I know many nihilists who were never altruistic.
1:17:14 Is Japan less regulated and controlled than the US and Western Europe?
1:18:21 Prejudices are what fools use for reason.
1:18:33 I'm not shocked Objectivism hasn't taken over the world yet, but I am rather perplexed as to why it isn't significantly bigger given how good our intellectuals like yourself are?
1:20:00 Did you see DeSantis just signed the universal school voucher bill? Every kid in Florida gets an $8,000 voucher.
1:21:40 Who was the young woman with the glasses and hot legs in the Colombia video in the pub? She seemed to be leftist, but also quite Elitist toward you.
1:22:30 In the future, will it no longer require bravery to be a first hander? Intellectual honesty will just be the norm?
