Yaron Interviewed by Adam Friended of the Sitch & Adam Show🎙️ Recorded live November 18, 2025 on the Sitch & Adam Show https://youtu.be/HCaLtaSvDzQ📺 Watch Now / Comment: https://youtu.be/BQZvoo-4S0QWhy is rational self-interest moral? Why is capitalism blamed for problems it didn’t cause? And why are both the Left and the Right drifting toward dangerous, illiberal ideologies?In this lively and thought-provoking conversation, Yaron Brook joins Adam Friended & PSA Sitch to dismantle the biggest modern myths about liberalism, altruism, capitalism, status, morality, dictatorship, and global politics.Brook breaks down why self-sacrifice is not a virtue, how individualism outperforms collectivism, why the GOP continues to lose ground, how AI will transform the economy, and why authoritarian movements are rising on both sides of the political spectrum.He draws a clear line between genuine capitalism and cronyism, arguing that today’s economic problems—inequality, stagnation, corruption—are not products of free markets but of government intervention and the dysfunction of a mixed economy.Yaron also warns about the growing influence of extremist ideologies inside major political parties. Instead of tribalism or authoritarian impulses, he argues for a renewed commitment to individual rights, a rational political philosophy, and possibly a new political movement capable of addressing core issues like healthcare, immigration, and economic freedom with moral clarity and intellectual honesty.👉 If you want a fearless, rational breakdown of the world today, this is the interview you don’t want to miss.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS (Main Topics)0:00 – Introduction0:29 – Yaron’s literary works & liberalism2:58 – Myths about “progressives” & libertarians5:29 – Selfishness vs. altruism10:27 – Morality of self-sacrifice vs. self-interest15:34 – Status, hierarchies & behavior22:27 – Misunderstanding self-interest27:03 – Private equity, dictatorships & exploitation31:23 – Self-destructive behavior & proper morality38:34 – Objective morality & individualism44:08 – Political strategies & long-term consequences47:07 – GOP struggles & free-market politics52:15 – Extremism & the Nick Fuentes problem57:15 – Why America needs a third party1:04:45 – Capitalism’s reputation & “losers”1:10:09 – AI’s economic impact1:12:48 – Voluntary help vs. coercion1:15:48 – Mixed economy & job mobility1:17:03 – Rationality vs. biological urges1:20:00 – Just war, oppression & responsibility1:22:28 – Win-win business relationships1:23:11 – Nazism among young Republicans1:24:03 – American business shaping Asia1:25:50 – Can free markets exist under regulation?1:29:22 – Gaza War mistakes & Zionism1:36:18 – Native Americans & individual rights1:37:17 – Evolution, reason & identity politics1:39:55 – Wealth distribution & capitalism1:43:33 – Objectivism, individualism & foreign policy1:46:43 – Nation-building failures1:48:54 – Japanese culture & cinema💥 Live Audience Questions 1:55:00 – Is altruism ruining Western politics?1:57:00 – Can capitalism survive the coming AI wave?1:59:00 – Why do young people romanticize dictators?2:01:00 – Is a third party realistic—or a fantasy?2:03:00 – How do we fix America’s broken moral narrative?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/[Support the Show](https://www.patreon.com/YaronBrookShow)[Sponsor the Show](askyaron@yaronbrookshow.com/)[One-time donation](https://bit.ly/2RZOyJJ)Join the [Yaron Brook Show YouTube channel](https://YouTube.com/@YaronBrook)  Like what you hear?
