This lecture examines the delicate balance between allowing individuals, particularly children, to experience the consequences of their actions and the instinct to protect them from harm. Through personal anecdotes and the lens of Aristotle's philosophy, the discussion highlights the importance of finding equilibrium between accountability and shielding. It explores developmental milestones in responsibility, contrasting the abilities of children and adults to manage their choices, supported by case studies on resilience and self-ownership.

NEW PREMIUM CONTENT - How Did Christianity FAIL?

Stefan Molyneux examines the question of why Christianity has not succeeded in safeguarding Western civilization. He explores the notion of a covenant between the West and Christianity, raising doubts about the expected moral protection and safety offered by the faith. By questioning whether the doctrines of Christianity promote complacency and vulnerability to evil, Molyneux delves into the implications of teachings on forgiveness and sacrifice. He discusses historical contexts where Christianity appears to have faltered and reflects on the potential for martyrdom as a consequence of the faith's teachings. The lecture challenges listeners to consider the complex relationship between religious belief and societal resilience, highlighting the contradictions inherent in the doctrines of protecting oneself while advocating love for one’s enemies.
