Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

Question 1: [1:40] - “Is Freudian psychoanalysis still relevant in 2018, and if so, what (if anything) can it tell us about the relationships between men, women, and children, so as to help guide civilization toward a meaningful and productive future?”Question 2: [1:12:55] - “I am a libertarian. For the past two years I have really noticed a huge shift to leftism, pc, and post modernism inside the “libertarian movement”. These left-libertarians have infected state and national parties. These same people are the ones who will smear anyone who thinks Western Civilization and American Tradition is something to be proud of and protected. Nasty people. Even when empirical evidence is provided, they completely cuck out and proceed with terrible analogies, sophistry, and insults. For example, a lot of times when asked about the European migrant crisis they say, ‘I am not living there, so I am not qualified to give an opinion’. They say that but yet, don’t live in Venezuela and know it’s a basket-case. Is that because they have deep rooted relationships with leftists that prevents them from thinking clearly? I have several examples I would like to discuss but my ultimate question is, what do we do with the libertarians? It seems it’s a 60/40 split of left libertarians vs. Hoppean/Rothbard right libertarians. Is it time to abandon the name libertarian or do we fight? I am leaning towards abandoning, but what are your thoughts?”Question 3: [2:02:06] - “I'm training and practicing in the male dominated field of general surgery. I have come under increased scrutiny for not being more of an alpha female. Ultimately, this has led to my seeming weak to my superiors. I'm struggling with accepting and moving on from the cycle I have helped create: I act womanly, therefore I'm treated like a weak-link, therefore I somewhat feel that way, leading to being less confident, then treated with less respect, and the cycle continues. This in the context that surgery as a field and including my superiors, aren't very aware of how to handle the subtle differences between men and women surgeons. Additionally, this has be partially responsible for the program asking/telling me to repeat the 3rd of 5th year of training. My question is, how do I personally and professionally overcome this? Also, as a 31-year-old married childless woman, do I balance this with the small part of me that entertains the idea of quitting and growing our family.“Question 4: [3:29:26] - “How do I peacefully prepare my child for a violent world? - Or - Am I adequately preparing my children for the world by being a peaceful parent? Being a peaceful parent has given me children who are bright, brilliant and kind...but terrified of authority and violence. My little boy is crippled by anxiety. He cries every day before school. The other children seem so unaffected. Living in Appalachia, the general consensus is that I am not doing my part to toughen him up. Do I really have to? We have been to doctors, he is in counseling, but I am afraid...what if the problem is me? (I even learned how to shoot a gun so he feels safer when his dad is not here. I never thought I would ever fire a gun.) I was so glad to find out that Stefan is a peaceful parenting advocate. So many of the advocates make it look like hippy dippy nonsense. I would truly appreciate his guidance. This is not about me, this is about my babies.”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [2:00] - “There is a scenario where a contract legitimizes initiation of force by a collective of people against an individual. Suppose I live in a condo. The members collectively decided to repair the roof. Every member by this decision is obligated to pay his share of monetary expense of the upcoming repair. I live on the first floor and decided to skip the payment: ‘Screw your roof! it is not my roof, I am not paying for your roof.’ What is a NAP-compatible course of action for the members of the condo that leads to a properly maintained roof? (a) in the situation of the rebelling member. (b) in prevention of this situation. It looks to me as if this conundrum might be used to justify taxation.”Question 2: [33:18] - “If love is our attraction to virtue, then how can we know what we are attracted to or why if we can’t even really define virtue itself? Perhaps we can seek a virtuous life by avoiding/undoing aggression and vice, but how does that help in finding a virtuous partner? I’m with a girl now that I can see has problems, but is me enjoying time with her mean I’m attracted to some inherent virtue inside her? Or am I blinded by my own problems that I am still trying to fix in myself?Question 3: [1:56:38] – “My 33-year-old sister, who never had a full-time job and has been unemployed for three years is still living with my parents. My dad is nearly 70, but he's still working 50 hours a week to support my family. My parents haven't done anything that wakes her up. How can I convince my sister that she needs to be independent?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

There has recently been a movement to suppress the names, photographs and backgrounds of mass shooters in an attempt to reduce any "fame" such individuals receive from committing murderous actions.A recent study by Jennifer Johnston and Andrew Joy titled “Mass Shootings and the Media Contagion Effect” which breaks down the impact of media coverage on future mass shootings and makes some startling conclusions. Stefan Molyneux breaks down the widely cited study, highlights significant jumps in logic, outright incorrect information and an leftist bias that is paving the way for social media censorship.

Question 1: [1:44] – “Stefan did a talk recently were he said something to the effect of: ‘Anytime there is a threat where someone is trying to edge lord over him the friendship is over.’ It seems to me all they have done is revealed ‘Their Contract' or what they need. How can you distinguish this type of behavior between the natural law of ‘if you conform to my contract I will continue to be your friend. If you deviate from this contract I will not.’ How are they different? He terminates the friendship because they have not fulfilled his contract and they terminate the friendship because he has not fulfilled there’s. Am I missing something?”Question 2: [32:14] – "What is the reason or evidence which convinces you of the existence of 'free will', and, if you were to trace a single human (just for example) decision back to its origins neurologically, what exactly *is* the thing which generates an 'axis of freedom' orthogonal-in-cause from all other known (or even unknown, but of which you'd admit to be classically constrained) types of causal interaction, and where exactly does it enter into the chain of otherwise-constrained events which we would call "deterministic"? This, I believe, and if I've modeled your worldview correctly, must be the fundamental crux of your purported difference between human cognition and the mere "data processing", with which you hand-wave away modern and future advancements in 'artificial' intelligence. If you cannot answer these simple questions with the same standard of rationality and evidence that you otherwise demand, then what is the difference between your belief in 'free will' and any other mystical belief? Lastly, if you were to entertain that 'free will' is a bogus concept, then all organic cognitive apparatus would be reduced to very sophisticated computers and removed from the unconstrained will, rather than AI being an attempt to do the opposite; In that case, how would you believe your models of awareness, meaning, and morality, would have to change to accommodate this fundamental fact?"Question 3: [1:45:55] – “I was raised in a conservative Christian home, but as an adult have rejected the faith of my parents. I have noticed that these recent years have seen many Christians embrace leftist ideals such as letting in more refugees while battling non-existent racism. Other Christians have gotten tired and disengaged from politics altogether with a ‘Lord Jesus come soon’ attitude. White Christian America is under attack, and I am angry to see it, but has Christianity not made the West vulnerable to exploitation but pushing a gospel of grace and forgiveness instead of loyalty to kin and country? As white people everywhere are asked to give more of their money and more space in their countries to second and third world immigrants and refugees, does Christianity really provide the backbone to protect ourselves from this invasion, or does it ask for too much grace to be extended to outside people groups?”Question 4: [2:33:29] – “I posit that holding on to traumas perpetrated on us is the logical consequence to the inability/unwillingness to forgive ... the need to exact reparations, revenge, perceived justice (which really cannot ever be actually or satisfactorily realized in the case of these terrible abuses) and to somehow ‘right’ the wrong will never leave us as long as we (to milk the analogy) withhold the forgiveness of the debt. It has at least been my experience that until we stop expecting to be "reimbursed" and move on, our own personal happiness (and functionality) is mightily impacted. I think it would be really interesting to work through the philosophy of forgiveness. What is your stance on forgiveness?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
