Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

Question 1: [2:30] - “How can charitable organizations, especially in third world countries, make a positive impact without creating dependency and negatively affecting local economies? Simply put, how do we help without hurting? I have been working with the same non-profit organization in a very poor part of a Central American country for nearly 10 years.”

“This issue has weighed heavily on my mind since I've come to understand how people respond to incentives and how toxic the welfare state can be to society, in large part due to the influence of the arguments and evidence you've presented in your show. Specifically, I'm greatly concerned about our Adopt-a-Student programs (reduced incentives to earn/work) and medical/dental clinics which compete with other local clinics using tax-free US donations.”

Question 2: [41:08] – “How do we get women to be patriotic again? Women in the West have been taught to question their instincts when it comes to real threats, and overreact to imaginary threats. I see this with the female response to the immigration crisis. The bigger problem is they don't realize the real threats, both physical and existential, that our men face.”

“With one brother in the military and another in law enforcement, I know whose lives will be on the line if things get bad, but most of my female friends seem to be fine with letting the migration of those who don't support Western values to continue unabated, while complaining about their husband not understanding how hard the morning routine is with the kids. Why do women treat strangers better than their loved ones, and how do we reignite patriotism, and a love of Western men, in women?”

Question 3: [1:22:34] - “What evidence can you use to establish the possibility of God? I'm not looking for absolute proof of God exists, as that's impossible, as with the converse - definitively establishing God does not exist. Just ideas, scientific theories, and personal observations that would fall into the ‘God is possible’ column.”

Question 4: [2:15:48] - “I'm a Venezuelan immigrant to America and many fellow Venezuelans and American media portray Trump as the American Chavez. How would you compare these two characters? How would you compare Obama and Chavez? What are the parallels between the situation in Venezuela before Chavez and Communism and the current situation in the US, and what are the differences?”

The Wall Street Journal reported that the mysterious $400 million payment to Iran was quid pro quo for the release of American hostages - which was fiercely denied by Barack Obama and the White House.

“We do not pay ransom. We didn’t here, and we won’t in the future.” - President Barack Obama

On Thursday, State Department Spokesman John Kirby confirmed that the $400 million payment was held until the prisoners were released by Iran - which flew in the face of Obama's previous "it was just a coincidence" denials. Did the United States pay Iran ransom for the release of US prisoners - or was it simply leverage? Is there even a difference?

According to a recent study from The University of Oxford and Said Business School examining the games between 1960 and today, the average inflation adjusted “sports-related costs” of the Summer Olympic games is $5.2 billion and the average cost of the Winter Olympics is $3.1 billion.

...but what is the human opportunity cost of the Olympic Games? Who profits from these athletic displays and what is the root cause of people investing their entire lives in many economically useless activities?

On Saturday at 3:30pm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, two men fled from police on foot after a routine traffic stop. Two police officers pursued the suspects and after one of the suspects presented a semi-automatic pistol to police – he was shot and killed.

The suspect was told to drop his gun, but didn’t comply, leading to the officer firing several times, hitting the man twice, once in the chest and once in the arm. The officer involved was wearing a body camera during the incident.

In mere hours after the shooting, a group of approximately 200 mostly black protestors gathered and began threatening police officers, setting local businesses on fire, attacking white bystanders and looting local shops.

Question 1: [2:12] - “Is there a difference between purpose and meaning? Eight years ago, Stefan put out a three-part series on ‘the meaning of life,’ which argued that there is no ‘meaning’ in life and that ‘meaning’ is a fake substitute for fulfillment. Today, it's hard to ignore that the nihilism associated with not having a greater ‘purpose’ than ourselves is risking the destruction of western civilization. If ‘meaning’ and ‘purpose’ are different concepts, how can we be sure we aren't confusing the two?”

Question 2: [31:47] - “I believe the hostility of this years election cycle, the BLM inspired killing of police, the Islamic terror attacks in Europe, has greatly disturbed some of my personal training clients. Some are elderly and I am the only person they socialize with regularly. Some seem to be giving up on staying healthy because ‘America seems to be going to hell!’ Even though we as a nation have greatly improved the efficacy of health care, quality of life and length of lifespan. We seem to have become horribly regressive with all the SJW group think that infects our Media, politics and academia.”

“Many of my older clients are consuming and believing this regressive mainstream media and I find it harder and harder to counter the narrative with facts. I can't help the suspicion that the mainstream media is deliberately creating a nihilistic view of life for many Americans. Particularly those of European dissent. I try to help my clients cope with diet and exercise, even martial arts and meditation but the trend continues. It seems to be accelerating!”

“Is this purely psychological or does this point to something dysgenic in our DNA? Considering European/American folks collective history as bold explorer's, innovators and artists, who have filled the world with amazing beauty it would hardly seem credible that nihilism and hard-headed altruism is endemic in our people after only a couple of generations. Is this genetic? If so, how can it be countered? If it is not genetic, are there outside forces at work?”

Question 3: [1:27:02] - “Having been violently jolted awake by the embarrassing display that is modern politics I have come to the conclusion that there is no truth in this world; the complete dismantling of the black American identity by charlatans and charming tyrants, the inexplicable rise of multiculturalism and the countless other forms of false altruism constantly bearing down upon us, rob me both of my sleep at night and any confidence I have in the things I've been taught.”

“I think about the implications they hold with regards to human weakness and the ancient thirst for power and control. The question I have for you, Stefan, is, what is the method you utilize to determine what is real and true vs mere ancient and streamlined propaganda? How do you assess what is true from what is bullshit? How do you know who to trust?”

Black crime and violence against whites, gays, women, seniors, young people and many others is drastically out of proportion. It won't quit. Neither will the excuses. Or the denials. Or the black on white hostility. Or those who encourage it. Colin Flaherty joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss the unspoken truth about black on white crime and the lengths the mainstream media goes to hide it while perpetuating the black victimhood narrative.

Colin Flaherty is an award winning writer whose work has been published in more than 1000 places around the globe, including the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, Miami Herald, Washington Post, Bloomberg Business Week, Time magazine, and others.

Flaherty is the author of “Don't Make the Black Kids Angry: The hoax of black victimization and those who enable it” and “White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It.”
