Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

Question 1: [1:55] – “There are three types of true things which should replace True: Events, Axioms, and Necessities. From this, I have constructed a philosophical methodology for an approach to reason and evidence. Unfortunately, it hinges on being able to establish the validity of using axioms, a point which I am sure will be assailed despite it being true of every belief system.”

“There exists a poisonous idea that only things proven can be held to be unequivocally true. It completely ignores the purpose of pursuing truth, and often ruins discussions. The power of words to influence thought is very powerful, and very dangerous. We see it constantly with the left redefining everything in a manner shockingly close to 1984’s Newspeak. I believe it began with undermining the populace’s understanding of Truth, because from there flows all further knowledge and critical thinking. Or, more terrifyingly, perhaps it was never understood by the populace at all. As such, I propose fleeing the sinking ship that is the word ‘True’; it has too much baggage, too many preconceptions, and frankly is too general a term. It has become a weapon of ignorance and that’s double-plus-ungood.”

Question 2: [33:29] – My fiancée is a leftist woman living in Vancouver currently enrolled in teaching school and I am a conservative labor working man living in Ohio. I have managed to make a small break through to her delusional liberal beliefs but can’t quite manage a major breakthrough. What advice could you give those of us who are struggling to bring our loved ones out of the cave of ignorance and into the light?”

Question 3: [1:58:06] – “In our current times, I find the misinformation and corrupted definitions to be the most destructive for every society. I currently focus on the historic methods of communications. How can we reach every layer of society with the same accurate message, without altering it's content. I find it extremely difficult today, that is why I go back in time and revisit old methods. Regarding this matter, the upcoming field of discussion is ‘Old Religions and Atheism.’”

“What did we gain with Atheism and what did we lose by abandoning the Old Religions? As an Atheist, I deliver a package of statements, and I would like to get them attacked by every possible way by a very experienced rational thinking critic. I start with three ‘common places’ which are not used very often any more. These are direct translations, I really hope I did it right: 1. There is no human being without a belief. 2. Belief defines the foundations of your personality. 3. Belief drives you to go forward. Before I discard any of these statements from the table, I need them to be invalidated properly. If they cannot be invalidated, I would like to discuss them in more depth.”

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has found himself under fire for comments made during an April 11th, 2017 press briefing: “You look -- we didn't use chemical weapons in World War II. You had someone as despicable as Hitler who didn't even sink to using chemical weapons. So you have to, if you're Russia, ask yourself is this a country that you and a regime that you want to align yourself with? You have previously signed on to international agreements rightfully acknowledging that the use of chemical weapons should be out of bounds by every country. To not stand up to not only Assad, but your own word, should be troubling.”

On April 7th, 2017, Central Stockholm in Sweden saw a bloody terrorist attack at the hands of a 39-year-old from Uzbekistan. Stockholm truck attacker Rakhmat Akilov hijacked a truck and drove into a crowded area killing four people and injuring 15 others. The Swedish newspaper “Aftonbladet” reported that Akilov said he was “pleased with what he had done. … I mowed down the infidels… The bombings in Syria have to end.”

Akilov was a construction worker who originally applied for asylum in Sweden in 2014, but was refused permanent residency in June 2016. Swedish police attempted to deport the Akilov in February 2017 but found he was not at his registered address.

Question 1: [2:18] – “How can we stop corruption in academia, especially in science, and bring to light the rampant corruption amongst drug developing scientists that cost the taxpayers millions?"

Question 2: [50:00] – “In virtually every form the cost of health insurance is priced at an astronomically unreasonable markup over the expected dollar value. In many cases, having access to managed health care even produces worse outcomes. Why is the need to buy insurance accepted as gospel when the actual risk/reward of buying insurance so absurdly bad for the customer?”

Question 3: [1:08:57] – “Although the women’s march was months ago, I would like to hear Stefan's take on how it is still resonating now, through ad campaigns and consumerism. Why is it being portrayed that this is what the modern woman is? Are women like me the minority? How do anti-feminists create a loud voice in a crowd of out of control, self-entitled females?”

Question 4: [1:44:00] – “Over the past, it's obvious there has been a co-opting, distortion and abuse of what we call mysticism or religion, both in its exoteric forms (i.e. Christianity, Islam, Judaism) and in its somewhat more esoteric traditions (i.e. Yoga traditions, Buddhism, psychedelics, shamanism, Kabbalah, etc). If we denounce mysticism altogether because of its recent co-opting and inversion by largely nefarious, anti-individual forces, would that perhaps be like a woman denouncing all men because of prior bad relationships or a poor father figure or because Stalin was a man? Do you think that reason/rational and mysticism/irrational need and complete each other? Wouldn't reason without mysticism be like masturbating vs making love? With reason alone, you might get a few thrills, but ultimately, wouldn't you die alone with your dick in your hand?”

Question 5: [2:13:07] – Letter From A Single Mother

Question 6: [2:53:24] – “My family illegally emigrated from Mexico to the United States when I was 6 years old. At the age of 21 I decided to come back to my home country, ignorant as I was of its culture, after concluding I would rather be free in my third world country than live a life of shame and illegality in someone else’s. It has taken me nearly ten years to accept and start to understand the shock and far reaching consequences this transition had on my life and spirit. Far from integrating into this new culture, I recoiled from it and tried to maintain my American mindset and ideals... The issue I’m struggling with now is my newfound sympathy towards nationalist ideas, and the tricky position it puts me in. I identify as neither American nor Mexican, but the hard fact of my citizenship leads me to conclude that I should fight in the interests of my homeland against the corruption of its leaders and the larger globalist agenda.”

This week there is only one story to talk about – the Syria Chemical Attack and President Donald Trump’s military response on the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into World War I. Infuriating many of his supporters who oppose foreign wars and nation building, President Trump’s decision to launch 50+ Tomahawk cruise missiles into Syria has sparked a significant debate across the nation. Will the United States aim to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and add Syria to the list of failed nation-building military interventions? Only time will tell.

On the 100th anniversary of the United States entry into World War I, President Donald Trump targeted a Syrian air base, launching over 50 Tomahawk cruise missiles and destroying the facility. United States Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has also alluded to an international coalition forcing the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. After campaigning on a foreign policy without entangling foreign wars and nation-building, many Trump supporters feel betrayed and angry.

Did Barack Obama spy on President Donald Trump, his political campaign and his transition team? A recent bombshell report by Mike Cernovich confirms former National Security Adviser Susan Rice to be responsible for the intelligence "unmasking" of Trump officials. Will there be any legal accountability for this unethical banana republic style behavior?
