  • Impartiality at its best

    This show is well worth anyone’s time who is interested in learning about current events as well as values based life lessons and fundamentals of thinking. Very few podcasts can you listen to regularly because they are just not good enough but Yaron constantly challenges you to think and reflect and consider how the world works philosophically. A must listen.

  • The libertarians of life extension

    Libertarians believe that they are defenders of liberty, simply by virtue of asserting their support for capitalism on a narrowly political level—even as they repudiate the entire philosophical foundation on which true freedom depends. Similarly, the Objectivist movement has spent 4 decades systematically evading the application of survival as the standard in ethics to aging and life extension. Now ARI intellectuals, with Yaron’s endorsement, have formally rejected egoism applied to aging—all wh... more

  • Excellent podcast

    The Yaron Brook show is an excellent substitute to your general sources of knowledge. All in one you can find interest in Economics, principles in philosophy and a lot of common sense. If you don’t enjoy thinking to the extent that your life is important to you... then this show is not for you.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hoppe: The Libertarian God that Failed | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
Q: How can Israel allow Arab leaders in the government if it cites an existential threat from Arab nations? Do these leaders put Israel first?
Brook says the Arab parties were unlikely to join the next government, but he interprets their increased support as a response to the state's failures to address Arab citizens' safety, education, and discrimination concerns.
Hoppe: The Libertarian God that Failed | Yaron & Nikos Dialogues
Q: How do you judge libertarians for their moral relativism? When you discuss with better libertarians, do you sense genuine confusion or fear evasion?
Brook says many libertarians focus on economics and politics but disengage when discussion turns to morality. He suggests some associate morality with religion, while others are simply uninterested in connecting morality to human life.
Elections: Brazil, Israel, USA; France Riots; Starlink | Yaron Brook Show
Q: Would socialized medicine in America hurt the whole world?
Brook argues that socializing U.S. medicine would reduce medical innovation, harming Americans and the countries that benefit from innovations developed in the United States.
Elections: Brazil, Israel, USA; France Riots; Starlink | Yaron Brook Show
Q: Does Starlink need a real competitor?
Brook says competition would benefit SpaceX and give users alternatives, and hopes companies in Europe or Japan will develop viable competitors.
Consequences; Affordability (Cochrane); Ukraine; War?; Achievements | Yaron Brook Show
Q: If concept formation is learned, why isn't that proof we have free will?
Brook says the argument must show how concept formation requires choice and connect that process to reasoning. He argues that Ayn Rand's account makes this case, though most people do not accept it.
