Bitcoin Versus Political Power [Remastered]
I've remastered my appearance at The Next Web Europe Conference - April 25th, 2014!
Historically, politicians have always fought for the power to create money out of thin air, so they can increase their spending without having to directly increase taxes. The staggering growth of political power throughout the twentieth century -- the century of war -- was largely made possible by replacing money limited by gold with paper currencies, which can be printed at will by government-controlled banks.
Cryptocurrencies are the first self-limiting monetary systems in the history of mankind, and could be our greatest chance to check the growth of political power since the Magna Carta. Join Stefan Molyneux, the host of Freedomain Radio - the most popular philosophy show in the world - as he reveals the hidden political and military power of government currencies, and shows how cryptocurrencies could be greatest revolution in human history, and the foundation of a truly free and prosperous planet.

Why God Allows Evil!
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux addresses the question of why an all-powerful God allows evil, focusing on the importance of free will. He uses the analogy of a chess game to illustrate that while God provides the framework, humanity makes its own choices—both good and bad. Stefan compares divine authority to parental control, suggesting that just as parents encourage independence in children, God permits freedom that includes the potential for suffering. This tension between divine intervention and human autonomy is explored, culminating in the message that evil is a necessary byproduct of the freedom essential for moral development.

EVEN MORE ANSWERS TO ‘X’ LISTENER QUESTIONS 8!
Given that Plato's Allegory of the Cave seems to still apply to modern people, is there any hope of some day having a civilization rooted in reality?
If truly sentient and self-aware and self-motivated robots come to be, would you welcome them into the world as fellow beings worthy of respect?
Can an Atheist, like an Ex-muslim be a Christian at least culturally go to church and all, even if he can't find any rational way to believe that God exists. I know, I know it's a strange Question.
If the purpose of life is, as I think it is, to become a great mate, find a great mate, create a family, and raise kids who will be great mates themselves... what does the purpose of life become for people who can't, don't, or choose not to become parents?
Would moral standards exist, or need to exist, in a post-Singularity world where anyone can have anything they want, built by robotics, AI, and insanely advanced 3D printers?
My question is basically rooted in the notion that, once we have anything we want, what are moral standards worth?
Moral standards are worth ...

I had even more viewers than Jimmy Kimmel when I was banned out of existence.
No one cared.
Most cheered.
Don't let the bastards trick you into thinking they have any principles.
Their only 'principle' is POWER.
