Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

Question 1: [1:18] - “What can we do to stop the spread of the disease of socialism in Venezuela? What are the best arguments against socialism when talking to uncultured people and or young children?”

Question 2: [1:25:11] - “Do you think a lot of the leftists today become activists primarily for fame and money? As a black man in university, as well as being ostracized by millennials for ‘acting white’, I feel disgusted that talking about social issues is becoming a business rather than a means of progression or an actual cause to fight for, and that people like me are becoming more undervalued by activists and the general black community. Is this the way I should be interpreting this left-wing activism, or am I letting this get to me?”

Question 3: [2:23:37] - “With online educational resources as robust as they now are, are we approaching a place where American public schooling will become effectively non-competitive, outside of social development? I grew up in the public-school system and had some great teachers and experiences, but I can see how the availability of information has incredibly shifted - Do you think public schooling going to be a waste of time for my kids in 3-5 years’ time?”

Question 1: [1:45] – “I'm a 30-year-old professional musician and my 29 year old fiancé and I would like to have children sooner than later. We live in a very lefty state, so in the interest of our future children, should we reestablish ourselves somewhere more inline with our personal values, or should we stay put and raise our children in a potentially hostile environment?”

Question 2: [21:44] - "I’m currently a female sophomore at a US public university. Back in high school, my plans for the future revolved around career. My entire focus was on becoming an engineer because I wanted to help advance technology and there are many exciting projects I wanted to work on. However, listening to your podcasts made me realize that I want to have children in the future and that seriously conflicts with my career plans. Given the choice, I already know that I would choose to take time off from work to raise children properly. But, I’m still concerned about wasting my education which is paid by my parents and the state taxpayers. What should women do when they are on a trajectory towards a career, but they want to have kids? Does college have a purpose for women who are considering motherhood? Do you think it’s a good idea for women to go to college to meet an educated man?"

Question 3: [1:07:30] – “I've heard you from time to time on your shows make offhand remarks that are dismissive of peak oil theory. What are your thoughts on peak oil?”

Question 4: [1:34:06] – “I understand the principle of how the minimum wage keeps people out of work. But listening to the speakers assessment brings up the question of if inflation goes up shouldn't something be done about wages to keep pace. If inflation is a government caused problem shouldn't the wages be adjusted? Why shouldn't the minimum wage be tied to inflation is my ultimate question. If we can't stop government from devaluation of currency shouldn't we at least tie wages too it to avoid misery?”

Question 5: [1:53:10] – “My girlfriend of 8 months recently left me. I since have felt confused and anxious. It seems to affect me more than I see it affect others. I feel spite for the woman I loved and have ill will towards her. This is a recurring theme throughout my past relationships. Why? Why is it so difficult for me to do the grown up thing and hope my ex does well and is happy?”

Question 6: [3:17:51] – “Should the public be able to participate in the ethical debate of women in combat before such policies are implemented?”

With the Inauguration of President Donald Trump, leftists have taken to the street, not in peaceful protest, but with violent confrontations and riots. Property damage, physical assaults, shootings, and more have all been done in the name of “the high road” and “love trumping hate.” Stefan Molyneux is pissed off and wants to discuss his now complicated relationship with hatred.

I had to listen to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech when I was in government schools – repeatedly, every year, it seemed. Unfortunately, I was already reading real philosophy, so I immediately pegged it for the dangerous sophistry that it was, and remains.

I know, I know, it is considered one of the crowning achievements of American oratory – but now, so many decades later, aiming at a dream seems to have landed us all in a nightmare, and perhaps we should take a little bit of time to figure out what the hell went so wrong. Here’s the first clue: Dr. King’s speech is called “I have a dream,” not “I have a plan.”

Question 1: [1:45] – “Have your experiences with libertarians completely turned you away from libertarianism as a political philosophy? I understand you have had differences with libertarians as people, however does this mean that you no longer believe in anarchism/voluntaryism?”

Question 2: [1:03:25] – “How can a woman who is trying to date a man who has gone MGTOW convert him back to normal and help him come back to the dating world? This is a person I care about very much and watching him cross into this territory is upsetting. To clarify, I don't think he knows expressly what MGTOW is, but he is following the same MGTOW patterns that you have described in your videos and is doing so for the reasons you would expect. You seem like someone who can at the very least give me idea of what to do. How can I help him climb off of this slippery slope?"

Question 3: [2:33:21] – “Stefan often says that it is a great hypocrisy of libertarian, pro-free market professors to teach in state-sponsored colleges and fund their ventures with state money. It is obviously true from truth/false point of view; however, the question remains whether it would actually be good of them to cease teaching in state colleges. If they did so immediately, the colleges and their students would lose a lot of good lectures, which, if only slightly, help fight against the leftist narratives. Moreover, the professors themselves, especially the less accomplished ones, would find themselves in a tough financial situation, sacrificing much of their personal income. Just how much merit is there in those professors staying in colleges vs. leaving them?”

Question 1 [1:56] – “According to r/K selection theory, cold winter, saving seed crops and defer gratification has made certain section of people higher in IQ. On the same lines, shouldn't people in 3rd world countries grow in IQ, because of economic winter, lack of resources, lack of freedom and other economic backwardness?”

Question 2: [28:40] – “The left has been calling everything racism from employment to immigration policies to disagreements with the president. This Chicago kidnapping situation was a milestone moment in our politics as it tested our tolerance for this silly hate crime idea that they created. Why are we so quick to play the left's game of racism and hate crime when we don't even agree with their position in the first place?"

Question 3: [1:06:39] – I don’t believe that free will exists. I have also struggled with depression, lack of motivation and a feeling of meaninglessness throughout my life, even before I realized that free will doesn’t exist. How do you think depression, lack of motivation, etc. feeds into the other? Do I somehow need to start believing in free will to feel better?“

Question 4: [2:48:25] – “I was wondering if you have any advice for the millennials who have been screwed by excessive student loan debt and a tough job market. I accept full responsibility for the fact that I went to college at 18 (on a full" academic scholarship) and chose basket-weaving majors that I found interesting, history and film, which amounted to nothing for me. I tried teaching, and had to go through another crushing debt cycle to do that, only to find out that I would rather dig ditches than be a high school teacher. For those of us feeling left out of the economy of good jobs, do you have any advice on how to get out of a crappy cycle of entry level job hell, feelings of failure, and find something both profitable and meaningful?”
