Trump, De-Naturalization, EV Mandates & Venezuela — The West at War With Reality
Is the West losing its grip on reality?
From Trump’s latest rhetoric and calls for de-naturalization, to electric car mandates, Venezuela’s collapse, and Australia’s regulatory descent — Yaron Brook dissects the political, philosophical, and economic forces reshaping the world.
This episode cuts through tribalism, populism, and moral evasion to expose what really drives today’s crises: bad philosophy, anti-capitalism, and fear of individualism. Plus, a wide-ranging live Q&A on Ayn Rand, nihilism, Kant, racism, psychedelics, cost of living, tech elites, and whether capitalism is surviving despite government.
⚠️ If you’re tired of “good politics” replacing truth — this episode is for you.
