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.

Maduro Has Been Captured!
In this Sunday Morning Live on 4 January 2026, Stefan Molyneux examines the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. Special Forces, an operation that prompts questions about sovereignty and international law. He discusses the divided reactions to the military action and draws parallels with earlier U.S. interventions.
With Venezuela as an example, he critiques the shortcomings of socialism against the outcomes of free-market systems and considers the effects on U.S. domestic politics, especially around the 2020 elections. He also touches on how culture shapes children's food preferences and looks at the difficulties for people who challenge common opinions. Along the way, he stresses the value of thoughtful discussion and backing those who speak out in public debates.

God, Philosophy and Morality!
Stefan Molyneux looks at the difficulties in getting kids to understand morality, pointing out how dense philosophical ideas and religious lessons often fall short. He takes aim at old-school punishments that don't really build a true sense of right and wrong, and instead pushes for a straightforward approach that children can pick up on naturally. He stresses the need to focus on empathy, wrapping up with a call to create straightforward ways to teach morals that let kids tap into their own sense of agency.

What we think of as basic arithmetic is Giuseppe Peano's axioms, not the universal standard of sanity. People can be sane even when they do not think that 1+1=2.
Peano Arithmetic (the "standard" answer):
To prove 1+1=2, you need roughly:
Axiom of zero: 0 is a natural number
Axiom of succession: Every natural number n has a successor S(n)
Definition of 1: 1 := S(0)
Definition of 2: 2 := S(1) = S(S(0))
Definition of addition: a + 0 = a, and a + S(b) = S(a + b)
Distinctness axioms: 0 ≠ S(n) for any n, and S(m) = S(n) → m = n
Then the proof:
1 + 1 = S(0) + S(0) = S(S(0) + 0) [by definition of addition] = S(S(0)) [by definition of addition, base case] = 2 [by definition of 2]
So ~6 axioms minimum for Peano, though this depends on how you count (some formulations bundle these differently).
But this is deceptive simplicity. Peano Arithmetic assumes:
First-order logic (with its own axioms and inference rules)
Set theory foundations (to even talk about "natural numbers" as objects)
Induction schema (infinite axiom ...

I don’t know who else might find this helpful, posting here bc the Freedomain Parents group on FB is fairly dead.
This video is a short book summary about communicating effectively with young children / toddlers and handling prickly situations, I think the strategies sound promising but have yet to try them (I’m trying to research practical peaceful parenting tips atm while reading Stef’s book):
Has anyone else heard of this book, or given these techniques a go?
