    6540 Ayn Rand: Speed Freak? Listener Questions

    The episode reflects on Ayn Rand as a major moral novelist whose work defended freedom, integrity, and free markets, while also noting the speaker’s criticism that her ethical and political philosophy remained incomplete. It discusses Rand’s public reception, her personal relationships, and the claim that her affair with Nathaniel Branden damaged both her life and her movement. The conversation also turns to Western culture, with an argument that Greek universalism and Christian mysticism make it difficult to accept real differences in human abilities and outcomes. It closes with practical comments on dating apps and marriage, and with criticism of false claims in the Lindsay Clancy discussion, which he says weaken trust and make relationships harder.

    6539 I Drink a Litre of Vodka A DAY!

    Philosopher Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller who drinks a litre of vodka a day just to function. He presses him on the drinking, the cheating, and the damage to his girlfriend, and tells him to get medical help and step away from the relationship. Email: I want to call about my alcoholism and maybe try to find a way out. Been listening to Stef for about 10 years. I've been drinking about 1 liter of Vodka daily for about 4-5 years. I know everything that is bad about and know that I'm drinking literal poison. I score 4 on the ACE test, that's regarding losing my father through divorce, living with an uncle who was an alcoholic as well, swearing-putting down and mild spanking towards me.

    6538 Does Brain Equal MIND? Listener Questions

    Philosopher Stefan Molyneux argues the mind comes from the brain and ends when the brain ends, and that not knowing how it works is no reason to invent souls or magic. He also takes listener questions on trauma, blank slate ideas, equality, religion and why philosophy should help real life. Intro to Philosophy series: https://freedomain.com/playlist/intro-to-philosophy/ ABCs of UPB: https://fdpodcasts.com/562/universally-preferable-behavior-for-children Questions: I hear you offer therapy and perhaps healing for my wounds? Is a mind an emergent property of the brain? If it is emergent, does that imply the mind ceases to exist once the brain ceases to be? (I would assume yes but I am curious about your thoughts on this). People of color have ancestral land rights in America, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Philippines etc. There is no White race that has any ancestral land rights. Did all White people just fall down from the Sky? You not only have a high quality philosophy show, but you also have give high quality insights into psychology. Have you considered doing some more psychology episodes? It’d be extremely helpful Stef, i very much enjoyed your intro to philosophy series. I have noticed discussing these topics with people educated in philosophy that they're more like philosophy historians - Kant said this, Plato said that, etc without a real grasp of how any of it applies to life or makes any sense. Have you noticed the same and how do you address it if so? People have been conditioned to accept the premise of voting & always of voting for a "lesser of two evils, inferring that not only is evil necessary but acceptable. How would you structurally dismantle such mass mind conditioning & apathy? what are your thoughts of the resurrection or view of it as historical paradigm shift You talk about bloodline a lot. How about the facts like genetic ghosts? Are all people equal? Have you been un-cancelled ? What are your thoughts on the afterlife ? Will you ever sell physical instead of digital copies of (all) your books offered on your freedomain website? why are humans sentient but not dolphins? How can I teach UPB to my 3 year old? If it is in one of your books I am happy if you just point me to it. Why do people play team based video games & sports to not work as a TEAM?! Blows my mind that i work hard to look out for teammates but they dont. They will quit in sports when we are losing, or only plug their mics in to insult our team in gaming 😠😤 When a fighter jet flies and then turns upside down, why doesn’t it start rapidly descending if the lift is supposedly inverted?
