00:00Hey, everybody, Stefan Molyneux from Freedom Aid. Hope you're doing well. So an interesting
00:06little phenomenon, I guess, kicked up over on Twitter slash X, and it just seems to keep
00:13on cooking. So I thought I would talk about it. This is a fellow, Ryan Harkness, who posted
00:18a pretty small account. He posted something, what is it, a couple of days ago, yesterday,
00:25a couple of days ago. He posted, whatever happened to Stefan Molyneux? I thought he
00:30was pretty innocuous, and they nuked that guy out of the galaxy. And it is now at 3.6 million
00:38views, 12,000 likes, and all of that. So very, very interesting. Very interesting.
00:49And people are posting little bits about here and there. And somebody said,
00:57he has survived on Rumble barely. What they did to him they can do to us all,
01:01and we know it, and that is why so many are silent. And somebody else says, he was not
01:07innocuous. Well, I'd like to humbly agree with that assessment. They say, he's on Rumble getting
01:151,000 views. Now, I do occasionally feel a little twinge and a sting about the low number
01:23of views. I remember back in the day on YouTube, anything less than 100,000 was considered a
01:28massive failure by myself and Mike. But on the other hand, it's the old question, sort of the
01:36way that I, I say reframe it, but I think it's an accurate view, that what I do is I say,
01:42would you rather teach the Intro to Philosophy course with 1,000 students, of whom only,
01:53say, 20 are going to go on to really, really study philosophy over the course of a lifetime,
01:58or would you rather teach a postgraduate course with those 20 people who are really
02:04going to study philosophy for a lifetime, right? So I view my career as I started with the Intro
02:11to Philosophy, and I have graduated to the postgraduate school where I deal with people
02:20who are really, really, really interested in philosophy. So he's just one website over,
02:27homie. Yes, yes, yes. Somebody wrote, yes, this makes me sad. He was obviously soft-hearted,
02:34if you listened enough, just hard-shelled where and when he had to be. I learned a lot from this
02:38gentleman. That's very nice. Thank you. Somebody wrote, he was, and likely still is, an online
02:46cult leader. Ah, yes, the cult of speak your mind, be honest with people in your relationships. You
02:52don't have to deal with relentless abusers, and you should go to therapy, and here's the reason
02:57and evidence and sources behind, and I never tell people what to do and never take anyone's money,
03:04except for donations, and give away my books for free. Yes, absolutely.
03:08But, you know, so people just have these words that they use to ward off thought, right? Thought
03:14is a demon to the false self, right? Because the false self relies on prejudice and programming
03:20masquerading as virtue. It is a kind of demonic possession of language to displace thought,
03:27like language displacing thought creates a false self of aggressive conclusions,
03:31which can't be questioned. And so people are given these words to ward off thought,
03:37like the demon will keep the priest out of the house, right? And so, you know, cults,
03:42racist, misogynistic, whatever it is, right? Phobic, this, that, and the other.
03:47And so people, it's interesting, I see these words, and I'm like, okay, so the demon of hatred,
03:55the demon of propaganda, the demon of pretend virtue has taken this person and is using these
04:07charged words to ward off any potential thought that might unseat the demon. I completely
04:13understand it. You know, squatters move into a house called the soul, they don't want to
04:17get kicked out. And the thing that kicks out these demons is thought. And so when I see these words,
04:24I just see the defenses of a kind of, it's an analogy, right? But the defenses of the demon
04:29of false morality, trying to keep the priest of reason away. All right. Somebody wrote,
04:35he told Taylor Swift to have babies before she got older. They took him in the night.
04:41That is hilarious. I have to say that again. Took him in the night. I mean, it's a chilling
04:48reference to the Gulag Archipelago by Sargent Eaton, but he told Taylor Swift to have babies
04:53before she got older. They took him in the night. That is very funny. That is very funny.
05:04All right. The race realism got him. Also, they were nuking all Trump supporters back then. I
05:09mean, I wasn't exactly a Trump supporter, but I did support the truth, of course.
05:16Let's see here. Deplatformed more than most, but still putting out content. And then there's the
05:21reference to my show, The Truth About the French Revolution, which if you donate at
05:24freedemand.com slash donate, you get a copy of that for free for the next week.
05:29Somebody says, no shit. I used to watch him all the time before the censorship
05:33industrial complex went into overdrive in 2020. Yeah.
05:42And that's interesting, right? What's been a really, really fascinating journey,
05:46which I, overall, I find positive. I enjoy my life more now than I did in the past. And a lot
05:53of that has to do with the fact that I realized, you know, and it's when you're bestriding the
05:58world like a colossus in a sense, and you're, you know, one of the biggest alt media influences,
06:03stars, whatever you want to call it, you feel that you're engaging with an audience that,
06:10you know, cares about you. But then it's like, oh, has he gone from this platform? He's one
06:14website over. I can't be bothered. That's very humbling, which I always enjoy being humbled
06:20because reality is important and vanity is the enemy of progress. And so realizing how little
06:32I meant to people, how little philosophy meant to people that they couldn't go one website over or
06:36wouldn't be bothered to go one website over was, you know, absolutely fantastic.
06:44Humbling, of course, right? But humbling is good. It's good for the soul. It's good for the soul.
06:51And I sort of felt like I was some guy who went to rescue some damsel in distress and, you know,
07:01swam seas and climbed mountains and battled tigers and finally got to the damsel in distress,
07:05who told me to go F myself. She's happy where she is. So that's good.
07:13The Molyneux's playlist on YouTube with all of his IQ related expert interviews
07:16was some of the best insight into the topic available to the public. Oh, yes.
07:23I've been wondering the same thing. I lost him in. He moved to Rumble before it was cool. He's
07:29still there. The most censored person on the planet, possibly exception, possible exception
07:37is Alex Jones, brilliant philosopher and great entertainer also. It's funny, you know, maybe this
07:43is still a bit of vanity, but in some ways I take equal pleasure in both being a brilliant philosopher
07:52and a great entertainer. So. All right. So why isn't that back on X? Well, I am. I have been.
08:01I have been resurrected on X. I have access to my platform. But to me, the analogy would be
08:08that you put a lot of time into a relationship with a woman. You put several years into a
08:14relationship with a woman and you have these rules with her, right? Like we don't yell,
08:18we don't hit, we don't scream, we don't call names, we talk each other out reasonably and
08:22so on. And it's mostly OK for, you know, say five years. And then she goes completely mental,
08:29drains your bank account and sets fire to your car, trashes your house and disappears into the
08:36wind. And then a couple of years later, you get a message from her with no context saying,
08:43fine, I'll take you back. And it's like, I think we're going to need a little bit
08:50more of a conversation than that. Right. Let's see here. He was effective. Interesting.
09:00He was canceled only because he told women over 30 they were unlikely to have children
09:05or more unlikely to mate. I don't remember saying that. Again, I mean, who knows, right? I've said
09:14a lot of things over the last 18 years. I don't think that's certainly not what I believe. What
09:19I believe is that for a woman over 30, I always get that Harry Belafonte, Matilda, Matilda,
09:26Matilda, she take me money and run to Venezuela. Women over 30, women over 40, he does that in
09:32concert, which is kind of funny, but then nobody sings. $500 friends I lost betting it on the
09:41captain's horse. Don't you know that Matilda, she take me money and run to Venezuela. It's a great
09:46song. I mean, that's like, that's the only verses you just keep doing that until you die. But I
09:53think what I would have said here is something because I'm a free will guy. So I wouldn't say
09:58that it's impossible what I would say or unlikely. I would say that a woman who's over 30, who's
10:07single is going to have to change her methodology for choosing mates because she was not able to
10:15secure a husband when she was in her peak attractiveness. And therefore, she's going to
10:22have to adjust her expectations. She's going to have to change her selection metric.
10:28All right.
10:33He started to notice a bit too much. Guy was a bit of a stick in the mud sometimes. Don't
10:37get me wrong. I enjoyed his content, but it almost felt cult-like too. A bit of a stick
10:43in the mud sometimes. I actually think that's a very honest and fair assessment. I'm fine.
10:48I'm fine with that. Well, not that it matters what I'm fine with or not, but
10:53people say the history of your enslavement is actually the story of your enslavement.
10:58He literally moved one website over. He's on Locals Rumble and his own website,
11:04Free Domain. People didn't want to get off YouTube, even though they actually learned
11:08how evil Google is, as if they didn't know already. So that's nice.
11:19Now that song's stuck in my head.
11:21Bring him back. I can't listen to that. Bring it back. Without the battle of nevermore,
11:26battle of nevermore. He still does some stuff. He was threatened and removed himself from
11:31politics for the well-being of his family. Based, but also cringe. Based, but also cringe.
11:39You know what? I would actually agree with that assessment, too. He was awesome. Dropped facts.
11:46I remember he had a meltdown or something. I do think he should be let back on. I support
11:52free speech. So that's interesting, right? There's a couple of responses. He was great.
11:58He was racist. He was a cult leader. And he went crazy is another one that people... He had a
12:05meltdown. He went crazy. He lost it. He went off the deep end. He lost it. He lost it. He lost it.
12:11He had a meltdown. He went crazy. He lost it. He went off the deep end. He lost the plot.
12:16He wandered off into crazy town and so on. And he went mad is another magic word that the demon of
12:24the false self uses to retain its control over the remnants of the personality. He was great.
12:31Good question. Much of my transition to libertarianism and philosophy was due to him.
12:36I miss him. He was in it for the money. Ah, yes. The guy who took a massive pay cut
12:45from a very successful board level software executive career.
12:53Yes, yes. Just all about the money. No question. No question.
12:58Let's see here. Miss that guy. He was a bit over the top sometimes, but overall just great.
13:09That's also very accurate. A bit over the top sometimes. Absolutely. I make up for my lack
13:17of hair by not having much over the top, by being a bit over the top personality-wise.
13:21I think he went to hiding after humiliating himself. Right. So that also he went crazy.
13:31The other one is, you know, he viciously attacked a listener for donating a dollar.
13:35That's another fine one. Again, these are just magic spells to ward off thought and curiosity.
13:40The other one, of course, which I can still see floating around from time to time. Again,
13:44not that I'm Googling myself or anything, but I saw it floating around here is that
13:49he forgot to switch from his alt account before posting as a teenage girl and so on.
13:55And that wasn't true. I mean, I posted a comment on YouTube on Google+, which was an old Google
14:04platform. I think it was there too many years ago, but I think it was there to replace Facebook or
14:08Twitter. And so I reposted a woman's comment from YouTube on Google+, and then it reposted it under
14:14that video under my Google+, account, but you could still see the original comment. So that was
14:20just, you know, that I switched to alt accounts to comment on my own videos as teenage girls. I
14:24mean, it's pretty funny. It never would have crossed my mind. I've certainly never posted
14:28for myself on alt accounts, but that's kind of funny. Right. He decided not to fight back. He
14:33had opportunities on other platforms and he turned it down. I'm not sure what that means. I'm also
14:38not sure what it means to say he decided not to fight back. Let's see here. This man does not
14:47deserve your admiration, pity, or time. It boggles my mind that anyone would defend him today,
14:53but it is a testament to what skillful online BSing can accomplish.
14:57I always wonder, I suppose, why people are so bothered by what I do, because when someone
15:09bothers, like when what someone does, I consider just, you know, false and bad and wrong.
15:16I just don't watch them. I don't think about them. I just disconnect from that kind of thing. So
15:22if you are still hating someone, what is it, been over four years since my de-platforming,
15:28if you're still hating someone to the point where you've got this amount of emotional energy,
15:40that would be a good opportunity for self-knowledge. Like, why do I care?
15:43And telling other people what they should feel is kind of dictatorial, which I guess is why
15:53he's this way, right? He has a free domain community on the Locals app. That's amazing.
15:59He is going from strength to strength with his content and insights. Well, thank you. I
16:02appreciate that. He just put out perhaps his most important book, Peaceful Parenting,
16:07The Morality, Psychology, and Science of Ethical Child Raising. Ah, yes, the RK selection type
16:15theory, right? People act like Steph doesn't exist anymore. He's just on a different website,
16:22and he's still doing, producing incredible work. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
16:26He was good. What was it? I think Andrew Wilson talked about me on his podcast, like I
16:31dead or been gone to the back rooms or despawned or something like that.
16:35I agree with you, actually, but there was something creepy about that dude. Don't know.
16:41Why isn't he on X, actually? Creepy is another one of these words that is just
16:47ward off the demon, ward off the priest of thought. So the demon of
16:52anti-rationality can retain its dominion. He did an amazing breakdown of Elliot Rogers. I think so.
17:00He was an asshole. One of the original, every problem is women's fault somehow guys,
17:05but his canceling was a portent of something awful now maturing.
17:12Every problem is women's fault somehow.
17:19Again, it's a caricature and so on, right? So some people
17:24cast these ward off the priest of thought on themselves, and some people go into the public
17:36space to give other people the language that they need to keep the priest of reason at bay.
17:42Let's see here.
17:53In 2016, I concluded Molyneux was controlled opposition,
17:57which was a few months after I concluded that Alex Jones was controlled opposition.
18:05Controlled opposition, I think that means that I'm secretly in league with sinister forces,
18:11but I'm presenting myself as an opposer of the powers that be while taking money behind my back
18:20from them or something like that. So, I mean, that which is asserted without evidence can
18:27be dismissed without evidence. All right. Yes, he touched a couple of third rails and he was
18:34digitally assassinated like Milo and so many others who've never recovered like Alex Jones has.
18:39It takes a lot of guts, time, and energy to overcome that kind of attack.
18:43He's still out there, but he's being severely shadow banned.
18:49Stéphane was considered at one time the most popular philosopher online,
18:52but he's exposed some inconvenient truths. It's kind of the job, right? It's kind of the gig, right?
18:57Let's see here.
19:11This is interesting. Stéphane Molyneux's story is representative of the transformation of the
19:15US right over the past 10 to 12 years. Honestly, I've never considered myself right wing or left
19:20wing, conservative or liberal. I'm just after the truth no matter where it leads.
19:26After the 2010 election, dissident right commentators began emerging aided by social
19:31media. There was an enormous variety of ideas being shared. Everything from Mencius mold bug to
19:38NRX, HBD, I think that's human biodiversity, to alt-right and the alt-light of Molyneux.
19:45It was a fertile intellectual atmosphere, especially in a handful of cities like New York
19:49City. All right. I don't know anything about this. I don't know what human biodiversity is. I don't
19:54know mold bug and I don't know who NRX is. Sorry. This culture of a fertile right dissident culture
20:01intensified after the 2012 election and reached its peak with the election of Trump in 16. What
20:06happened after that is tragic. This culture was destroyed by legal, political and economic
20:11pressure by detractors from both left and mainstream quote right. The election of Trump
20:15caught many establishment figures on the quote right by surprise. They couldn't allow him to
20:20succeed and they correctly identified the new right that had sprung up in their midst as one of
20:26his key supports. They did what they could to break it up. Again, I mean, I'm just after the
20:31truth. I'm just very, very interested in the truth. If people lie about Obama, I will talk
20:37about that. If people lie about Trump, I will talk about that and so on, right? I mean, people said,
20:43and I remember defending Obama on this point, that people said that Obama said, well, you didn't build
20:47that and that's not what he said. So, all right. Narcissism is a hard beast to scare. He has one
20:55project, however, I endorse that is about better parenting. However, he likes to claim that before
21:00him, nobody ever did such work or at least of his magnitude, completely ignoring Piaget, for instance,
21:07is off-putting though. Well, what I have talked about is, to my knowledge, and I did look for this,
21:15but it doesn't mean I combed every corner of the galaxy, but I did look for a philosophical analysis
21:28of the ethics of the parent-child relationship by any major philosopher. Piaget was not a philosopher.
21:35Piaget, of course, he used his own children as subjects and did a lot of work in early childhood
21:39and childhood development, which is great and admirable. And I remember when Piaget died,
21:44his kids, who are now, of course, fully grown, came to his funeral and there were a lot of
21:48psychologists there who meeting his children after they'd studied his children so extensively
21:53through Piaget's work when they were little, I found it quite odd to meet the people that he'd
21:58written about so extensively. So, of course, I'm not saying that nobody studied childhood and
22:02nobody's advocated to be nicer to children, but as far as a moral, rational, and particularly
22:09scientific examination of the causes and effects and ethics of child abuse, nope. So, again, I'm
22:15happy to be corrected on that, but he was an obvious social engineer, incredibly boring and
22:22pretentious as hell. Well, boring, I can't agree with. Pretentious? I don't know. I mean, again,
22:30these are just words to ward off. See, the demons of the false self that inhabit most of the
22:38population communicate with each other and are trying to ward other people off from the priests
22:41of reason. So, this isn't a boring and pretentious as hell, right? Why does it bother you what I do?
22:47Just one dollar, please. Let's see here. He was my gateway to inter-libertarianism as a young man,
22:55watched a lot of his YouTube videos and so on. Even I, as a Catholic, loved listening to him.
23:03I remember the attacks, and poof, he was gone. I miss his analysis of stuff. So, that, and this is
23:08from a guy called the Spartan Philosopher. Well, of course, I really do appreciate that, although
23:12we would have different approaches to theology that you listened to my arguments, but it is kind
23:16of funny. Obviously, I'm not putting myself in any elevated categories here, but for somebody whose
23:22religion is founded upon not giving up on someone who was de-platformed on a cross, having me vanish
23:28in your mind is kind of ironic, right? I used to listen to him all the time. His Fall of the Roman
23:35Empire video, I still listen to on Rumble a few times a year. It's a great presentation. Thank you
23:39very much. Too much talk about IQ. He bored people too much. Really, really, really, really, really.
23:54He was pretty much wrong on 100% of what he said, and people just grew up and out of it.
23:59So, I mean, that's interesting as well, because if I was wrong, I mean, this is sort of the Kramer
24:04thing, right? If I was wrong on 100% of stuff, not that he is, it's just the popular meme, right?
24:10Inverse Kramer. But if I was wrong on 100% of stuff, I'd be worth following just so you could
24:14do the opposite and do well, right? But what's interesting is that certainly in my heyday,
24:20like half of what I did was interviews with other people, where I'm letting them talk on both the
24:26left and the right. And so, when I interview people and people say, well, Stef just 100%
24:31wrong on what he says, they sort of forget that half of the content that I was producing at the
24:35time was interviews with other people. He had free domain radio. He was warning about COVID
24:40in November of 2019, and they went after him hard. Facts hurt too many feelings,
24:48and the cancel is working overtime to point out things that weren't there.
24:58He OD'd on the red pills and eventually started taking them as suppositories of life on air.
25:03Boy, that would be a screenshot. That would be a screenshot. Good question. Where did he go?
25:10He's still legend, even though a bit cucked. I can live with that. He touched on the forbidden
25:17topics and that was it. He's still a legend, even though a bit cucked. I can live with that.
25:24He's still a legend, even though a bit cucked. He touched on the forbidden topics and that was it.
25:29He's still a legend, even though a bit cucked. I can live with that. He touched on the forbidden
25:30topics and that was it. Am I delusional to think Stefan Molyneux
25:36apparently has not been here for four years as relatively good looking?
25:42He was just a bit too early, LOL. That and Canada is USSR. Sorry, I mean to laugh,
25:47not funny, but it's a little funny. Let's see here. As far as I know,
25:53he still runs a podcast and has a website, but it's all under his...
25:57a court? Every social media site kicked him out for speaking his mind.
26:01I was just speaking my mind. I'm reasoning in evidence, right? Because that's what should happen,
26:06right? What should happen, of course, is if I'm wrong and I'm popular, then people should debate
26:13me, they should humiliate me, they should prove me wrong and so on, but that's not right.
26:20He was openly racist. I think people just actually listened to him and he got the consequences.
26:26Yeah, again, racist is just one of these words, right, that people use to ward off thought,
26:35because racism against some groups is perfectly acceptable.
26:41All right, I remember him well. Comment section on this one, I guess, right? Yes,
26:46he got cancelled before anyone, it seems. No, I think there were a few people before me.
26:50He is a sociopath. No room in society for those. Now, that's what they call projection.
26:57Oh, wow, yeah, I remember him, just disappeared. Sounds like an intelligent man afflicted with an
27:04obsession. That's right, he was obsessed. He just... all he would talk about, he just, you know,
27:09and it's like, I've got, I mean, I think of any shows, like, literally in the world,
27:14I think of any shows, I have the greatest amount of variety.
27:16Good question, so what's with the picture of Bill Burr? Oof, oof, I say, oof, oof, oof, all right.
27:24I'm Hispanic and I believe his theory is on race and IQ, but I absolutely know that I probably
27:28banked more than many white people. IQ isn't everything. Of course, that's perfectly true.
27:32It's perfectly true, and you should never judge any individual by group averages. It's only useful
27:36when you zoom out to societal level, and they weren't my theories. I was just repeating facts
27:42and interviewing experts and so on. I followed him back before I discovered Jordan Peterson,
27:50wondered about him. Smart and honest is a bad combo, threatens the extinctionists.
27:59It's rather grim. Let's see here. Injustice, he is a normal dude, reasonable and moderate.
28:06They destroyed his life. Why? No, I mean, I think that they toasted a lot of my life's work,
28:12because I considered my life's work to also include the comments on my videos and social media
28:19platforms. In the future, there will be a great sorrow at how much of a philosophical
28:27discourse was nuked with the erasure, particularly of my YouTube channel. That's a lot of data
28:34that was taken away in terms of how people were thinking and what they were arguing at the time.
28:43Let's see here. A woman says, he went off the rails and talked about nothing but women needing
28:48to have babies. So again, if I talk about a wide variety of issues, but you only think I'm talking
28:54about one thing, that's interesting, and that would be a good avenue for you to pursue in terms
28:59of self-knowledge. Why is that all I'm hearing about when he talks about a wide variety of things?
29:04So this woman says, he went off the rails. Again, I went crazy, and I became obsessive,
29:10and I lost the plot. All of this, again, these are just words to ward off the demon of reason.
29:14Sorry, I keep mixing my analogies. My apologies. It's what the demon of the false self calls the
29:22priest of reason, the demon of prejudice. All right. He went off the rails and talked about
29:27nothing but women needing to have babies, and not in a broader need to up the birth rate sense,
29:32but constantly addressing women and instructing them to open their wombs. It was creepy AF. Dude
29:37was obsessed. Yeah, creepy, obsessed, went off the rails, and blah, blah, blah. It's just, don't
29:43listen to his arguments. The guy's just, he's weird. He's weird. He's not a man in fine arts.
29:50Let's see here.
29:54Yes, I used to listen to him a lot. They got him good. He's still around on Rumble and has
29:58a free domain website, I think. They nuked him soon after he started going too deep into the
30:01science behind race and IQ. Let's see here.
30:10He's in Canada, and folks didn't really push back hard enough when he was banned.
30:14So for those two reasons, he doesn't talk about politics much. He sticks to relationships and
30:18philosophy like he did in the old days of YouTube. Yeah, it's kind of, I've gone back to my roots.
30:25He screwed himself when he changed his brand name from Free Domain Radio to just Free Domain.
30:31That change killed his SEO and made it way easier to shadow ban him.
30:36He is also very much a cult of personality.
30:41So a cult of personality is, you should believe me because I'm saying it.
30:47So cults of personality don't tend to lay out syllogistical arguments. Cults of personality
30:51don't tend to include sources. Cults of personality don't tend to interview people who disagree.
30:57Cults of personality don't do debates with people very much opposed to his position.
31:03And cults of personality don't tend to engage with intelligent critics in the public square.
31:09So again, this is just a phrase, it's a cult of personality, not even a great song,
31:13just to ward off the priest of thought, right? Let's see here.
31:19He is very smart and well-spoken. Absolutely irrelevant. But what he's trying to do is say
31:24that I'm a sophist, right? Like I'm smart, I'm well-spoken and therefore I can convince people,
31:28blah, blah, blah. I started listening to him in 2009 when he sat in for Peter Schiff on his
31:32podcast. I moved on in 2018 and haven't listened to him since. The problem with Steph is he is not
31:39humble and he has overstepped his own boundaries on several occasions. His take on Robin Williams
31:46is evidence of him making a judgment call based on little to no information. That looked bad and
31:50it became obvious he was engagement farming. So the Robin Williams, I said that Robin Williams,
31:57I introduced sort of the concept to a very large audience called the me-plus, right?
32:02I can't just be myself. I have to be me-plus making jokes, me-plus having money, me-plus
32:07being really good looking, me-plus a great hairstyle, me-plus whatever it is. I can't
32:11just be myself. I have to be me-plus, right? And that was a factor in Robin Williams life.
32:19Now, the fact that we didn't know at the time of his suicide that he also had Lewy body dementia,
32:23which may have had an influence, does not invalidate that. It just means that there
32:27may have been more than one cause of his suicide. And of course, the fact that somebody
32:33has dementia does not cause them to commit suicide. There is an underlying pathology,
32:37I would assume, that gets uprooted, like in veno veritas, right? It's not that being drunk
32:43doesn't make you a different person. It just takes away your inhibitions. So, yes, I talked
32:49about Robin Williams and the false self while acknowledging that he was a brilliant comedian
32:54and fantastic entertainer and a great actor as well. His turn in Good Will Hunting was remarkable.
33:00So, the fact that there were more layers to something that I was reporting on immediately,
33:05I have no issue with. You can't know before you know. And does it actually invalidate? Like,
33:10did I say there are no other factors? Well, I didn't say that because there are.
33:13There's no way to know that. So, when I say here's a major factor and then it turns out
33:16there were other factors, it doesn't invalidate the main point. But anyway.
33:21Bad philosophy and borderline evil practices made him unimportant.
33:28I mean, again, it's just a phrase. You don't even know there's no argument, right?
33:31All right. He went trumper and was a condescending douche to someone who donated one dollar.
33:47And the funny thing is, too, right? I mean, that's false. I remember very clearly because
33:51it became, I guess, a minor little firestorm in our corner of the internet.
33:55But I remember somebody donated two dollars, which, you know, at the time there was a fair
34:00amount of fees involved. I got to track it and report it and so on. So, it's a pretty much a
34:06negative donation. And I said, I posted a picture of the donation, just, of course, no identifying
34:13information. And I said, I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but, well, that's all I posted.
34:18That's all I posted. And people went mental. People went mental. Because,
34:24and the reason that I said it was that, look, if it's your last two dollars, don't spend it on me.
34:29Please don't spend it on me. If you have more, but you're only sending two dollars,
34:34then that's a kind of a power move. It's downgrading the quality of what it is that I'm
34:39doing, right? And so, I talked about all of this, but, you know, people don't care. He was just
34:45mean to someone who donated a dollar. And what that does for women in particular, and it's funny
34:50because as my show has always had a fairly strong contingent of women, which has a lot of pluses,
34:55as I became more popular, what happened was whenever I could be reframed as being mean to
35:03someone who was of low status, women jump in to attack. A lot of women, not all, of course, right?
35:09Uh, because he is a neo-Nazi like you, blah, blah, blah, boring, boring, boring.
35:15Stephen Molyneux was brainwashing teenagers, so if he finally disappeared, that would be a good
35:20thing. Now, that is, and that's from a woman, Sabrina. So, that's, you know, that's really
35:27tough. It's really tough because, you know, there, I mean, there are genuine brainwashers out there,
35:34like people who, you know, kidnap people and relentlessly program and torture them and so on.
35:42One of the things, and it actually does anger me, like there are genuine cults out there that do
35:47massive harm to people and prey upon them and exploit them and steal their life savings and
35:53isolate them and so on, like really, really dangerous, nasty organizations out there.
35:58And there are genuine brainwashers out there who torture and medicate and brutalize people's minds
36:04and so on. And when you hijack those terms because you dislike someone's arguments on the
36:11internet, you are actually deeply, deeply, deeply insulting the victims of genuinely nasty cults and
36:19genuinely violent and destructive brainwashers. That is a terrible, terrible thing to do. There
36:26are real victims of very dangerous people out there, and then lumping me in with that because
36:31you're emotionally bothered by something I said is a real insult to the genuine victims of some
36:38genuinely bad people. So I heard he's searching for gold in the Arctic. That's very good.
36:47Somebody, Liberty Strike says he got cancer and lost the plot.
36:52Well, I'm not really sure what that means.
36:53Let's see here.
37:02I'll just do one more, I guess. He's on Rumble and other platforms as free domain.
37:05The real reason they took him down in early 2020 after covering SARS-CoV-2 spread and
37:10suppressed news and going in-depth on what was happening around the world and the genetics,
37:15including the polybasic furin cleavage site with a subject expert, I think specifically after he
37:22showed a long research paper trail from lab to lab from a Reddit post that showed the potential
37:28development of the virus over a decade shortly after his account was suspended. The Reddit thread
37:33nuked. The Reddit was deleted. Other people who commented on it with their videos were deleted.
37:39And then numerous papers were paywalled or had their URLs changed and underlying research,
37:47which wasn't fully researched from Wuhan Institute of Virology specifically, were
37:51internally deleted. Not very well-known law from back then.
37:55Oops. Yeah. So yes, I certainly did talk about that as a whole.
38:03Let's see here. He was Lauren Southern. I don't know what that means.
38:08I remember when Heather Haying called him a disgusting human being.
38:12Is that Brett Weinstein's wife? She called me a disgusting human being.
38:17Well, what can I say? Not an argument. Some didn't like how he forced people to think.
38:24So the unthinkable, the unthinkables had to act. Of course, I can't possibly
38:33force people to think. I just can't. He still runs free domain and moved to more tolerant
38:40platforms like locals listen to him almost daily. Thank you very much. And I'll stop at this one
38:46because, you know, this could go on and on. And I find these comments very interesting. And I do
38:49appreciate everyone who's commenting. It's good to get a sort of snapshot of because I don't I'm
38:53not part of this world anymore and I don't really think about it. Somebody said this woman said
38:58he's on Rumble. Years ago, he told me to get my son out of public school and homeschool him
39:03or have him attend Freedom Project of FPE USA. I did and my son attended the Freedom Project Academy
39:13and now he's got a full ride to a Christian university. I owe Stefan an enormous amount
39:18of gratitude. Now again, I don't tell people what to do so she may have misinterpreted what I said.
39:23I may have said in your shoes I would or this might be a good idea and so on but that is really
39:28really nice. That is really nice and wonderful and congratulations very much for all of this.
39:38And I really do appreciate everyone's comments and thoughts. It's nice to see that people
39:46doth remember and I'm getting this sort of, you know, nostalgia and shot through a honey brand
39:51muffin kind of feeling about the good old days, which were, you know, the tough old days in many
39:56ways. I really do thank everyone who has stayed along for the ride. I absolutely love what I'm
40:01doing now and I really do appreciate everyone's time, attention, and thoughts. I've not gone
40:06crazy. I've not lost the plot. I didn't post an alt account. I didn't attack someone who sent
40:10two dollars and so on. So I really do appreciate everyone's time and attention. What's really nice
40:17about what I'm doing is I don't have to, and I never had to I suppose, but I don't have to
40:25see things all the time that are, you know, egregiously and totally false, like the exact
40:33opposite of the truth about me. I don't have to rub my nose in the stink of brain decay from the
40:38average NPC because I'm dealing with this graduate school, people who really think, who criticize,
40:44who oppose in very intelligent ways, which I absolutely love and thank you for. And if you'd
40:49like to help out the show, freedomain.com slash donate, or you can join freedomain.locals.com or
40:54subscribestar.com slash freedomain. Thank you, everybody. I much prefer the jazz club of excellent
41:00musicians to the stadium largely filled with anti-thinking NPCs. So much better life.
41:07Thank you, everyone, so much. Have a wonderful day. I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
