Freedomain Call In Show 10 Jul 2020: THE MIND/BODY SPLIT!
Questions/Topics:
Q1:
What is next for Freedomain now that you have been deplatformed?
Q2: 0:02
who called it better, George Orwell or Ayn Rand, and why?
Q3: 0:37
What are Stef's thoughts on an ancap society forming online as crypto currency and work/school from home are becoming more popular?
Follow-on: Does Stef think 'the powers the be' (Government, bankers, etc) would stop something like this? Would they let people 'out of the system?'
Q4: 0:56
What are Stef’s thoughts on Carl Rogers? Was Rogers influential in anyway to him?
Q5: 1:16 or so
What advice do you have for staying sane in these crazy times? Your comments on the “start stop” of the economy and society wearing down on people prompted this question. I definitely feel that weariness and disorientation and was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to relieve those feelings, what kinds of relationships and activities would be good to try since COVID-fied society isn’t really avoidable.
Q6: 1:33 or so
The other day I logged on to a social media site for the first time in close to a decade. I noticed very quickly that many people I grew up with were rabidly posting leftist propaganda. I then looked through over a hundred profiles of people I've known over the years. It was the same. This is particularly startling because I live in a low population region in the western US. Is the time for talk over? Is the end of western civilization near? Should I be fleeing to Poland or something? I do not wish for my kids to experience war.
Q7: 1:47
I recall how Stef mentioned he was scared of a Great Dane as a kid from the last call in. What made him like dogs again and what's his favorite breed/mix?

Religion Solves Morality?
Stefan Molyneux takes on the notion that true ethics must come straight from God's orders, pointing out how morals drawn from holy books end up being pretty subjective, with people interpreting them in all sorts of ways. He responds to someone's worry about what happens without divine rules by noting that, unlike hard science, religious morals don't hold up the same across the board. Drawing from Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, he shows how followers disagree on basics like forgiveness or following divine laws. Molyneux digs into the past tensions between these religions and the mixed messages in their ethical advice, which makes him doubt whether divine say-so really settles right and wrong. He pushes people to think about their own biases in judging morals and cautions against leaning on religious teachings to back up decisions, suggesting instead a closer look at one's own sense of ethics.

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.
