Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

Question: My daughter moved away a few years ago to try having a relationship with her mother and to get a fresh start. She is now a young woman and a mother of two. I have a strong desire to ride in and rescue her, however, I do not want to rob her of growth from her struggle. Can you delineate between supportive parent and parental white knighting?

Question 1: [1:40] What are the consequences of high youth unemployment and disengagement within Western countries - specifically areas like Greece - which are in the midst of a horrendous financial crisis?

Question 2: [38:09] Most European politicians want to maintain this illogical established system with influx of migrants from countries with largely incompatible culture. As a resident of Europe, is it ethical for me to leave?

Question 3: [1:06:50] I see evidence and believe that society is heading for disaster and I expect it to be inevitable. I think it would be a consequence of the decisions made by our society and that our only hope for species survival is rebuilding the fundamentals once the dust settles. So I guess my question is: Do you agree that society as a whole is heading for a collapse? And are we past a point of no return, or what can we do to change our fate?

On the heels of multiple terrorist attacks and new ISIS threats against the United States, the American people are beginning to ask questions about the intake of Syrian refugees.

Stefan Molyneux and Dr. Steven Camarota discuss the high cost of resetting middle eastern refugees in the United States, refugee welfare usage statistics, American unemployment, new jobs going entirely to immigrants and much much more!

Dr. Steven Camarota serves as the Director of Research for the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), a Washington, DC based research institute that examines the consequences of legal and illegal immigration on the United States. Find Dr. Camarota's work and research reports online at: http://cis.org

In recent years Dr. Camarota has testified before Congress more than any other non-government expert on the economic and fiscal impact of immigration.

Donald Trump's proposal to shut down Muslim immigration until the government fixes its vetting process sparked remarkable, though predictable, outrage across the globe. One of the most common criticisms is that such a ban is unconstitutional. Stefan Molyneux examines the legality of Trump's proposal and addresses other criticisms that have been hurled at the United States presidential candidate.

Question: To what extent do patterns in nature exist? Do patterns of nature exist outside the mind? Based on these patterns in nature, I propose that it's possible to control unforeseen negative experiences - like getting struck by lightning - by coordinating one's preferences to coincide with the preferences of nature. In this vein, I propose it's rational and optimal for people to meditate over crystals and getting involved in mysticism such as astrology and tarot cards, because it helps humans learn natures archetypes and natural law. Please save me from this irrationality, if that's the case!

Question 1: Is it moral to willingly contribute to an immoral system? If you start a successful business that adds value to society, a significant portion of that value will be stolen to fund all the immoral things that people in government do. Isn't it better to create as little value as possible in order to reduce their funding?

Question 2: Are OSHA and other agencies like the EPA, FDA, and USDA necessary? Do you feel that it is better to have no formal organization, and to allow the workers to sort it out by actions such as simply boycotting the company and instructing others to not engage in business with them as they do not provide safe working conditions to their employees?

Question 3: To what magnitude does deceptive language, or "double speak", affect people’s perceptions on these problems, and can we lessen the impact of "double speak" by using forms of it?

Question 4: You mention the r/K selection theory and the corresponding gene sets as a possible explanation for behaviors and preferences. Does this modify your view on free will? Ultimately, why does the free will debate matter? Either we all have it or not - or is there a notion of "gradients of freewillism" used to justify the socialist agenda by putting those endowed with the "largest free will" at the top?

The mainstream media is in a frenzy over Donald Trump's proposal to restrict Muslim immigration into the United States - and the outrage crosses party lines.

Stefan Molyneux and Bill Whittle discuss the reaction to Trumps proposal, historical precedent for restricting immigration, the goal of terrorism, the difference between various religions, the role of evolutionary differences and the ability of Donald Trump to easily expose the mainstream media.

Statement from the Trump Campaign: "Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on. According to Pew Research, among others, there is great hatred towards Americans by large segments of the Muslim population. Most recently, a poll from the Center for Security Policy released data showing "25% of those polled agreed that violence against Americans here in the United States is justified as a part of the global jihad" and 51% of those polled, "agreed that Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah." Shariah authorizes such atrocities as murder against non-believers who won't convert, beheadings and more unthinkable acts that pose great harm to Americans, especially women.

Mr. Trump stated, "Without looking at the various polling data, it is obvious to anybody the hatred is beyond comprehension. Where this hatred comes from and why we will have to determine. Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life. If I win the election for President, we are going to Make America Great Again."
