20:42 Fun & Stanford
26:00 Microsoft & Antitrust
Live Questions:
33:35 I love your line from your last rules for life show about "waiting for happiness to show up". So many people are waiting for a break instead of taking a chance. I would turn that segment into a short clip! Likely to go viral
34:16 It would be supercool if you debated Destiny(Steven Bonnell). He generally holds progressive, pro-establishment views and is intellectually honest imo. Ayn Rand used to be a big influence on him and still is to some extent.
36:59 Could I pay to get an objective review of a short fictional paper of mine? Would that be possible through direct message on Twitter or something similar?
38:18 "Waiting for the rainbow's end to send itself your way." Neil Peart
38:46 What differentiates being "certain" from being "absolute'? Or "Absolutely sure"? Why not say "possible" or "probable" instead of "certain"?
39:53 Why do intellectuals not take the law of identity seriously? Since causality is just the law of identity applied to action.
40:58 Do you generally prefer to go to museums alone or with others?
41:57 What do you think of Pierre Polievre? He's a big Milton Friedman fan, I just saw him on Jordan Peterson, and it looks like he has a real shot at beating Justin Trudeau.
43:47 I made it a point to make a positive comment yesterday whenever i heard relatives make a negative or complaining topic during Christmas get togethers. Never realized how much people bond over negativity until I started paging closer attention
45:29 Thank you for your consistency. I've been able to get much further in my endeavours and have gained much needed confidence because of your objective judgment of things. Thank you!
45:47 Attempting to explain basics of Objectivism to individuals, everyone cannot over come subjectivism and grasp the primacy of existence. I think there needs to be an easier way to get people to understand the philosophy.
46:48 Outro
