Live Questions:
1:02:16 Have you read “Compromised: Clinton, Bush and the CIA” by Terry Reed? It’s an insider expose of Iran Contra/Barry Seal Cocaine Connection. From Mena, Arkansas, to the White House: How the presidency was co-opted by the CIA.
1:05:26 Please answer my about Greta Thunburg and her possible support for nuclear power.
1:05:50 I read something about Greta Thunburg coming out for nuclear power. It is hard to believe.
1:06:31 Do you think escaping or attempting to escape imprisonment should be a criminal offense that's punishable with an added prison time sentence?
1:07:38 Was the attorney who grilled you on the witness stand rational or dishonest and obnoxiously trying to score points with the jury and judge?
1:09:03 finishing my report on Montessori for my professional research and reporting class. Also any update on Ukraine. Also MTG sucks
1:13:31 How much do you think Iran and North Korean bandits are helping the Russian barbarians? Do you think the material / arms support is making a major difference, and what should US do about it?
1:15:47 What would happen if the US bombed Iran after 9/11, without sending in ground troops? Do you think this would be an improvement from nation-building?
1:17:50 Do you think Putin knows he screwed up on some level, or is he a thoroughly delusional megalomaniac?
1:18:49 Suppose you're a German during WW2, you always opposed the regime. Do you have a moral duty to escape? And if you don't, you deserve whatever happens to you?
1:20:15 What would the world look like if the US adopted Reagan style rhetoric about freedom and actually took a few meaningful steps to practice it at home? Did his rhetoric have a major impact on Eastern Europe in the 1980s to help end the Cold War?
1:21:53 Canada's Supreme Court refuses to listen to opposition by @DrBrianDay + patients
1:25:19 I sometimes have a problem knowing when to move on from relationships and when it is time to cut someone out of my life. I tend to see the best in people, and I find it difficult to walk away from someone I admire. When is it time to move on?
1:25:22 Is Kant the reason destruction is celebrated? Or does ugliness naturally have to bubble to the surface without Ayn Rand's presentation of the proper alternative?
1:27:08 We need to create a large segment of the population with a massively strong mindset and undeniable clarity.
1:27:45 Extremely helpful, thank you Yaron. Also I’m not sure if you saw my email I sent you about a consulting / zoom meeting a few weeks ago, I had “$$ for meeting to discuss private school” in the subject line
1:28:38 Why isn’t there more Objectivist scholarship and discussion of Aristotle vs Kant? Is there too much focus on the negative?
1:31:28 Illinois is looking to lift the ban on construction of nuclear plants.
1:32:10 Update about Leonard Peikoff
1:34:57 Here's $5 more from a loyal monthly supporter! I enjoy the show and the daily updates.
1:35:07 Did you see the woman calling Alex Epstein a racist/white supremacist in congress? Absolutely despicable...
1:35:21 For so much more than bandwidth 🤗. Thanks for the show, it’s made working on the weekend way better for me.
1:35:37 what´s the chain of reasoning to establish the right to life purely from facts of reality?
1:38:42 Ok, I sent it again to your YBS email, thanks! Awesome to hear that Leonard is doing well. I also think we need someone to apply Alex’s framework to data privacy issues. There are so many fallacies on data privacy
1:39:31 What is your schedule for the rest of April/May?
1:40:21 People need to pitch in more, I’ll get us there myself if I have to. I’ve been missing Yaron’s shows - my quality of life went down not having them
1:41:41 See pinned comment for timestamps of additional questions
