Live Questions:
1:06:52 Please review the song "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen. Thanks.
1:07:49 Is communism a more consistent application of altruism then fascism/nationalism? Bc fascism is structured around hierarchies, it doesn't have the egalitarian element which seems like consistent altruism would demand?
1:10:06 I don't think you covered it in your news streams, but wanted to give you a chance to talk about the Lindsey Graham - Elizabeth Warren anti-big tech op ed that came out last week.
1:13:48 Speaking technically, do you view these principles as principles? When a principle begins by “Most people…” it seems a lot of dangerous ideas can follow that.
1:14:34 "Most people" is a very disturbing way of thinking. Ignore the individual to serve the majority, exceptional people be damned.
1:16:09 People still think like that Gailbraith dude. Individualism means "a lone wolf" away from the safety of the pack. Why is it so hard for them to understand what we mean?
1:20:21 I don’t see why you couldn’t be an advisor to a DeSantis or Vivek administration? Have you ever attempted to reach out to a sitting presidents administration? Even members of Trumps team used to watch your show.
1:23:07 Are you seeing a small acceleration in the growth of Objectivism? I've been seeing it.
1:23:22 You said in an interview you don't care what happens beyond you and your children's lifetimes, but wouldn't it bother you a little if you knew humanity was going to go extinct 100 years from today?
1:24:52 Trump gave $700M loan to Yellow Trucking, owns 30% of company now going bankrupt
1:25:59 What is your view of Howard Stern?
1:27:28 Some O’ists are taken in by Conservatives’ freedom-speak, but they’re wolves in sheep’s clothing, and their clothing is shedding. How do you suggest O’ists deal with hating the Left such that they don’t feel feel pro-Right?
1:28:37 I think the nationalist conservatives are going to get crushed in 2024. Free market types will rise from the ashes.
1:28:49 How would you rank: Financial Times, Wall Street Journal and The Economist?
1:29:50 Is there anyway for the conservatives to ever get back to at least the Coolidge, Goldwater and Raegan's of the world while getting over their obsession with Trump, Desantis and Orban ?
1:30:49 Thanks for the phrase “individual as the moral unit”. If that was the prevelant view it would clarify many issues.
1:30:58 Please review the DC comic book character "Anarchy" from May 1997. He develops his superpowers by studying Objectivism and beats the crap out of Batman.
1:31:24 Globalism=capitalism=immigration=trade/international/local:individuals
1:31:39 How can combat someone who keeps saying the US provoked Putin to invade Ukraine? They toss around the word Provoke like an excuse. Are they right?
1:32:22 Do you think statist intellectuals are more frustrated they can't get rid of capitalism or free market intellectuals are more frustrated they can't achieve real capitalism?
1:32:56 Inside every cynical person is a disappointed idealist.
