Live Questions:
41:15 This makes 60 out of a hundred for a song review. I did the last 20 on what I thought was a live show but it was an applause. I sent you an email with a screenshot when it happened.
41:31 Do altruists have to value justice in order to support injustice - to make a worthy sacrifice?
42:59 I can see how nationalism and existential crises can bring people together to take life and values more seriously. Look at Israel. Those people love intensely.
44:55 What do you think of Mauritius? Does it have potential to be another Singapore? Are there any islands or places that are going to be great to have residency or a place to live in during World War 3? How does South East Asia come into play in WW3?
48:41 Great shows! Given that the only way to finally defeat an enemy is to destroy its will to fight, it seems to me that only way to decisively end Islamic terrorism is to demonstrate that Allah is impotent, by destroying the holiest mosques in Mecca and Medina. Thoughts?
55:09 I had a prof tell me "Hitler and the Nazi's were copying the American ideal of Manifest Destiny as justification to expand there empire". When people make giant leaps in logic, they have to be dishonest and motivated by evil?
55:13 Vivek's absolute asinine and dishonest comments on Ukraine, and his constant kissing up to Trump are pathetic. He has lost my vote. I think DeSantis is the most competent and reasonable choice.
57:52 If the uproar driving anti-Israeli sentiment is fundamentally antisemitic, what is driving the pro-Israeli sentiment? This issue brings out passion in people regardless of relations one may have, or not have, with either side
1:00:28 What inspired the positive sense of life in the 1800s? How does it differ from what influences today's negative sense of life?
1:04:44 How should the US and Israel deal with Qatar?
1:05:53 I would have had many things to criticize about the US in 1941 but I would have been 100% pro America in WW2. Equally, one can have criticisms of the policies of the Israeli government, but be 100% pro israel in the conflict.
1:08:43 I guess my point is that THIS issue gets people on both sides riled up like no other. If anti-Semitism and anti-oppression explains one side's passion, what explains the other side's? Esp. for people w/ "no skin in the game"?
1:11:11 In the future will we be able to genetically engineer geniuses? Will we be able to produce billions of Ayn Rand's?
1:12:10 Is Tucker Carlson an anti-semite?
1:13:11 Did Biden force the ceasefire? Shameful.
1:14:10 It's amazing how effective altruism is as a floating abstraction. It's so automatized in our impulses and emotional lurches.
1:14:24 Intellectuals today have become masters of using the most words possible to say absolutely nothing.
1:14:53 Is Germany the most intellectual culture in Europe? ironic that German philosophy explicitly seeks to destroy the intellect.
1:15:28 It's hard for me to believe all this anti Israel activity is calculated anti semitism. Do most people think about Jews that much?
1:16:33 A bit off topic, but do you regard addiction as a disease? It strikes me that low will power/self-esteem isn't a disease.
1:19:13 What did you make of Vivek's sexist remarks to Nikki Haley?
1:20:48 Do you consider yourself more Howard Roark or John Galt?
1:21:32 It's hard to calibrate the nihilism levels in the culture and amongst intellectuals. Maybe they're not fully nihilistic enough to want to tear it all down?
1:21:59 Obama's comments literally made me nauseous. He has no boundaries on his narcissism.
