Live Questions:
1:15:28 Reading biography of Churchill and it seems like a grave error to have given so much support to Soviets, especially after 1944 when the war was essentially won by the allies, was altruism the main reason?
1:21:32 Can you talk about the connection between selfishness and self esteem? In a sense they’re like a self reinforcing feedback loop.
1:24:21 My girlfriend recently moved from New Jersey to her college dorm in Florida. In New Jersey people acted like she was alt right but in Florida people act like she's a leftist. "Not my tribe means the other one" Mentality.
1:27:46 Are both the concepts of misinformation and disinformation valid? If so is the way the culture deals with misinformation and disinformation rational?
1:31:45 I enjoy most of your talks, Yaron.
1:32:05 Why did the US Senate never ratify the Budapest Memorandum as a binding treaty of the United States? And why did Ukraine give up its nuclear weapons without a getting a binding treaty in return?
1:36:44 Do doctors who don't support the Cass report see individual people & individual lives? What do you think motivates them? They support the destruction of lives and happiness. It has nothing to do with tolerance or bigotry.
1:40:03 You have said our political system is based on altruism. The politicians and people want some other to sacrifice for the benefit of a proffered group. I think this is not Altruism. maybe Selfish Altruism. Neo Altruism ect
1:43:35 Any thoughts on Tulsi Gabbard endorsing Trump? I find it disheartening that she & Nikki Hayley, both women I'd have voted for in a heartbeat, have endorsed him. Harris must be far worse than I thought
1:46:29 What is your opinion on factory farming?
1:50:50 Is free speech still the best it's ever been?
1:55:06 Hey Yaron! Exciting news—I’m starting a new job in Tech M&A at Deloitte! Any advice or tips on how to be successful in this field?
1:56:20 Any thoughts on Palentir and Anduril growth potential? Palmer Lucky, Alex Karp, and the future of healthier market in defense contracts.
1:57:54 MacMaster observed that Trump likes to be liked by the strongman dictators because Trump thinks it makes him a strong man himself.
1:58:35 Hope you're having a great day Yaron! My day's been great. My cat Josie took a nap on my lap after I woke up while I was watching something on my TV. Can't think of a better way to start the day.
1:59:08 For me, Trump isn’t a danger to democracy as Democrats claim, but he’ll cause significant harm to U.S. foreign policy, particularly damaging alliances
1:59:38 Do you fear the Israel’s military objective revolves around “getting the hostages home” rather than eliminating Hamas?
2:00:40 Knew a trans guy who transitioned as a kid and while he's happy living as a guy and has no intention of going back he very much so regrets transitioning as a kid because it made his bones very fragile
2:01:43 If you're listening to this show on a podcast app, please give it a rating and leave a review
2:02:14 Misinformation wouldn't be as big of an issue if tribalism wasn't as widespread. Independent minds can't afford corrupting ones view of reality.
2:02:56 My general view of the fact-checkers in society is that their accuracy is mixed, and to the extent wrong it’s due to bad epistemology usually partly motivated by subconscious collectivistic motives.
2:04:45 Would you agree that the internet and social media have basically invalidated most reasonable defenses of the "right" to public protest?
2:04:47 I get the feeling that Trump thinks he is a Smart Fella, but if you ask me, I think he is a Fart Smella.
2:05:18 In Love should I Steal ones heart or Trade for it?
2:05:37 Outro
