Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

President Donald Trump’s recent immigration related executive orders temporarily ban visitors from Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Sudan from entering the United States without “extreme vetting” and stop the intake refugees from these countries for at least 30 days.

Why is skepticism important? What methodology do you use to determine the difference between truth and falsehood? Dr. Michael Shermer joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss the nature of human belief, removing the intensity from the climate change discussion, the disembowelment of religion without constructing a new system of ethics, replacing god with large government, delaying gratification, the importance of impulse control, ending poverty worldwide, why determinism fails and much much more!

Dr. Michael Shermer is the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine, a monthly columnist for Scientific American and Presidential Fellow at Chapman University. He is the author of many popular books, including his most recent “Skeptic: Viewing the World with a Rational Eye.”

Introduction: [1:58] – Stefan Molyneux responds to listener feedback on “the end of arguments”

Question 1: [8:27] - The University of California at Berkeley was in flames on Wednesday after violent leftist rioters shut down the finale of Milo Yiannopoulos’s college lecture tour. Innocent supporters of President Donald Trump were assaulted, property was destroyed and free speech disgraced on the infamous site of the 1960’s student Free Speech movement.

Question 2: [1:18:03] - “As the product of teenage parents, I struggle with the fact that I've turned out "alright" but hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of children from broken homes don't share the same fate. With the statistics out there showing the wide majority of children from "broken homes" ending up in poverty, jail or worse, what makes the difference in those like myself, and is there anything one could do to assist the majority?”

Question 3: [2:07:23] - "Do you think that there are dangers in taking an apologetic or conciliatory stance toward organized religion and faith-based religious attitudes? Do you think that faith and reason can coexist peacefully if faith becomes the dominant entity in the dichotomy? What qualities do you see manifested in an individual governed by faith, as opposed to those found in a person governed by reason?"

Question 4: [2:30:30] - “As an atheist who maintains Christian values, how and when should I tell my new Christian girlfriend about my lack of faith? I met her online after indicating a religious status as ‘Christian.’ Is it possible for an atheist man who maintains Christian values to be happily married, and to have children with a Christian woman? If so, is it wise?"

Question 1: [2:06] - “Your definition of forgiveness resonated very strongly with me and made more sense than any other definition I’ve heard, but it doesn’t relieve the pain and damage that was done. It seems to only give relief to the perpetrator. How does forgiveness provide relief to the person doing the forgiving?”

Question 2: [1:01:27] - ”I am getting divorced. Years ago, I married a woman who had betrayed me once, and recently I discovered she betrayed me again. During that betrayal, I was also quite sick. I want to explore with you, and understand, why I would commit the mistake of falling in love, and then marrying, an unfaithful person and what I can do in the future to secure the loyal love and happiness I want for myself?”

Question 3: [2:43:50] - "With the recent events of the 2016 presidential election and it's results I find myself as a former Marxist completely shifted on most issues I use to have a firmer stance on. Went from a militant anarcho-communist to a principled anarcho-capitalist and now find myself leaning towards concepts of nationalism and Americanism. I do not believe in nationalized healthcare, believe in the unregulated free market and I supported Donald Trump's bid for the Presidency just to name a few, how can I engage with and still respect friends and loved ones when met with a surprising amount of hostility and hate concerning my new positions?”

Hamlet is the greatest play in world literature – listen to a trained actor and Professor of Shakespeare talk in depth about what the play means, why its power endures, and what it reveals about the deepest parts of each of us. The glory of this tragedy is how it wakes us up to death, reminds us of the power - and danger - of passion, and brings to life the potential and paralysis of our own thoughts.

Philosophy, nihilism, god, heaven, hell, revenge, love and life and death – Hamlet has it all! Dr. Duke Pesta, tenured professor, and Stefan Molyneux, trained actor, delve deep into the themes and meanings of the greatest secular story ever told.

Dr. Duke Pesta is a tenured university professor, author and the Academic Director of FreedomProject Academy, a Live Online School offering individual classes and complete curricula for students in Kindergarten through High School.

I watch Hollywood awards ceremonies where a supposed artist screams out for punching people in the face for political disagreements, and the entire horde of Botoxed brain zombies leaps to their feet in an ungodly and unholy howl of rampant bloodlust approval.

There is a storm coming, it is being summoned by the words of the vicious and ignorant, of the hateful and horrifying – it is a time-storm, it will throw us back through history – and that is if we are lucky. If we are unlucky, it will throw us back through history to prehistory, perhaps even to the history before we were here as a species.

This is the storm.
