Can you eat just one chip? 😂 Plus: Trump, Peikoff, Israel, and if Capitalism is too big to specialize in. A must-listen YBS AMA!

In this special June AMA & Contributor Hangout episode, Yaron Brook answers a wide-ranging mix of light-hearted, philosophical, and deeply political questions from his most engaged fans and supporters. The session blends laughter, serious cultural critique, and deep dives into philosophical principles—all with Yaron’s signature clarity and conviction.

The show kicks off with a humorous challenge: Can anyone eat just one Lays potato chip?—a classic snack-food riddle that leads to a few laughs and a Chuck Norris reference. From there, the discussion takes a more philosophical turn: Do people adopt rational philosophies because of a healthier psychology, or does philosophy shape psychological health?

Later in the stream, viewers raise serious concerns about Trump’s motives, authoritarianism, and America’s future, including whether the next administration can return the country to "normal."

Other topics include:

• Should life-sentenced prisoners be offered the option of suicide?
• Does America wield too much influence over Israeli decision-making?
• Why are antisemitism and anti-Israel sentiment surging on both left and right?
• Is relying on Yaron's integration of the news a shortcut—or a substitute for independent thinking?
• A hilarious invention: a mosquito “Iron Dome” for barbecues!
• And a serious question from a young thinker: Is Capitalism too broad a specialization?

With warmth, humor, and unflinching honesty, Yaron makes this session a rewarding experience for both new listeners and longtime supporters.
