=== Stefan Molyneux's Welcome (05:34) ===

[00:00:00]  Well, hello there. My name is Stefan Molyneux.
[00:00:02]  Thank you so much for taking the time to download and listen to this, my first podcast.
[00:00:06]  Let's get some freedom in here.
[00:00:07]  Let's get some freedom in here.
[00:00:11]  Well, good evening, everybody.
[00:00:14]  Good evening, everybody.
[00:00:16]  It's Steph. Good morning, everybody.
[00:00:18]  It's Christina. The roads, the roads, the roads.
[00:00:22]  What is it with these people and the roads?
[00:00:26]  What makes you so special?
[00:00:30]  Ah, mistakes were made, but we fixed them now.
[00:00:36]  I'm not going to summon the ghost of Churchill and debate with him.
[00:00:38]  So Christina will be leading us through that conversation.
[00:00:48]  Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
[00:00:50]  She's rather surprised. Oh no, she's holding a knife.
[00:00:52]  I will be leading us through that conversation.
[00:00:54]  In, out, in, out, in, out.
[00:01:05]  You study knowledge in order to communicate knowledge, to communicate the joy of knowledge in very high pitched tones, apparently.
[00:01:16]  The world does not run on efficiency.
[00:01:21]  The world runs on right and wrong.
[00:01:25]  They refer me to a bunch of books that they assume I've never read.
[00:01:29]  One guy referred me to Plato.
[00:01:35]  Oh my god.
[00:01:40]  You've got to be kidding me, right?
[00:01:42]  I mean, you really fundamentally have got to be fucking kidding me with this bullshit.
[00:01:50]  You are a newling houseplant.
[00:01:56]  To hell with the state, to hell with God, to hell with the church, to hell with priests.
[00:02:00]  It doesn't matter. It's your personal relationships.
[00:02:04]  And I get it now. I get it, I get it, I get it.
[00:02:10]  All I can say is, nice try.
[00:02:14]  Nice try.
[00:02:16]  But it didn't work.
[00:02:20]  You should have respect for other people's beliefs.
[00:02:28]  No! No, no, no.
[00:02:31]  A thousand times no.
[00:02:34]  Don't get into the hard, stony desert of philosophical truth and then want people's criteria under your tongue so you can drink.
[00:02:43]  You pay your goddamn taxes!
[00:02:47]  You shut up, get on your face and obey!
[00:02:51]  They get it at 4 years old!
[00:03:05]  Completely, utterly, totally, instinctively, deeply, and yes, my friends, rationally!
[00:03:16]  Greg, Niels, Ned.
[00:03:19]  They're gonna be banned?
[00:03:21]  Ask a therapist and interrupt a therapist.
[00:03:25]  Strap yourself in.
[00:03:26]  We're going on the FDR metaphor rollercoaster, which actually goes through nine dimensions and has no secrets.
[00:03:33]  We need to have lives that we design based on philosophy, not history.
[00:03:40]  We need to have lives That are not reactions to the past.
[00:03:49]  I have been thinking about free domain radio, a kind of ethics ex post facto.
[00:04:01]  I do not need to have respect for a Christian whose sacred text tells him to kill me.
[00:04:07]  I will call the principal. I will call the principal.
[00:04:10]  There will be detentions for everybody.
[00:04:12]  We're all atheists when it comes to Poseidon.
[00:04:17]  I didn't mean that.
[00:04:20]  How could you say that?
[00:04:22]  I podcasted about how the government is kind of like the family, is kind of like the state, and we should change that.
[00:04:30]  You are a selfish bastard who doesn't care about the poor.
[00:04:36]  I am closing my mouth, I am locking it, and I am swallowing the key.
[00:04:39]  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.
[00:04:44]  I thought he said he was closing his mouth.
[00:04:47]  I have witnesses! If you meet aggression with aggression, you get precisely nowhere.
[00:04:59]  But it... and so...
[00:05:00]  and I completely lost my train of thought.
[00:05:05]  Of course, what Al Pacino is mostly saying to me is, more accents, more tangents.
[00:05:10]  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.
[00:05:21]  Thank you so much for listening.
