On Tuesday, Germanwings Flight 9525 crashed into the French Alps, killing all 150 people on board. The 27-year-old German co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz - locked the captain out of the cockpit, ignored desperate pleas to open the cockpit door and deliberately glided the plane straight into the mountains.

In the days following this tragic mass murder, details have emerged about Lubitz being treated for psychological issues, having vision problems, undergoing a recent relationship break up and being told he was too ill to work by doctors - which he then failed to disclose to his employer. Lubitz also had told a previous girlfriend that he was planning an act so horrifying that his name would be remembered forever.

A search of his apartment found anti-depressants - which are known to have blurred vision as a side effect. Stefan Molyneux, host of Freedomain Radio, takes a look at this tragic situation and discusses an important conversation that needs to happen.

President Barack Obama has created a political firestorm by floating the idea of mandatory or compulsory voting. "If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country," Obama said, calling it "potentially transformative." Not only that, Obama said, but universal voting would "counteract money more than anything." Stefan Molyneux has some thoughts on the subject, mandatory voting? Thanks Obama!

I have a wonderful fiancée, but have recently come down with a crippling inferiority complex in light of her recent career success. I want to be supportive, but it’s tearing me to pieces inside and it makes me feel useless as a man. How can I simply accept the circumstances and see us as a team? How would a free society defend against an invading statist army? Do you think it will be beneficial for atheists to impersonate the best qualities of religion? Should atheists organize into churches, create holiday - and create their own traditions for marriage, funerals, and coming of age ceremonies?

Lately there has been a huge discussion about vaccines in the United States. This isn’t a question about whether vaccines are safe or not - but as a philosopher, what are your thoughts on the mandatory requirements for anything - whether they be vaccinations, wearing of purple hats or college application fees?

A rant-tacular show! Questions discussed include: Referencing the Matrix - do you believe that some people are just not ready for the red pill? I’ve given my two weeks’ notice at my job of fifteen years and am starting to panic - why do I feel so scared? Is the cultural focus on ‘beauty’ abusive towards women? I’m a public school teacher - how can I assist children who are being bullied and best help my students?

After several requests, Stefan Molyneux describes his experience playing Dungeons and Dragons.

An in-depth discussion of the ‘An Atheist Apologizes to Christians’ show with thoughts and criticisms from a listener - including a callback to John Goodman’s powerful line from the movie Barton Fink: Because You Don’t Listen! Also included: Whose responsibility is it – the employers, employees or the recruiters - to find out whether or not the candidate is a good personality match for the team? How important is this personality factor in having a successful business?
