I guess the time has come to finally come out of the closet. For the past 20 years, I've been living a double life. The strain of my deception has finally gotten to me, and I wish to officially come clean. I live a secret life as a black man. I was brought up in […]

When I was younger, and optimistic to the point of being naïve, I had an economics professor – let's call him Dr. Destructo – who repeatedly made the following argument: "War is good for the economy, because it reduces unemployment, […]

As libertarians, the question of participation in a statist society can be a great challenge. How can we claim to be resolutely anti-state, anti-war and anti-violence while at the same time driving on public roads, consuming public services, and paying the very taxes that make the coercive power of the state possible? If we are […]

Imagine that a farmer comes to you for advice. "My chickens keep dying," he complains, "and I have no idea why!" "What do they die of?" you ask. "Oh, the usual – diseases spread like wildfire, and they often get crushed to death – or just asphyxiate." "Asphyxiate?" you reply, rather startled. "How so?" "Well," […]

Below, please find the first few pages on my new book: On Truth: The Tyranny of Illusion, available at lulu. From a short-term, merely practical standpoint, you really do not want to read this book. This book will mess up your life, as you know it. This book will change every single one of your […]

By far the most common objection to the idea of a stateless society is the belief that one or more private Dispute Resolution Organizations (DROs) would overpower all the others and create a new government. This belief is erroneous at every conceivable level, but has a kind of rugged persistence that is almost admirable. Here […]

How can a society without a government pay for national defense? Many people, when first hearing the concept of a stateless society, cannot imagine how collective defense could possibly be paid for the absence of taxation. This is an important question to ask, but there is a way of answering it that also answers many […]

What is Freedomain? Freedomain is a philosophical conversation based on empirical logic and the Socratic method, designed to help you bring the maximum freedom and happiness into your life. Philosophy? Really? Isn't philosophy kind of, well – useless? Post-modern philosophy, in general, yes. In terms of how you can make sense of your life, and […]

One of the most horrendous aspects of the government is the degree to which it dilutes, undercuts and destroys moral responsibility within society. Old women who would never rob their grandchildren at gunpoint feel perfectly entitled to cash their Social Security check. Gentle mothers who would pale at the thought of spanking their children will […]

By Stefan Molyneux Host, Freedomain http://www.freedomain.com/ Ah, my son, my son… He’s 40 years old, and really needs to change careers. When he was 20, he joined the Ku Klux Klan, because he was concerned that the Klan was getting too big, too aggressive. In those days, they were lynching some poor man every week, […]

About a year and a half ago, I started recording libertarian podcasts in my car during my drive to and from work. It seemed like a fun way to kill the time in traffic, and it also gave me a chance to help clarify my thoughts with regards to various issues that people had written […]

Stefan Molyneux Host, Freedomain www.freedomain.com As we saw with the Virginia Tech shootings, whenever guns are pointed at the wrong people, by the wrong people, the knee-jerk reaction is to want to ban guns. There are two important aspects to the question of gun control, however, which have not been discussed in the recent anti-gun […]

Now that my wife has started taking political science courses, things are getting really confusing at my house. Just this morning there was a knock at our front door. Opening it, I saw an enormous man, who asked for my wife. “Actually, I think she’s just heading out to go shopping,” I said, my eyes […]

In the world of philosophy, those who make the active claim that God does not exist are often viewed as extremists. Taking a positive stand about the nonexistence of God is considered akin to claiming that all forms of matter, energy and consciousness have already been discovered, and that there is nothing new to be […]

Sometimes the greatest plans can be derailed by a single word. One of my earliest articles was entitled “Proving Libertarian Morality,” which was my attempt to provide a rational and universal justification for a theory of ethics, and which has proved thoroughly confusing for some people, all because of one single word. I wrote this […]

According to an apocryphal story, a well-known scientist was describing to an audience how the Earth orbits the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy. At the end of his lecture, a little old lady got up and said: “This is all nonsense. […]

Statist DatingBy Stefan Molyneux So this afternoon, when my son comes home from school, he’s carrying a cat-cage. He throws his books on the kitchen table and flashes me a smile, heading to the fridge. “Hey son,” I ask, “Where’d you get the cat?” “Oh” he says, opening the fridge door, “it’s my date’s.” “Your […]

In my role as a business consultant, I am often asked to provide solutions to highly complex problems. Recently, a large, politically well-connected agricultural business paid me a fortune to provide them with a five-year plan on how to best allocate their assets, capital and human resources in order to maximize profitability. The complexity of […]
