00:00 Intro
02:22 Arrest of Telegram Founder
26:30 Hizbollah
40:00 Afghanistan
50:10 Nord Stream
1:00:07 Astronauts
Live Questions:
1:04:46 Thoughts on the current leverage ratios of hedge funds? Recently, Chamath argued on the All-In podcast that hedge funds should be more regulated in regards to their leverage ratios because they are out of line.
1:11:31 Thoughts on the following statement: "There is no question that there were many Arabs and Arab families for whom the creation of Israel was made at their expense." Is it fair to support Israel yet acknowledge this reality?
1:14:10 Musk isn't sending a special mission. NASA is just bumping two of the seats on the next scheduled SpaceX crew mission.
1:15:09 Someone did a video comparing you to Elon Musk. Is that inherently unfair since you're in the intellectual world?
1:17:41 I want private healthcare BUT others argue 'it's bad because of huge rise in insulin cost'. My rebuttal: the gov. intervenes ONLY to deregulate so new competing companies come along offering insulin cheaply. Your thoughts?
1:20:54 Briefly list some obvious US military bases overseas you think should be closed? Lets assume we had a president committed to real defenses and a vocal leader for civilization and rights. Cheers!
1:25:19 Have you seen "Love, Charlie" on Netflix. It's about Charlie Trotter and his pursuit of perfection. I was enthralled. Seems as if he was a Rand fan.
1:26:50 Who would an objectivist vote for president this fall in a swing state? Wouldn't Trump give us more conservative judges who at least somewhat defend freedom and capitalism versus the leftist judges.
1:32:40 There were no disinterested Arabs living in that land whose lives changed under those circumstances not in their control? The creation of Israel was forced upon that land without their say, no?
1:36:25 Can you steelman a nation building exercise that could have been done in Afghanistan with better success?
1:37:39 Been listening to u for 4 years Yaron, since Lexs Fridmans first appearance. I miss the late night live shows from USA. Please come to Chicago.
1:38:54 Do you attribute the Neocon dream of building free democracies in the middle east as extreme naïveté or a more serious misunderstanding of how ideas cause freedom?
1:39:54 I'm not stating an opinion. Just educational.
1:39:56 When Andreeson and others write about the sense of darkness and foreboding in the world, it indicates a decline In the American sense of life. Is the sense of life of the country degrading, if so why?
1:41:26 Wow, thank you, Yaron. That made it clear.
