Stefan Molyneux: 12 HOURS ON THE FRENCH REVOLUTION!
Free to donors in November!
https://www.freedomain.com/donate
In this lecture, I present a radical thesis that challenges the conventional view of history. I argue that the grand movements, ideas, and politics are not the cause of historical events. Instead, I propose that the sway between violence and reason in human conflicts is determined by our predisposition to listen to the language we already speak, shaped by our childhood experiences. I explore the tragic consequences of individuals who escape from chaos but fail to help others, leaving them to suffer.
To understand the French Revolution, we must consider childhood experiences and objective ethics. I delve into the difference between the French Revolution and the American Revolution, uncovering the dark underbelly of the French Revolution characterized by child abuse and neglect. The middle class, who could have been beacons of hope, turned a blind eye or contributed to the chaos. I discuss the influential thinkers of the time, such as Voltaire and Diderot, and their criticisms of religion and power structures.
I then focus on the contrasting perspectives of Rousseau and Locke on childhood and their impact on society. Rousseau believed that the state should have complete control over education, while Locke emphasized the importance of individual agency. I discuss their ideas on the tension between reason and emotion and the role of childhood in shaping society's acceptance of various ideas.

The Corruption of Atheists LIVE CALL IN SHOW
Wednesday Afternoon FLASH Live Chat 4 June 2025
In this episode, I engage with a caller to explore the philosophical nuances of atheism and emotional maturity. We examine the relationship between one's beliefs and maturity, considering the notion that true atheists may outgrow the need for authoritative figures. The discussion introduces the concept of "fake atheists," who seek guidance from political ideologies, blurring lines between belief and emotional dependence. As we define atheism and dissect emotional maturity's impact on morality, I propose the necessity of a rational moral framework to prevent subjective chaos. Our conversation navigates the intersections of philosophy, virtue, and personal autonomy, underscoring the importance of clarifying our understanding of morality and maturity. Ultimately, we invite further exploration into the complexities of belief systems and the ethical structures that underpin them.
