Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes on Neuroscientist JF Gariepy in an epic battle of universal virtue versus moral nihilism.Does reality exist? Does truth exist? Can we know goodness? Or are our most cherished beliefs nothing more than biological prejudice?▶️ Donate Now: http://www.freedomain.com/donate▶️ Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.fdrurl.com/newsletterYour support is essential to Freedomain, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Coronavirus Update: Dr Paul Cottrell: "Prepare NOW for 18 Months!" https://youtu.be/J6VEYzwSdZUSources: https://www.freedomain.com/2020/03/21/coronavirus-updates-with-stefan-molyneux-control/FREE BOOK: Essential Philosophy: https://www.freedomain.com/2020/03/20/essential-philosophy/"Strong coronavirus measures today should only last a few weeks, there shouldn’t be a big peak of infections afterwards, and it can all be done for a reasonable cost to society, saving millions of lives along the way. If we don’t take these measures, tens of millions will be infected, many will die, along with anybody else that requires intensive care, because the healthcare system will have collapsed.Within a week, countries around the world have gone from: “This coronavirus thing is not a big deal” to declaring the state of emergency. Yet many countries are still not doing much. Why?Every country is asking the same question: How should we respond? The answer is not obvious to them.Some countries, like France, Spain or Philippines, have since ordered heavy lockdowns. Others, like the US, UK, Switzerland or Netherlands, have dragged their feet, hesitantly venturing into social distancing measures.Here’s what we’re going to cover today, again with lots of charts, data and models with plenty of sources:What’s the current situation?What options do we have?What’s the one thing that matters now: TimeWhat does a good coronavirus strategy look like?How should we think about the economic and social impacts?When you’re done reading the article, this is what you’ll take away:Our healthcare system is already collapsing.Countries have two options: either they fight it hard now, or they will suffer a massive epidemic.If they choose the epidemic, hundreds of thousands will die. In some countries, millions.And that might not even eliminate further waves of infections.If we fight hard now, we will curb the deaths.We will relieve our healthcare system.We will prepare better.We will learn.The world has never learned as fast about anything, ever.And we need it, because we know so little about this virus.All of this will achieve something critical: Buy Us Time.If we choose to fight hard, the fight will be sudden, then gradual.We will be locked in for weeks, not months.Then, we will get more and more freedoms back.It might not be back to normal immediately.But it will be close, and eventually back to normal.And we can do all that while considering the rest of the economy too.Ok, let’s do this...▶️ Donate Now: www.freedomain.com/donate▶️ Sign Up For Our Newsletter: www.fdrurl.com/newsletterYour support is essential to Freedomain, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

In the United States, every major city in every state, NYC, SF, LA, BOS, DC, MIA, CHI, AUS, DAL, DEN, etc., is emerging as a hotspot like Wuhan, per CDC stats.Did you know the Wuhan Virus bill that passed the House with bipartisan support and likely gets signed into law actually exempts business with over 500 employers from being forced to do the things small businesses will be forced to do?I should be qualified to comment on the covid-19 pandemic. I'm a computational/system biologist working on infectious diseases and have spent five years in a world class 'pandemic response modelling' unit. In this thread, I will summarise what I believe I (don't) know.No one reacted to H1N1 this way. It was declared a pandemic 6 months before Obama did anything.The dramatic difference in which these two events have been handled make me believe this ALL about politics.The virus of course is real. The wild overreaction is not.The number of coronavirus cases worldwide has surpassed 150,000. Of those, 5,774 have died, 73,962 have recovered, and 72,698 are still sickUK to self-infect low risk population with coronavirus!

https://drdonnamarks.com/Audio: https://soundcloud.com/stefan-molyneux/addiction-dr-donna-marx-interviewedDr. Marks specializes in working with individuals who have been unable to break unwanted patterns of behavior by working through the internal obstructions that stand in the way of achieving one’s life goals. She believes that the combined methods of psychoanalysis and spirituality are a powerful method to not only heal the past and find freedom, but to also obtain meaning from all of those life events—the essential requirements for lasting change and a promising future.From her article:When writing, Exit the Maze – One Addiction, One Cause, One Cure, I discovered something so stunning, I could hardly believe my eyes.Statistics from the World Health Organization, Center for Disease Control, National Institute for Health, and others, revealed the facts I’d always suspected, but never knew for sure. For years, we’ve been hearing that the three major causes of death are heart disease, cancer, and accidents, followed by lung disease, stroke, Alzheimer’s, Diabetes, Pneumonia, Nephritis, and suicide. But, unfortunately, we’ve been hoodwinked into a big illusion, and now I’ll explain why.While it’s true that heart disease is the number one cause of death, what isn’t emphasized is the actual causes of heart disease.And poor diet, smoking, lack of physical activity, caused by ingesting excessive amounts of sugar and fast foods, and toxic substances, which causes the symptoms; clogged arteries, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc., are what cause the deadly illnesses. In other words, people are eating, drinking, smoking, and ingesting chemicals and foods to the extent that they are fueling their own heart disease without any conscious awareness!!!But let’s not stop there, let’s keep going down the list. Cancer, lung and respiratory failure, Diabetes II, stroke, kidney failure — the research is the same: food, smoking, and substances, and lack of activity are the major causes. Accidents – many due to impairment or addictive texting. Suicide: substance abusers are at the highest risk.Are you getting the picture? An addiction is anything that a person keeps doing in spite of negative consequences. Almost all illnesses are caused by a behavior that continues in spite of negative consequences (an addiction). And, ALMOST EVERYONE who is ill or dies from these top major illnesses, doesn’t even realize that addiction is what caused their deadly disease.The time has come for us to Exit the Maze of denial and embrace the freedom of truth. Blame serves no purpose, but we can join together and save lives. Now is the time for freedom and the happiness and good health that we were born to have. Take hold of the truth that is available to you and choose love instead of all the many things we’ve substituted for IT.Donna Marks believes that the current models for diagnosis, treatment, and addiction have failed.Her mission is to help save at least 10 million lives by 2030, through education and prevention. She has been an author, consultant, educator, public speaker, licensed psychotherapist, and addictions counselor in private practice in Palm Beach, Florida, for more than thirty years.▶️ Donate Now: http://www.freedomain.com/donate▶️ Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.fdrurl.com/newsletterYour support is essential to Freedomain, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Trump spoke Friday with Emmanuel Macron, the French president tweeted, about the pandemic, and agreed to organize a video conference with world leaders on Monday to coordinate research efforts on a vaccine and treatments and work on how to respond to the economic fallout.Trump is under increasing pressure to act as governors and mayors nationwide step up actions to mitigate the spread, closing schools and canceling public events. Declaring a national emergency would allow the government to marshal additional resources to combat the virus, and also marks a symbolic turning point for the president, who has repeatedly compared the coronavirus to the seasonal flu and insisted that his administration had the outbreak under control."The number of people that are infected with the new coronavirus is entirely dependent on how America responds to the outbreak, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases."If we are complacent and don't do really aggressive containment and mitigation, the number could go way up and be involved in many, many millions," Fauci told members of the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday."The community of Chinese people in Italy has grown rapidly in the past ten years. Official statistics indicate there are at least 320,794 Chinese citizens in Italy, although these figures do not account for illegal immigration, former Chinese citizens who have acquired Italian nationality or Italian-born people of Chinese descent."▶️ Donate Now: http://www.freedomain.com/donate▶️ Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.fdrurl.com/newsletterYour support is essential to Freedomain, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

I KNOW IT'S A LONG CALL, JUST WAIT UNTIL THE END THOUGH!HERE YOU GO:Hi, Stefan. I've been a daily listener for years. I never thought I'd write you about a problem, but here I am. My girlfriend is pregnant with another man's child from a month before we met. I thought the child was mine for a solid month, until yesterday.I'm deeply in love with this girl, despite the short time I've known her, and don't know what to do. I'm utterly destroyed. She's willing to try and work things out, but I just don't know if I can considering she lied to me, and I will not raise another man's child. I don't think I could love them. I've always wanted a family.If you can help, it would be much appreciated.

Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain updates you on the latest news on this radical new health threat.Is it time to panic?https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1236095180459003909.html:I think most people aren’t aware of the risk of systemic healthcare failure due to #COVID19 because they simply haven’t run the numbers yet. Let’s talk math. Let’s conservatively assume that there are 2,000 current cases in the US today, March 6th. This is about 8x the number of confirmed (lab-diagnosed) cases. We know there is substantial under-Dx due to lack of test kits; I’ll address implications later of under-/over-estimate. We can expect that we’ll continue to see a doubling of cases every 6 days (this is a typical doubling time across several epidemiological studies). Here I mean *actual* cases. Confirmed cases may appear to rise faster in the short term due to new test kit rollouts. We’re looking at about 1M US cases by the end of April, 2M by ~May 5, 4M by ~May 11, and so on. Exponentials are hard to grasp, but this is how they go. As the healthcare system begins to saturate under this case load, it will become increasingly hard to detect, track, and contain new transmission chains. In absence of extreme interventions, this likely won’t slow significantly until hitting more than 1% of susceptible population. What does a case load of this size mean for healthcare system? We’ll examine just two factors — hospital beds and masks — among many, many other things that will be impacted. The US has about 2.8 hospital beds per 1000 people. With a population of 330M, this is ~1M beds. At any given time, 65% of those beds are already occupied. That leaves about 330k beds available nationwide (perhaps a bit fewer this time of year with regular flu season, etc). Let’s trust Italy’s numbers and assume that about 10% of cases are serious enough to require hospitalization. (Keep in mind that for many patients, hospitalization lasts for *weeks* — in other words, turnover will be *very* slow as beds fill with COVID19 patients). By this estimate, by about May 8th, all open hospital beds in the US will be filled. (This says nothing, of course, about whether these beds are suitable for isolation of patients with a highly infectious virus.) If we’re wrong by a factor of two regarding the fraction of severe cases, that only changes the timeline of bed saturation by 6 days in either direction. If 20% of cases require hospitalization, we run out of beds by ~May 2nd. If only 5% of cases require it, we can make it until ~May 14th. 2.5% gets us to May 20th. This, of course, assumes that there is no uptick in demand for beds from *other* (non-COVID19) causes, which seems like a dubious assumption. As healthcare system becomes increasingly burdened, Rx shortages, etc, people w/ chronic conditions that are normally well-managed may find themselves slipping into severe states of medical distress requiring intensive care & hospitalization. But let’s ignore that for now. 12/n Alright, so that’s beds. Now masks. Feds say we have a national stockpile of 12M N95 masks and 30M surgical masks (which are not ideal, but better than nothing). There are about 18M healthcare workers in the US. Let’s assume only 6M HCW are working on any given day.
