1:09:09 USA is the New USSR?
Live Questions:
1:39:43 I found Fergusson’s OPINION piece to have good parts but overall the moral equivalency was a little ridiculous. America is still so far from soviet Russia if you objectively assess. What is his motive then?
1:41:45 As we enter a new technological revolution of AI, what do you think are some main intellectual forces that threaten tech’s development, and which must be challenged so as to facilitate humanity’s flourishing?
1:44:11 I was on Reddit and there was a post about how Atlas Shrugged was overrated. The number of comments that completely misrepresented the book, and Ayn Rand in general, was infuriating! A lot of Bioshock references. I almost lost sleep over this.
1:45:52 Is it true that Donald Trump wants to give Green Cards to all immigrants who are hired for a job. It seems too good to be true, especially for Trump.
1:48:20 hey Yaron. have you heard of Hoppe's argumentation ethics? it seems to have replaced the basic natural rights arguments in libertarian circles. It seems geared to axiomatize the NAP, forgoing rights all together
1:49:35 What is one place you can confidently lie while surrounded by Objectivist intellectuals? At the poker table, with Yaron and others, at OCON! So fun.
1:49:54 I read The Fountainhead and am confused by Dominique. I thought she was nihilist, but now I think she transitioned from selfless to selfish. Thoughts?
1:52:30 If you were forced to live with an antisemite on a deserted island and your choices were a neo Nazi, a Bolshevik, a black power Afro centrist or a Palestinian, which one would you choose and why?
1:53:31 @Shozbot You've sponsored many Star Trek reviews in 2022, but I can't find a YBS review of ST:TNG Season 2 Ep9, "Measure of a Man". Did you sopnsor? If so, what date?
1:54:07 Candace is the living proof of a famous saying: "If you give success to stupid people it makes them even more stupid".
1:54:19 Joined late, hope OCON 2024 was awesome, already registered for OCON 2025, see ya'all there! (Register now, friends: 50% discount ends after Monday!)
1:54:54 Exciting news about the Austin Objectivist building being built. Any estimated timeline for construction?
1:58:39 In regard to right wing theory is there a difference, currently, between US and European immigration strategy. I think Europe is being usurped.
1:59:38 “Measure of a Man” was reviewed on Dec 27, 2021. Video titled “Elizabeth Warren vs Elon Musk (and Reality). Time stamp aroundd 1:11:50.
1:59:55 Candace Owens is what you get when owning the Left is all you care about. Shapiro made a huge mistake hiring her without doing some vetting.
2:00:12 Who's worse on free trade/tariff policy, Trump or Biden?
2:00:57 OCON 2025 is in Boston! I will be there and you can join me at the poker tournament and at all of the events. It is amazing.
2:01:16 Tal was a great hire to lead ARI.
2:01:21 The Lebanon involvement in the war?
2:01:59 Please talk about Philip Rearden. Is he parasite?
2:02:20 Just registered OCON 2025. I was the one giving you cash support at the poker tournament. See you all next year in Boston!
2:02:39 Hi Yaron, Do you think I was right to ask the Huntington to remove an ugly post modern from the Blue Boy gallery? is that an artistic crime?
2:03:23 honestly, I am fearful for Europe. I'm seeing a lot of rumblings reminiscent of of the 1920s, except now everyone is Weimar Germany...
