1:18:43 Some say public companies are the worst part of capitalism because they only care about growth. They will cite examples like Warner Bros, which is in trouble now, and compare it with something like Chick-fil-A, which is privately owned and doing fine
1:23:18 What would Pakistan do if the US took out Iran?
1:24:10 “You can’t always get what you want.” —economics lesson from Mick Jagger
1:24:33 NewIdeal Live episode from28SEP2020,You + others talk aboutARIs Non-profit status and what that means in context to talking about candidates and such. Could you briefly touch on that?”Scott”types dont hear about that enough.
1:28:39 Hey Yaron! I'm curious what some examples of questions you would ask of someone you are getting to know whether they are receptive to Objectivism. Failing that, knowing if they are collectivist or not.
1:33:04 In the VoS and OPAR, AR and LP write that, “The Objectivist Ethics holds man's life as the standard of value”. Shouldn't Objectivists advocate this standard, to counter those that have contempt for life and produce misery.
1:34:48 Which opera?
1:35:57 @PhilosophyAtWork, did you know that 23 degrees is pi divided by 8 in radians? Pi over eight. Think about it.
1:36:30 I hate the word "fair"; it seems a package deal of justice and altruism. BTW, have you read Hanania's essay, yet?
1:37:40 Do you think people disdain a free market because they fear having to rely on their own ability? No confidence in themselves to earn a proper living?
1:38:37 How do you think it’s psychologically tenable for the Obama’s to deride wealth so explicitly and live a first class lifestyle, including owning several multi-million dollar mansions?
1:40:01 It’s not morally persuasive to argue against raising prices based on the conservative talking point that the grocery industry’s profit is only 1.6%, even it does underscore the absurdity of the Left.
1:41:21 Any comments on the Canadian rail strikes, and how it might effect the US?
1:43:32 What did you have for dinner last night?
1:44:46 What shouldld israel do about religious extremism
1:46:08 Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies (Warner Bros) vs old Disney cartoons from a similar era? Your vote?
1:46:35 Follow-up:I ask because“Scott”types wail against ARI because its approach to politics, not understanding it’s an organization formed to promote and advocate Rands ideas.I get they wont hear it though
1:47:49 Many people on social media with passionate views (on the left and right) seem uninterested in socio-economic data. Even when you post links, they just claim the data is corrupted by the 'elites'
1:50:11 How can you change someone's morality. Doesn't it fall to each individual to do it themselves?
1:51:43 I’m an aerospace engineer, working on satellites in the UK. I’d like to move to the USA to reach my full potential. However, due to regulations, I can’t work in space without a green card. What is the best way to get it?
1:53:34 What do you make of the fact that many people give up on fairness, as though it’s a childish notion, most prominently expressed in the saying, “life is not fair”?
1:55:08 Do you miss California? Do you think you will ever move there again? Besides the taxes and wacky politicians, was there anything else that made you want to leave? What about Tampa? Did you consider anywhere else besides PR?
1:59:40 Outro
