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.

How to Debate a Feminist! CALL IN SHOW
Freedomain FLASH Live Chat 1 May 2025
In this episode, I examine the intricate relationship between motivation and daily responsibilities through a caller's experience of contrasting passion for hiking with aversion to essential tasks. We discuss how childhood influences shape our current attitudes towards chores and the emotional weight tied to them. By reframing these tasks as acts of self-care, I encourage listeners to reclaim agency and separate personal values from past grievances, fostering personal growth and motivation driven from within.

NEW PREVIEW FOR SUPPORTERS - I Was a Former Social Justice Warrior! Freedomain Call In

A listener call from 2019!
In this episode, I converse with a caller about her shift from liberalism to a more skeptical conservative viewpoint. She reflects on her past beliefs shaped by social justice narratives and the emotional challenges of groupthink. We discuss her experiences in a liberal academic environment that catalyzed her reassessment of political ideologies, touching on the treatment of men in feminist discussions and media portrayals of movements like Black Lives Matter. The dialogue emphasizes the importance of exploring diverse perspectives and fostering respectful conversations in our polarized society.
