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.

In answering this series of questions from Facebook, Stefan explores the philosophical examination of love, emphasizing its connection to recognizing virtue in romantic partners. He shares personal anecdotes from his marriage, illustrating how mutual admiration for each other's virtues strengthens their relationship. Stef argues that enduring love stems from a deep appreciation of moral character, as opposed to transient physical attraction, and discusses the role of romantic love in pair bonding and transferring moral values to future generations. He distinguishes between love as a voluntary act versus an involuntary response to virtue, cautioning against manipulative expectations in relationships. Ultimately, Molyneux advocates for love grounded in virtue, suggesting it leads to deeper and more fulfilling connections.

In this episode, I explore the complexities of human behavior related to health, focusing on obesity and personal choices. Drawing from a recent conversation, I contrast the commitment of fitness enthusiasts with societal challenges posed by unhealthy lifestyles. I discuss the emotional toll of witnessing poor choices, the need for setting boundaries to protect our well-being, and the importance of guiding children toward healthier decisions. Ultimately, I reflect on maintaining joy amid external chaos and emphasize the collective impact of individual choices on society's health.
