Live Questions:
1:04:03 How do you reconcile the respect for each individual as an individual while that person may be wearing a full burka or hijab when you know what that represents and what their belief system is all about.
1:09:49 Did you read Alan Dershowitz's article arguing these anti-semitic protests on college campuses are far worse than Charlottesvile or January 6, because the people at Charkittesville and January 6 aren't our future leaders.
1:21:44 Peterson is a funny figure. Inviting you, a hardcore egoist (congrats btw). He seem confused and/or evading. There's something Rand provides, that he cannot seem to grasp, where he senses that she is right and he is wrong.
1:25:22 Hi Yaron, I unfortunately very rarely get to catch your live show. Do you think there is a chance that the overwhelming regulation might be removed or reduced in the next 5-10 years, and what could possibly lead to that happening?
1:30:32 Do you follow the PMI's? If so, how are you interpreting them? This might be a big question...
1:34:05 Could you say Amish and/or Mennonites have a Christian religious uniform?
1:34:48 Thoughts on older family members that are communist. Is It immoral to associate with them? Are they a lost cause?
1:36:11 Great Rant” the disentegrating egalitarianism of the left is unsustainable.” The response of the right is Nazism fight both! Love it! Trump needs to lose and the Republican party needs to go the way of the Whigs…
1:38:02 Is the enlightenment close to Objectivsm? Or is it still light years away?
1:38:26 What percentage of wealthy people actually feel guilty about their wealth, vs pretend to feel guilty in order to virtue signal?
1:40:03 Hell is a place where there is no reason. We are deep.
1:40:41 How familiar are smart people with Objectivism? How much of it is evasion vs lack of knowledge?
1:41:44 Could you reach out to Alan Dershowitz for an interview? He typically says "yes" to everyone.
1:42:48 A lesson from the much maligned and undecorated Arthur "Bomber" Harris: "I do not regard the whole of the cities of Germany as worth the bones of one British Grenadier."
1:43:17 My socialist and pro palestinian friend said to me: "How can you support people or companies that support ongoing genocide?" how do you answer this?
1:44:54 Should Mexico hire Israeli intelligence services or private military contractors to a$$asinate cartels?
1:46:04 Off topic: Has a winner of the Atlas Shrugged essay contest been chosen?
1:46:12 Did you hear Australian Assyrian Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel getting stab my a muslim radical teenager? Not too long ago he insulted Jews for not accepting Christ.
1:47:24 You saw my email of little girl w/ lemonade stnd?
1:47:37 Yaron how long did it take for you to feel comfortable explaining Objectivism and what was the process? I struggle to explain things as clearly as you
1:49:21 When you pine for the GOP as an "opposition" party, doesn't that still imply you see Dems in power as the natural state of things?

1:59:08 Moral & Personal Values as Related to Passions & Whims

Live Questions:
2:34:28 Love the new format and the Galts Gulch sign. Where can I get one?!?
2:37:13 Rand wrote an achingly beautiful passage in We the Living to the effect of the heroine wanting her values to be made real, here on earth. Why do many values remain a figment of many mens’ imaginations rather than made real?
2:41:17 I think “passion” means “high emotional output”. People are passionate about things they deem “important”. Important meaning “worthy of attention”. I think it’s a neutral concept. One can hate passionately also.Your thoughts.
