Russia Update; AMA & Hangout with Contributors (July '23) | Yaron Brook Show

00:00 Intro
02:13 News from Russia
06:16 Question about Dagny from Atlas Shrugged
11:30 Question about Banking
20:10 Luo Li Rong
25:39 Legal Reform in Israel
34:16 Masculinity
41:05 Perceptual level mentality http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/anti-conceptual_mentality
45:45 Egalitarianism in Medicine

52:16 Is the real sin of self absorbtion and narcissistism that you're cutting yourself off from deep connections with other people? To really find happiness in a romantic partner and friend ship you have to build bonds, and not be just in your head?
54:09 Do you find South Korea to be more individualistic than Japan?
56:48 Hi Yaron, since you are friends with Leonard Peikoff, I have a question for you. Peikoff has said that the New York Post is the only newspaper he likes and reads. Why do you think this is?
57:30 Is altruism the primary form of mental conditioning implemented to gain tyrannical control? What other types of anti-life conditioning other than altruism do you see being propagandized?
58:26 I’m hearing Libertarians saying “Russia is actually winning and the media is hiding it”. Why would the media hide it? 75% of libertarians are nuts and make free market people look bad.

1:00:25 Spreading Objectivism
1:06:54 Post truth era
1:13:23 San Francisco Board of Education
1:22:36 Moshe Kroy
1:31:45 What issue makes you indignant?

1:33:56 What are some historical figures, events that are under emphasized or ignored on the history of the USA? What books would you recommend if any?
1:39:15 I enjoyed your video on masculinity. But masculinity and femininity are social constructs, they are not real.
1:41:32 Can it be a bit of a strawman to say some people are against "all" experts? No one is rejecting gravity just b/c we think Fauci & Co put politics 1st
1:44:06 Can you comment on Masculinity in Godfather, when Don Vito yells, "You can be Man !!" and in Lust For Life -- beefy Paul Gauguin vs. whiny Van Gogh?
1:46:45 My theory: the left and right are collectivised feminine & masculine needs that would be rational and healthy in an individualistic expression, but instead are irrational as a result of the democratic structure of society.

1:47:36 Outro
