Live Questions:
42:50 I don't often get a chance to watch the show live. I made it today. I just want to say thanks for your honesty and moral courage. There is so little of it to be found anywhere today.
45:42 Do you believe Kissinger’s diplomatic strategy in the Middle East is partly responsible for the current state of events?
48:29 Is it mostly horrible people who comment on social media because the good people are too busy living their lives? Or is the hard truth that most people are horrible today and social media is reflecting that?
50:43 Defenders of Palestinians are in epistemological chaos, equating the Israeli “occupation” with the mass murder of innocent civilians. No hierarchy nor context = no capacity to generalize. Foolishness resting on altruism.
54:34 Can you be evil without being mentally ill in some way? Is Hamas picking deranged people to carry these things out? Like the Nazi's selected people who were a little off to be concentration camp guards?
56:41 Could Israel defeat Hamas withou international approval? I think they may have to. Images of Palestinian casualties beginning to be dominate reporting already - such images are intended to push the moral equivalency argument.
57:29 Thank you. You’ve earned it.
57:31 I think most of the AfD's rise is because the German economy is the quickest-shrinking economy in Europe. Subsidized immigration and culture are probably big secondary factors.
58:36 Have you seen the reports about the Taliban asking Iran, Iraq and Jordan for safe passage to Israel?
1:00:15 In times like this it’s hard but maybe more meaningful to hold Rand’s benevolent universe: “This injustice (or terror or falsehood or frustration or pain or agony) is the exception in life, not the rule… and justice matters.”
1:00:37 Can you explain how altruism play into this situation on all sides, I have trouble explaining this concept to people
1:03:04 Does Israel have a civilian militia? In the US, civilian militia can be called on in need, but there’s an increased risk of domestic terrorism from such organizations. To what degree can Israelis protect themselves privately?
1:04:26 I really liked my trip to Rome. Plus this recent weekend has convinced me that Gaza deserves the Carthage treatment. I'll pretend to be Cato the Elder and end my super chats with oh and btw, I think Gaza must be destroyed.
1:05:02 Do you think if the technology had existed, the nazi's would have uploaded their atrocities to social media like Hamas?
1:05:33 If intellectuals don't become more egoistic over the next few decades, will Israel still be around?
1:05:54 The West doesn't view morality in terms of right vs wrong, but in terms of strong vs weak. Until that changes, victory can never be sustained.
1:06:13 Why do you think Naftali Benet didn't last long as priminister? Do you know him personally?
1:07:09 If Israel took over Gaza and eliminated Hamas. What should they do with military aged males?
1:08:07 The white protesters you see are DSA socialists.
1:08:17 Do you think most Israeli's feel like: "we've survived worse before, we will get through this"?
1:09:10 And liberal Jewish lawyers will hire Harvard dolts
1:09:18 Israel brought human rights, reason and science to a part of the world that has disdain for all those things. What did they expect would happen? Was it a mistake to create the Jewish state there?
1:10:10 In kibbutz Alumot, 15 armed inhabitants stopped the terrorists. Perhaps you were wrong yesterday about guns? Big fan by the way!
1:10:53 How on earth can Iran be prevented from spending the 8 billion they acquired on Hamas or terrorism?
1:11:14 What's the standard we should use for judging something as a war crime? For example if Israel launches strikes on knowingly poor intel and it results in many civilian deaths would that be a war crime?
