Death to the Ego - Long Live Wisdom! Freedomain Livestream
Question concerning discussion from a prior livestream concerning propaganda. Your description of women being the victim of statist propaganda in regards hyper-materialism, surface aesthetic obsession, misandry, collectivism, etc. was of interest. Your explanation in my humble opinion sounded very much in line with leftist victimology.
Perhaps I missed something. Are individuals to be held responsible and accountable for actions in response to being propagandized? Seems you are most willing to blame vaccine zealots, statists, collectivists, communists, etc. Could they merely be excused for being propagandized? Please clarify.
Listening to your novel 'The Present' I should be caught up to chapter 20. Grim stuff. But great writing.
Hey Stef! I want to thank you for recommending the book, “Parent Effectiveness Training” in a recent live stream. It seems like fantastic resource peaceful parenting. I’m curious to know if you think anything is missing from that book or if you have any other suggestions for further reading. I’m recently married and we intend to start having children in the next year. Much love to you my brother!
Stefan, I have a moral philosophy question for you. Any thoughts on moral asymmetries? For instance, do you believe the presence of virtuous action in a person is relative to the power imbalance between the person doing the act and the one receiving it? For example: if a security guard treats an inmate with virtue, is it of more moral significance than if the inmate treats the security guard with virtue?
Having a lot of fears lately. I know I can’t keep my child in a bubble, but how can I deter him from getting sucked in to the stupidity of todays social media generation, as well as the overexposure to all the darker things on the web. How can we best prepare him?
How is your relationship with other personalities in the world of libertarian philosophy? people like Larken Rose, Michael Malice, Dennis Pratt, Tom Woods, or whoever. Is there someone you particularly like? or someone you don't like at all.
Hypothetical moral conundrums are insanely annoying.
Stef, why not try to come back to twitter at this point, since Elon?
Stef, I can't think of a single thinker who approaches anything close to your level of insight about such a wide variety of topics.
You're as good as the top Austrians on economics, you're better at psychology than most psychologists, you have tech skills, etc.
Humility is the opposite of pride, the modern world is dripping with pride, it's not taught or shown anymore
Look I just wanted to jump back in and say I'm sad you felt like going off on a tirade on me. i was one of your oldest supporters and now I don't feel like supporting you. it's a weird feeling. bye.
I struggle with criticism too. When I was a child, every criticism from my father was always accompanied by either verbal or physical abuse.
Abusive people around your kids?

You Get What You NEGOTIATE! Listener Questions
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines civic participation and the impact of welfare systems on society. He critiques the reliance on government aid, arguing it fosters dependency and hinders personal initiative. He analyzes capitalism's complexities, emphasizing that success is influenced by market dynamics rather than just hard work. The importance of thoughtful dialogue in a polarized environment is also highlighted. Ultimately, he calls for a reevaluation of personal and collective responsibilities to create a more informed society.
Questions submitted:
"With Western society resembling that of an insane asylum, how does one stay motivated to participate? Do you ever have the desire to leave and live on an island beach?"
"If most of your life was a psychological operation, how would you logically assess the moral and strategic response once it all unravels?"
"When is it right to speak about an issue"

Stef, I genuinely appreciate your work and have learned a great deal from you over the years. But I have to push back on one recurring point: your criticism of Christianity based on the behavior of a subset of American Christians. When you say “Christians do X” without specifying which Christians, you end up implying that the entire global Christian world shares the same practices and moral failures. That simply isn’t true.
I grew up Catholic, with deep exposure to Christian communities in Croatia, Germany, and Switzerland. And I can tell you with absolute certainty: no one in these cultures defends hitting children, let alone beating them with belts. It’s not taught, not accepted, not normalized. These are some of the most loving, warm, and family-oriented Christian communities you’ll ever meet. What certain Americans do with their religion—often twisting it into something authoritarian or fanatical—has nothing to do with the Christianity lived by millions of believers ...
