5:30 - As taxation is clearly theft and amoral and is used for heinous acts on the part of the government, it is certainly immoral to contribute to this government through paying taxes or any other way. My question, then, is do you pay your own taxes?
7:43 - What book has the distinction of being the most influential upon your perspective?
8:28 - How does an anarcho-capitalist society protect priceless artifacts?
9:47 - In The Fountainhead, Gail and Dominique both talk about how they do not get the same feeling from nature that they do from skyscrapers or the New York skyline. I find that I get the same sort of "wow" feeling from each of them. Do you think this could be a result of religious indoctrination that I couldn't completely shake off, because I might be subconsciously perceiving nature as something created or am I missing her point entirely?
13:00 - In The Fountainhead, why does Dominique not punish herself by trying to marry Toohey who has a complete understanding of his evil instead of Gail?
13:38 - I am an anarcho-capitalist. I work for a local government agency as an assistant to an elected official. I have the opportunity of advising him on a daily basis how to decrease the influence, power, and theft of the local government agency. Do you believe this is hypocritical of me?
15:08 - What do you think of Leonard Peikoff thoughts that it's morally justifiable to nuke Iran and that Israel is the only "moral entity" in the Middle East?
17:54 - If we do not try to hold our elected officials accountable for their criminality, who is going too? Why do you believe there can be no consequences for these people, in the long run? What do you see as the inevitable end to all the evil, which is unfolding in front of all of us?
22:55 - Why don't enough people believe that economic incentive is the only driving force that could possibly improve our world. It's as if they feel its unethical, why is that?
26:07 - How would you respond to these general assertions?
"If you don't support our soldiers, you can go follow someone else. I would bet that you aren't a part of a military family and have NO IDEA what we go through. And its all so you can sit back and say "don't support war or soldiers." NO. the soldiers don't like the war any more than anyone else. But they are willing to sacrifice their lives to save you. So please. Go spread your "anti-soldier" rant somewhere else. After Vietnam, when people blamed the soldiers, and not the government for the war, they regretted it. After they made the soldiers outcasts. And said that they were evil. They realized twenty years later that these men did not agree with the war any more than themselves. But these men fought for their country when asked to, instead of sitting at home behind a screen cursing the lives of loved men and women. I don't care if you support the war. War is wrong. But support the men and women who go and risk death so you can play your drums and sit behind your screen."
