Time Text
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.
