I've encountered a problem with the History of Philosophers series. Namely, the installment on Thomas Aquinas has some good biography, but the philosophy is surprisingly misrepresented. I fully appreciate this is an easy thing for a modern reader to fall into, and normally I find Stefan's rapidity at finding a level of magnification that shows the fatal flaw greatly illuminating, but in this instance it really does fall short—and to such a degree I think it bears revision for the integrity of this immortal series! If there is to be a quick and humiliating beat-down of this saint, I should like to see it happen in the proper arena, at the appointed time, and per all league regulations. To that end, I've done my best to exhibit in the attached document (regrettably it's screenshots; locals doesn't support pdf. I'll put a temporary link to one in the comments.) the five proofs in such a way as doesn't skip too much essential context and hopefully is still digestible to persons of the current century. It aims to show why the short passage is not to be studied in isolation and especially to clarify why those questions most of us have by the time we're five years old simply don't address the arguments on that page of the Summa. I've also appended a tiny report on Aquinas' famous teleological system of ethics. Whether this was dismissed as just religion or skipped entirely for some other reason, I don't know, but some mention at this point in the series of the still today world-shaping force that is natural law seems to me fairly pertinent to the project of freedomain. So there's a good (re)start, maybe.
Who wants a rematch then? I think it'd be great to hear any of this presented as only Stef can. I'm sure he knows all of it. Sometimes things just don't quite click from a confusing perspective.

DON'T JUSTIFY A DAMN THING!
Stefan Molyneux explores the complexities of anarcho-capitalism through the lens of risk tolerance within society. He discusses the moral dilemmas of personal autonomy versus the potential recklessness of individuals with low risk tolerance, highlighting the problems posed by coercive political systems. He argues that a variety of risk attitudes is essential for societal balance and innovation, while cautioning against empowering those with extreme risk sensitivities to impose overregulation. He critiques government interventions driven by fear, advocating for market solutions and voluntary interactions. The lecture also touches on emotional health, the significance of healthy boundaries in relationships, and the issue of censorship in digital platforms, ultimately promoting a society based on cooperation rather than coercion.
