Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA @StefanMolyneux

People who claim that they “refuse to settle” are implicitly claiming that they are somehow perfect, because no one has to “settle” to be with them.

“Concerning the Jews” by Mark Twain, 1899: “If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has…

It is wild to see people who disagree with Elon's politics advocate to instead purchase cars from BYD, a Chinese company that just had a factory site shut down for slavery.

"Actors were classified as infames (infamous) under Roman law, a status shared with prostitutes, gladiators, and pimps. This stripped them of many civic rights, such as the ability to hold public office, serve in the military, or even testify reliably in court. The Lex Julia…

i absolutely love that literal instructions for how to deliberately derail organizations were published in 1944 by the cia & yet, in most large corps right now, this reads like a standard operating procedure doc. remarkable.

High IQ people are good at manipulating and fitting mental lego blocks together. They are NOT inherently good at apprehending truth. Give a high IQ person a bunch of retarded building blocks (i.e. flawed axioms), and they’ll build an entire retarded mental castle

some people just get it. you throw ideas in the air, they catch them, toss them back, stretch them, remix them. they understand that thinking is a live process, not a checklist. every conversation feels like a high bandwidth exploration, open-ended, dynamic, fun. my friends are…

Back in 2019 I literally discovered that the blind auditions orchestra study, accepted by all the world's top social scientists as proving sex discrimination, did not show what it claimed. I then called my girlfriend to come and take a look. (See: x.com/jonatanpallese…)

When I was in the hospital one of my buddies called me up When I answered the phone, he said “hey bro, I heard you’re in the hospital and you might die” I weekly said “yeah man” as the tumors choked my blood supply, and it took great effort to even breathe. He then yelled…

Frustration is the currency of learning. The longer you can tolerate and accumulate bouts of frustration the more you learn. But you will not naturally gravitate towards frustration. It’s quite uncomfortable. So you need something more important, more natural than your…

She pays homage to the Tongva tribe, but the Tongva moved into Southern California thousands of years after it had already been occupied by a more ancient tribe. They killed and displaced the inhabitants and took over. If they get to claim the title of “indigenous” then so do we.

Welfare makes it possible to be a single mother, so you get more of it. Social Security/Medicare means old people don’t need their kids as much - meaning they don’t care as much, don’t treat them as well, or consider them in their wills - they don’t work to leave them as much.…

it’s wild how modern society has turned what was once a default human activity into an existential crisis requiring spreadsheets, therapy, & lifestyle brand alignment. past societies treated having kids as just part of life, no overthinking, no endless discourse about “readiness”…

Life is going so fast because you're not injecting enough silence into your days. Spend an hour reading or writing or walking in silence and watch how your day seems to double in duration

@signulll Kinda similar to when everyone basically learned how to read and write. If everyone can do that, no need for storytellers, they’ll just make their own stories.

Imagine being completely dependent on Donald Trump to the point that your life was quite possibly on the line. And then, image your move was to try to alpha him on national television in a language you kind of speak.
