History of Philosophers!

Get ready for a wild ride through the annals of thought with our side-splitting, mind-bending "History of Philosophers" series!

A bonus for ANY donation this month at https://www.freedomain.com/donate

Here's a sneak peek at what's in store:

  • The Buddha's Enlightenment Express: Watch as Siddhartha Gautama seeks enlightenment, only to find it under a tree while everyone else is looking in the sky. "Middle path? More like middle of nowhere!"

  • Confucius Says... What?: Confucius tries to teach harmony and virtue, but his students keep confusing his wisdom for fortune cookie messages. "Man who stand on hill with mouth open will wait long time for roast duck to drop in."

  • Zeno's Paradoxical Party: Zeno of Elea throws a party where you can never actually reach the dance floor because you always have half the distance left to go. Spoiler: No one dances, but everyone's really good at standing still.

  • Socrates' Socratic Sarcasm: Socrates wanders around Athens, pretending to know nothing, just to make everyone else look foolish. "The only thing I know is that I know nothing... about your fashion sense."

  • Plato's Cave Rave: Plato hosts a rave in a cave where shadows on the wall are the only entertainment. "You think this is reality? Ha! Try stepping outside, my friend."

  • Aristotle's Logic Lab: Aristotle attempts to organize everything into categories, including his sandwich ingredients. "Is this bread a substance or an accident? Let's debate!"

  • Augustine's Confessions of a Drama Queen: Augustine writes his confessions, but it's more like a reality TV show where he's both the star and the narrator. "Oh, the drama of my soul!"

  • Anselm's Ontological Origami: Anselm tries to prove God's existence by folding a piece of paper. "If I can imagine the greatest paper airplane, it must exist, right?"

  • Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica Showdown: Aquinas takes on every philosophical question in a rap battle format. "I'm Aquinas, here to say, I'll sum it up the Thomistic way!"

  • William of Ockham's Razor Sharp Wit: Ockham shaves down complex arguments to their simplest form, often leaving his opponents bald with embarrassment. "Simplest explanation? You're wrong."

  • Francis Bacon's Scientific Shenanigans: Bacon tries to revolutionize science, but his experiments keep exploding. "Knowledge is power... and sometimes very loud."

  • Hobbes' Leviathan Laughs: Hobbes imagines a world where life is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short," but it turns out he's just describing his roommate.

  • Descartes' Doubtful Disco: Descartes doubts everything, including the music at the disco. "I think, therefore I dance... maybe."

  • Pascal's Wager on Wheel of Fortune: Pascal bets on God's existence like it's a game show. "What do you mean, 'Bankrupt'?"

  • Locke's Essay on Human Understanding: Locke tries to explain human understanding, but everyone's too busy understanding why there's no more coffee.

  • Spinoza's Substance Soirée: Spinoza invites everyone to a party where everything is made of the same substance. "You, me, this table... all one big happy substance!"

  • Berkeley's Idealist Ice Cream Social: Berkeley insists that ice cream only exists when perceived, leading to a lot of disappointed guests. "If a cone melts in the park and no one's around, did it ever really melt?"

  • Hume's Skeptical Soirée: Hume throws a party where no one can be sure if they're actually having fun. "Is this pleasure, or just a bundle of impressions?"

And many more philosophers who'll tickle your funny bone and stretch your mind!

Join us on this philosophical journey where the only thing more profound than the thoughts is the laughter. Subscribe now to the "History of Philosophers" series, where wisdom meets whimsy, and every episode is a new adventure in absurdity!

How to Save Your Marriage!

Stefan Molyneux digs into the challenges of romantic relationships, particularly how men and women interact. He pushes back against the idea that equality means being identical, pointing out that real differences shape what people can do and how they excel. Drawing from things like how siblings get along or gaps in pay, he stresses the need to appreciate what each person brings to the table. He also looks at how mismatched ways of talking can lead to confusion, and suggests embracing those differences instead of letting them cause friction. In the end, Molyneux calls for an approach to equality that respects personal traits as key to solid partnerships.

Feminism! Ana vs Pearl!

Stefan Molyneux takes on a debate about feminism between Ana Kasparian and Pearl Davis in his Freedomain podcast.

Molyneux breaks down some common misunderstandings in economic data and digs into the nuances of gender expectations and family life. In the end, he questions what modern feminism really means and encourages people to join the conversation.

In response to questions from listeners, he reviews how women appear in ads and what those images suggest about society. He questions stories in the media about encounters with police and touches on how social media shapes conversations. Toward the end, he shares thoughts on the cryptocurrency scene, focusing on Bitcoin, and talks about appreciation and connection while marking a milestone of his own.
