💭 DESCRIPTION 💭

🇬🇧 [PT below]

Yaron Brook is Chairman of the Board at the Ayn Rand Institute and one of the most influential voices advocating for objectivism, capitalism, and free markets in the world today. He’s been on Lex Fridman, the Jordan Peterson Academy and countless other platforms due to his expertise, speed, and intelectual sharpness.This was probably the most challenging episode I’ve ever done because I interviewed someone with (what I would describe as) radical views that are quite different from my own. The show wouldn’t live up to its name if such differences had led to failure. It turned out to be an amazing and thought-provoking conversation where we both had fun. Check out the timeline to follow our topics, buckle up, and enjoy the ride! Thanks Yaron!

🇵🇹

Yaron Brook é uma das vozes mais influentes no mundo no que toca a defender o objetivismo, o capitalismo e os mercados livres. Já participou no Lex Fridman, no Jordan Peterson Academy, e várias outras plataformas graças à sua expertise, rapidez e acutilância intelectual.Este foi um dos episódios mais desafiadores que já fiz, pois entrevistei alguém com (o que eu descreveria como) opiniões radicais, bastante diferentes das minhas. O programa não faria jus ao seu nome se essas diferenças tivessem levado ao fracasso. O resultado foi uma conversa incrível e provocadora, onde ambos nos divertimos. Da uma vista de olhos nos temas abordados, aperta o cinto, e desfruta desta viagem! Thanks Yaron!
