Faith, Sacrifice, and the War on ReasonDid Christian values create Western civilization—or quietly undermine it?In this explosive episode of The Yaron Brook Show, Yaron takes on one of the most taboo questions in modern culture: Are faith, humility, and self-sacrifice compatible with civilization—or are they its enemies?From the Dark Ages and the Renaissance, to Islam’s role in preserving Greek philosophy, to today’s political and cultural collapse, Yaron argues that reason—not faith—is the engine of human progress. Along the way, he dismantles cherished assumptions about morality, suffering, pity, and humility—and explains why even “modernized” Christianity remains in conflict with a rational, flourishing life.The second half features a wide-ranging live Q&A, tackling Ayn Rand, Objectivism, Christianity’s aesthetic revival, the Enlightenment’s fragility, military service, Mormonism, free speech, and more.If you care about civilization, reason, and the future of the West, this episode is not optional viewing.👉 Watch live replay here: https://youtube.com/live/zSLDvYeDOFA🕒 Timestamps – Main Topics0:00 Introduction1:03 Do Christian values advance—or sabotage—civilization?6:23 Islam, Greek philosophy, and religion’s mixed legacy13:01 What is civilization—and where did it come from?20:01 Faith, self-sacrifice, and humility under the microscope31:12 Renaissance art: Christian inspiration or rebellion?37:22 Faith vs. science in the Dark Ages41:04 Why humility is incompatible with human greatness48:09 How self-sacrifice corrodes civilization57:06 Reason vs. faith as the true driver of progress1:00:06 Show announcements & upcoming events🎙️ Live Audience Questions 1:04:14 Can former Catholic believers fully escape the morality of suffering?1:11:00 Do charismatic leaders matter—or are they mirrors of culture?1:14:13 Is Christianity’s new aesthetic revival a cultural warning sign?1:19:41 What would Ayn Rand think of Chernobyl—and today’s Russia?1:22:55 Is the Enlightenment stronger than Christianity—or more fragile than we think?1:25:06 Yaron on the struggle of writing his book—and overcoming it1:30:25 Is pity a dangerous emotion Christianity teaches us to indulge?1:33:05 Ayn Rand: “Do not teach your child to be humble”1:33:46 Should we confront “good” Christians about their values?1:35:09 Will Yaron debate Steven Pinker at OCON?1:37:05 Will ARI outlast the Church in 100 years?1:40:55 When did Europe actually become civilized?1:43:31 Does moral self-sacrifice ultimately mean self-destruction?1:45:14 How do we remove religion from government without censorship?1:48:56 Why is Christianity stronger in America than Europe?1:54:38 Can military service be genuinely self-interested?1:56:44 Yaron’s thoughts on MormonismSee comment for time stamps of full questions.👍 Like | 💬 Comment | 🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into culture, politics, and ideas that matter.👉 Join the fight for reason, freedom, and individualism—because the world won’t defend itself.💡 Expect sharp insights, unapologetic truths, and challenges to Left and Right alike.📌 Support the show and join the next AMA: [Patreon](Patreon.com/yaronbrookshow) ❤️ Like, subscribe & share to spread reason and freedom!The Yaron Brook Show is Sponsored by:The Ayn Rand Institute (https://www.aynrand.org/starthere)Energy Talking Points, featuring AlexAI, by Alex Epstein (https://alexepstein.substack.com/)Express VPN (https://www.expressvpn.com/yaron)Hendershott Wealth Management (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4lfC...) https://hendershottwealth.com/ybs/Michael Williams & The Defenders of Capitalism Project (https://www.DefendersOfCapitalism.com)Join this channel to get access to perks: / @yaronbrook Like what you hear?

📺 Live December 15, 2025 Conversation w/ Vincent Geloso: The Gilded Age & Inequality? | Yaron Brook Show👉 Watch the full episode:  https://youtube.com/live/BhMYy9Q9baU*“Vincent Geloso: The Truth About the Gilded Age in America’s -- Was it the Most Egalitarian Era?”*Was the Gilded Age really a time of runaway inequality and robber barons… or the most egalitarian boom in American history?In this riveting conversation, Yaron Brook sits down with economist and historian Vincent Geloso to explore his groundbreaking research showing that 1870–1913 may have been the era when America delivered the fastest gains to the poor in its entire history.Geloso argues that once we correct for hidden census data biases, rapid declines in cost of living for the poor, improvements in longevity, and other overlooked factors, a stunning picture emerges:👉 The poor improved their living standards as fast—or faster—than the top 1%👉 America during the Gilded Age functioned as a “lean and mean egalitarian growth machine”👉 And the cause was clear: unprecedented economic freedomThis interview previews Geloso’s forthcoming 2026 book from the University of Chicago Press, offering a bold challenge to conventional narratives about capitalism, inequality, and American history.📚 About Vincent GelosoVincent J. Geloso is an Assistant Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He holds a Ph.D. in Economic History from the London School of Economics.
