Q: Is border enforcement ICE a legitimate function of government, or would FBI police be ones getting actual criminals out of rational society?
No, ICE does not belong in a rational society. Minimum border control is needed, but the FBI should handle domestic criminal activities.

Q: Have you heard about Senator Bernie Moneo from Ohio proposed the Exclusive Citizenship Act of 2025, which ends dual citizenship?
I think it's horrible. Why is it the business of the government if you have dual citizenship?

Q: Are there signs of ADHD other than not being able to focus?
ADHD is a loose cluster of characteristics, and instead of focusing solely on symptoms, it's more beneficial to consider individual experiences and what specific challenges they face without adhering to strict diagnostic categories.
Conversation with Gena Gorlin -- Defining a Life of Genuine Ambition | Yaron Brook Show
Q: What is your psychological analysis of Donald Trump? Has he lived a life of genuine ambition?
Yes, Trump is exhibit A for narcissism, and I do not believe he has lived a life of genuine ambition by any remotely sensible definition.
Conversation with Gena Gorlin -- Defining a Life of Genuine Ambition | Yaron Brook Show
Q: What valuable insights and psychology of ambition have you learned about regarding ambitious, high functioning, AUDHD, Autism plus ADHD?
The big error mode is pathologizing perfectly normal behaviors, which can be reclassified as natural variations of human experience rather than disorders, allowing individuals to focus on their unique challenges and needs.
