23:03 It offends the true altruists
30:38 Wrong view of Libertarians
33:45 Why doesn't the government do it?

Live Questions:
41:21 Do you think a reason why altruists are getting bent out of shape over Mr. Beast curing blindness is because it reminds them that they are not living up to their own code of ethics? Thank you for the show!
42:13 It takes more energy and anxiety to make a career out of jealousy and hate than it takes to be selfish and find what makes you happy and content. Are they unaware that their own happiness in this life is even an option?
44:31 What is it about dogs that you don’t like and have you ever discussed this topic with Mr Peikoff? I’m joking of course, just wanted to give you $20, I rarely catch you live!
46:39 I think - Sincere does not mean Honest: Honesty is correspondence of the content of one’s consciousness with the available evidence; Sincerity only means corresponding to one's consciousness, even without evidence. Your view?
48:37 People think if you do something good bc of yourself, then you don't really care about other peoples pain, you have no real empathy. Your actions come from a narcissistic place. It's not that they want MrBeast to suffer like Christ on the cross. Thats a bizarre idea.
52:57 People want to pretend to be Kantians while living like Aristotelians. Why are they so hell bent on us all pretending??
53:34 Yaron want to leave Iowa, terrible weather, no culture, bad food. But affordable, own my house, low taxes. I miss my home of California with great weather, food and culture, yet expensive. Just venting, love the show, 🍺
53:59 Are altruists sadists?
54:20 Are their different categories of altruists? The useful idiots who think they're promoting a more humane and empathetic world, and the one's motivated by envy and hatred of the good?
56:08 Does your attitude create your reality? What you focus on is what will manifest? Is there something to the law of attraction in a non mystical way?
57:00 Why should MrBeast get to become a billionaire off making stupid youtube videos? It's not fair.
1:00:29 Last week you said that Scientists have self esteem. I disagree. Try telling them their theory is wrong or their experiment fails. They can't take it.
1:02:01 MrBeast did a long form serious interview with Lex Fridman. Maybe you can get him on and it would be your first video with 10 million views?
1:02:49 I think the Left defines Altruism as society prospering from wealth distribution. The giver & receiver get to live in a wealthier society, no one hurt
1:04:41 "An orgy of Altruism" destroying civilization is where I disagree with Rand. It's the toughest argument to make, and I don't think we're that altruist
1:07:36 So Leonard doesn’t currently have a dog?
1:09:06 I find when im talking with people about politics/philosophy im fighting 2 battles, explaining the ideas I believe, then thinking up an examples that doesn't exist so they understand, it's a tough battle, also ripple sec pls
