Episode Synopsis

Question 1: [2:11] - I am an ex-Iranian immigrant to Canada. Is full integration/assimilation really doable for someone who immigrates to a new country past the age of 15 (i.e. around the age of sexual/linguistic maturity)?" Is it possible that there are biological obstacles that might make this highly unlikely if not completely impossible? Question 2: [1:39:15] - The subject I would like to cover with Stefan, is the topic of being a morally consistent Voluntaryism while, at the same time, supporting the current immigration policies that Stefan is in support of, in respect to Syrian and Muslim immigrants. I do not necessarily disagree with Stefan but I am having a hard time seeing how I could defend such a policy from the Anarcho-Capitalist, morally consistent position. I have therefore, not committed fully to either side. What I wish to get out of the call, is a conclusion to this that I can explain, once and for all that falls in line with my Libertarian beliefs.Question 3: [2:32:15] - One of the first conclusions derived from the fundamental precepts of philosophy states that synonyms are not allowed in rational discussions. Based upon this conclusion, what is your distinction, if any, between the words “State” and “Government”? If you make no distinction, shouldn’t you resolve this issue in accordance with the precepts of philosophy?
