Stefan Molyneux's Welcome
00:05:34
|
|
| Well, hello there. My name is Stefan Molyneux. | |
| Thank you so much for taking the time to download and listen to this, my first podcast. | |
| Let's get some freedom in here. | |
| Let's get some freedom in here. | |
| Well, good evening, everybody. | |
| Good evening, everybody. | |
| It's Steph. Good morning, everybody. | |
| It's Christina. The roads, the roads, the roads. | |
| What is it with these people and the roads? | |
| What makes you so special? | |
| Ah, mistakes were made, but we fixed them now. | |
| I'm not going to summon the ghost of Churchill and debate with him. | |
| So Christina will be leading us through that conversation. | |
| Ha ha ha ha ha ha. | |
| She's rather surprised. Oh no, she's holding a knife. | |
| I will be leading us through that conversation. | |
| In, out, in, out, in, out. | |
| You study knowledge in order to communicate knowledge, to communicate the joy of knowledge in very high pitched tones, apparently. | |
| The world does not run on efficiency. | |
| The world runs on right and wrong. | |
| They refer me to a bunch of books that they assume I've never read. | |
| One guy referred me to Plato. | |
| Oh my god. | |
| You've got to be kidding me, right? | |
| I mean, you really fundamentally have got to be fucking kidding me with this bullshit. | |
| You are a newling houseplant. | |
| To hell with the state, to hell with God, to hell with the church, to hell with priests. | |
| It doesn't matter. It's your personal relationships. | |
| And I get it now. I get it, I get it, I get it. | |
| All I can say is, nice try. | |
| Nice try. | |
| But it didn't work. | |
| You should have respect for other people's beliefs. | |
| No! No, no, no. | |
| A thousand times no. | |
| Don't get into the hard, stony desert of philosophical truth and then want people's criteria under your tongue so you can drink. | |
| You pay your goddamn taxes! | |
| You shut up, get on your face and obey! | |
| They get it at 4 years old! | |
| Completely, utterly, totally, instinctively, deeply, and yes, my friends, rationally! | |
| Greg, Niels, Ned. | |
| They're gonna be banned? | |
| Ask a therapist and interrupt a therapist. | |
| Strap yourself in. | |
| We're going on the FDR metaphor rollercoaster, which actually goes through nine dimensions and has no secrets. | |
| We need to have lives that we design based on philosophy, not history. | |
| We need to have lives That are not reactions to the past. | |
| I have been thinking about free domain radio, a kind of ethics ex post facto. | |
| I do not need to have respect for a Christian whose sacred text tells him to kill me. | |
| I will call the principal. I will call the principal. | |
| There will be detentions for everybody. | |
| We're all atheists when it comes to Poseidon. | |
| I didn't mean that. | |
| How could you say that? | |
| I podcasted about how the government is kind of like the family, is kind of like the state, and we should change that. | |
| You are a selfish bastard who doesn't care about the poor. | |
| I am closing my mouth, I am locking it, and I am swallowing the key. | |
| Oh wait, no, my mouth is closed. Let's not worry about where I'm going to put the key, but I won't have access to it for at least four to six hours. | |
| I thought he said he was closing his mouth. | |
| I have witnesses! If you meet aggression with aggression, you get precisely nowhere. | |
| But it... and so... | |
| and I completely lost my train of thought. | |
| Of course, what Al Pacino is mostly saying to me is, more accents, more tangents. | |
| So if you haven't heard the last podcast, then I'm only slightly more incomprehensible than usual, and will consider that to be progress. | |
| Thank you so much for listening. | |
