In this episode, we explore my journey into the dynamic world of TikTok Live communications. I delve into my experiences with social media, including my initial forays on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), and express my excitement to engage with followers through this new medium. The conversation revolves around the importance of community interaction, where I eagerly invite listeners to share their questions, comments, and challenges with me.
As I traverse through the political and social currents of today, I tackle the contentious topics surrounding the perception of differences in group outcomes and the reactions they often elicit. Drawing from moral philosophy, I emphasize that my views stem from a well-researched understanding of human behavior rather than a desire to provoke. My reflections on societal structures, particularly regarding parenting and gender norms, prompt me to discuss the implications of modern feminist movements and their historical contexts.
I address the ongoing discussions about societal trends, specifically the declining birth rates in various countries, and the economic structures that compound these issues. I propose that government policies often distort natural social behaviors, ultimately leading to an imbalanced relationship between men and women shaped by economic dependence rather than personal choice.
Additionally, I reflect on the influences of various countries on Western political strategies, particularly concerning emerging threats and foreign policy dynamics. My thoughts extend to Japan's political shifts and the broader implications of demographic changes in the global arena, as I offer my insights on how these elements influence cultural and economic stability.
Throughout our session, I illuminate my past experiences and the evolution of my philosophical inquiries, highlighting my continuous engagement with audiences across different platforms. For those seeking deeper philosophical discussions, I introduce my ongoing work on a new book while also promoting my previous works that reflect on human existence, morality, and parenting.
As the episode unfolds, it becomes evident that the journey is not merely about personal growth but also about understanding and engaging with the philosophical underpinnings of societal changes. I reiterate my commitment to fostering open dialogues on these pressing issues, encouraging listeners to challenge prevailing narratives and embrace a reasoned discourse rooted in evidence and compassion.
[0:03] Well well hi everybody it's Stefan Molyneux from uh freedomain and i guess i've unlocked a new level new level which is uh tiktok live live baby live so i'm just going to give it to try here see how it looks see how it goes and i'm curious i am curious how things work.

[2:53] Why are you hated in Canada? Oh, come on, man. Come on, man.
[3:00] Be fair. Be reasonable. Be honest. I'm not just hated in Canada. I'm hated all over the place. So one of the main reasons that I'm hated is the leftists have this blank slate theory. Like, you know, when you were a kid and you got your plasticine and you tried not to mix it into those swirly colors, right? So when you're a kid and you got your plasticine, what you could do was make it into anything. You could turn it into a snake. Ooh, these are easy, right? You could turn it into a snake. You could turn it into a person. You could make a wall out of it. You could make a dragon. You could do whatever, right? So the leftist perception is that the human mind, the human body is a blank slate. And so anytime there are group differences in outcomes, they view that as evidence of absolute, you know, bigotry, racism, sexism, you name it, right? So if you look at, say, men and women, and you say, well, men earn more in the workplace. Well, because men and women are fundamentally the same, there's no difference, no biological differences, no genetic differences, no differences in habits or history, the big five personality traits equally distributed. And if there are differences, it's the result of socialization, sexism, bigotry, you name it, right? So all group differences in outcomes are the result of prejudice, and prejudice is evil, and therefore, therefore, right?
[4:28] So, I mean, one of the reasons that I'm hated, which is kind of the job, you know, I'm a moral philosopher, so that's kind of the job, is to be hated by people who are corrupt and do wrong. So the reason the leftists hate me is I kept interviewing experts talking about that there are differences, say, between men and women and so on. And so if you have good reasons for differences, then, you lose the sort of rage and resentment that goes into thinking, well, we're all the same, and therefore the only difference in group outcomes is bigotry, right? And leftism is that basic argument of that basic idea. All right. Let's see here. I just got the number one grifter. Oh, gifter badge. Sorry, sorry. I thought, Because people call me a grifter. It's an NPC word, you know, like bashing a grifter and all that kind of stuff. Love you so much. Thank you.
[5:28] ESO presents. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Thank you for the gifts. I don't know what the hell they are. But, you know, goodies are nice. Goodies are fine.
[5:40] So I appreciate that. And thank you for the likes, if you could like and share.
[5:45] And if you have any other questions or comments i would appreciate that you know it is a kind of funny thing right it's a kind of funny thing in history so everyone knows that there are good men and women who were hated at the time right i mean jesus obviously socrates was put to death, um a plato uh entered into politics in syracuse in greece of course not america and uh he was he ended up being sold into slavery and one of his former students recognized him and bought him bought his freedom for i think 400 drachma or something like that and so that happened uh aristotle was also persecuted by the mob for his moral philosophy and he uh after seeing what happened to Socrates, who refused to flee, I think wanted to die.
[6:38] Aristotle did flee, saying that he would not allow Athens to sin against philosophy twice. Of course, we know the scientists, a lot of the scientists in the Middle Ages were persecuted. Galileo was famously tortured, and Jesus, of course, as I mentioned. So we all know that there are good people who are hated by evildoers. And yet, and yet, whenever somebody gets a bad reputation for reasons that nobody can quite figure out, they just paint that person with repeatedly negative words, providing no actual evidence.
[7:12] You know, like, I mean, what, I get called a racist, right? Whatever that means, right? Despite the fact that I have tons of people who are not white on my show, Asians, Indians, blacks, and Hispanics, and I have open conversations with everyone all the time about life issues and philosophy. I don't care about race. I mean, it's an important thing when it comes to looking at group differences, but you never judge individuals by any of that stuff. So anyway, that is just the sad reality. Somebody says, I'm moving out. I'm moving out.
[7:47] I'm moving out and my new neighbors are longtime listeners. It's like Christmas coming early, right? Well, I appreciate that. I hope you like the new place.
[7:56] What are your thoughts on Japan's hard right winning pick? Well, Japan survived two nuclear bombs in the firebombing of Tokyo and other cities. You know, people forget that the firebombings of these largely wood-based and paper-based cities was worse in terms of an sort of overnight death count than Hiroshima or Nagasaki. So Japan was able to survive all of that. It just can't survive endless debt and feminism, right? So, feminism, of course, you know, it's a big topic, and I'll just touch on it briefly here. Men and women should be equal under the law. I know that's a really weird and radical idea, but it's true. Men and women should be equal under the law. There should be no favoritism, no gender-specific laws, and no advantages for either sex.
[8:44] But modern feminism is, in general, female supremacy in that they want special carve-outs and cut-outs and benefits to women under the state. So men pay about 80% of the taxes and women take about 80% of the benefits out of the government. So modern statism is just a massive resource transfer from men to women. Now, that transfer used to happen from men to women in the form of men providing for their family. And men who work hard take about 90% of their pay and give it to their family, right? So that's the reality of that. Is there, I think I only got 10 minutes too. Like, what's my count down here? So let me just check here.
[9:26] How long have I been going for? I might just have a... Oh, you can use enhanced to freshen up your look. I'm 58. I really don't need that anymore.
[9:37] But so because Japan has the highest per capita debt of any country, I think, in the world, Japan is dying because resources are being transferred from men to women without women having to actually have babies. Because that's why men are driven to give resources to women, because women have their babies right so women are taking the resources through the power of the state and not providing babies in return which is why japan and china and nobody knows how to reverse these catastrophically low birth rates like south korea is like 1.1 i mean you need 2.1 just just to maintain the population so the birth rate collapse is entirely related to um women in the workforce women, being highly educated usually not even educated just propagandized because that's the thing like you can make men and women equal to each other but that's the end of your civilization because, women aren't taking time off to have a couple of kids which lowers their income and makes them more dependent on men and so on so you teach women to be frightened of men and then you teach women that, that they have to go and get educated and have careers and so on and then all the mistakes that they made get backfilled by the government and all that kind of stuff so it's um so uh japan is going hard right i assume because they're seeing what immigration is doing in other places but.
[11:00] Until and unless japan or any government is going to stop taking hundreds of billions of dollars or trillions of dollars from men and giving it to women in return for votes uh you simply can't you can't fix the birth rate because uh that's just the way it goes all right let's see here, have you heard the claim china is actually more like 800 million population at 1.2 i have not heard that but china of course like they had the one child policy i just had dinner with a friend the other day and we were talking about this um the one child policy china is now of course desperately trying to reverse that nobody knows how to reverse catastrophically low, birth rates. I mean, nobody knows how to do it. I mean, I know how to do it, which is restore freedom, private property rights, and stop using the power of the state to transfer, ungodly amounts of wealth from men to women. That's one thing. To have women be equal before the law, to not have special privileges for men or women, that would return the birth rate, but that's not about to happen. All right.
[12:10] Nice to see you on here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Do you think the West is getting hedged by the rest of the world?
[12:18] Well, there's a tipping point, right? There's a tipping point at which holding on to, say, U.S. treasuries becomes a liability. See, right now, let's say Japan or China, some of the biggest holders of U.S. Treasuries, they get to classify those as assets. But the moment that people begin to fear, and like 40% of all the dollars ever were created since COVID. So it's a complete madhouse when it comes to money printing. So the moment that the value of the US treasuries begins to be in question.
[12:51] Then banks have to do, and other financial institutions have to do a write-down. And this is one of the things that happened, of course, in the housing crash in 07-08 was that the real estate had to be written down, right?
[13:04] You couldn't say, I have a billion dollars worth of real estate and counted as an asset, through which if you're a bank, you get to make loans you had to say oh it's only worth 750 million or 500 million which triggers in the call of a whole bunch of loans which can't be paid back and so it's really bad so yeah i think the west is definitely being hedged for sure how am i very very well thank you i hope you're doing well as well uh let's see here thank you molly looking good any chance you will come back to youtube i am not uh allowed back on youtube as far as i know i mean i asked i asked i really want the channel back that I had I had hundreds of thousands of videos I was on YouTube for like I mean 14 years I think and then I was just cancelled off YouTube but no particular warning or any explanation really so you can of course find me freedomain.com connect please please please just find me elsewhere I'm still producing videos still doing all kinds of great stuff.
[14:01] So, why does the West help out communist countries that philosophically hate them? Because a very large number of institutions in the West, from media to government to education, are staffed and run by communists. I think it's in, gosh, what is it, in the anthropology departments, like, 40% of the academics are outright Marxist, like, not even subtle, right?
[14:26] And uh you know marxism killed more people than nazism so you you can't be a nazi good uh you can be a marxist not so great so oh yeah so if you've got people interested in philosophy you can go to essentialphilosophy.com i've got a free ebook there i deal with three big topics in philosophy you know are we living in a simulation and free will versus determinism and a proof of ethics without requiring guards or governments.
[14:58] So you can do that. You can do that. You should simultaneously stream on here and X at the same time. That is a good idea. Is this Stefan Molyneux? Is this a real life? Is this just fantasy? You've got a flash goal. Sorry, this is all new technology. What does that mean? Forgifters send Rose to your live in 15 minutes. Okay. So could you do me a solid and send me a rose? I've bathed, what is it, Sunday? Yeah, I bathed two weeks ago, so I think I deserve a rose. Like, you know, for me, bathing, mostly it's just scraping with a spatula and then a hedgehog for the butt area. Because I bathe, like, every two weeks, whether I need it or not. So if you could send me a rose to my life. That would be, that would still be, that would be excellent. All right. I'm going to pin this. Forgifters send Rose to this live. I'm barely speaking English at that point.
[16:05] What do you think of the great replacement theory? Might just look at the numbers. Don't need any particular insights from me. You can still be a guest on other channels. That is true. However, when there was a giant nuclear crater where my former career was as of 2020, gosh, was that an election year in the United States? Oh, I'm sure that had nothing to do with anything. But because I was so spectacularly nuked from social media, I think people have a certain amount of hesitation bringing me onto their channels.
[16:36] Are you dark woke? Oh, I got a gift. Oh, kibbles. Thank you. If you could, I would appreciate that. Oh, look at that. We're going past... Oh, you sent me a rose. Oh, and every time I felt a rose, it seems I only got the thorn. All right, I appreciate that. I got the number two grifter back. Gifter, not grifter, gifter. Gifter, come on, rose me up, people. I didn't have this on my 2025 bingo, lol. Well, I appreciate that. I don't know, what is this title, gifter? I don't even know what's happening. But if you all could trim my nose hairs too, I can't get any machinery up there that does me any good because I'm like 58, which means no hair on the head, ear bushes and nose bushes are coming out like the Pleistocene era. Do you think there's any chance?
[17:30] Did somebody just... Okay, somebody just... Yeah.
[17:35] Is there any chance of paying off the 36 trillion in debts or are we going to default? There is no way. There's no way. Rose me, baby. Come on. I I don't even know what these are for, but I'm a goal-oriented life form, so we must rose as I rose from the debt here on TikTok. No, you can't. Okay, there's the deficit, the debt, and the unfunded liabilities. The deficit, of course, is what you can't pay in any given year. The debt is what accumulates from that. The unfunded liabilities are the promises that the government has made to pay things in the future for which it does not have the money. Of course, Social Security being the big one. The unfunded liabilities are somewhere around the economist, I think it was Lawrence Krauss worked it out to be 180 million, but that was some years ago. So it's probably, sorry, trillion. So it's probably the unfunded liabilities that the US have, which is over and above the deficit, is $200 trillion, probably, give or take, right?
[18:38] That you can't pay that. I mean, the economy, economies around the world, particularly in the West, it's all a mirage, right? None of this is real, right? None of this is real. Like if you buy a bunch of stuff on debt, you have it for a while, and then it just gets repossessed, right? It gets taken back, right? The house looks like a garage sale, right, when the tax agent comes to the door. So debt creates the illusion of having stuff. You know, if you go into debt to buy a house and then you can't afford your house, you lose the house, or at least you're used to. So nothing is real in the economy. It's a mirage. It's an illusion that is sustained by debt. It's like some guy, your neighbor, you get up and you go to work early, you work hard all day, and your neighbor just sits around the pool and does nothing. Oh, why, thank you. Thank you for that.
[19:37] Your neighbor just sits around does nothing and you're like oh come on man why am i going to work because he's he's just in debt he's just running up credit card debt and so he looks like he's having a great time but it's all going to come crashing down there's well there's only one chance there's only one chance that the u.s has to pay off its debt and unfunded liabilities i've been talking about this for a while is this of interest ole are you are you are you interested so.
[20:04] So the reason why, though the reason that America would pay off the debt is it would take taxes in Bitcoin, it would buy Bitcoin, it would find some way to get its hands on Bitcoin, and then when the dollar goes, you know, kind of boobs up, then it would pay off its liabilities with Bitcoin. So that has been my recommendation for many years for just about every western country or any country around the world so so the um the only way is to get some hard asset it's not going to be gold i think there's nothing well they're going to audit fort knox and see how much gold was actually there they won't do it though they just don't want to do it so.
[20:53] All right so let's see here when your twitter account got reinstated why did you wait a while for going back to posting um i had requirements for restitution from twitter because in my view they had lied about why i was banned they said i was manipulating the platform which i'd never done so i wanted an apology right oh we achieved we achieved the rose thing oh here you go um can i do this can you see it okay like backward backward hand thing backward hand thing there we go that's your reward. Appreciate it. So I expected apologies and restitution from X or Twitter. And then my daughter, she's 16, my daughter made an airtight case for going back to Twitter. And since I'm a evidence-based life form, you can't make a good argument to me that I will not accept.
[21:40] My daughter made a fantastic argument about going back on X. And so I did.
[21:45] Somebody said, I still remember when you were friends with Lauren Southern and Steven Crowder. Well, Steven and I just did some shows together. I won't say we were friends. Lauren and I did a tour together, but I haven't talked to them in forever and ever. Oh, man, I think Lauren has a new book out. All right. Thank you for all of these lovely presents and gifts. I don't know. I don't know what I mean. And here, is it true? I think it's true. Here on TikTok, I can do calls, right? Like as it says here, invite, invite. So I'll do that next time. I don't have a headset set up, but I'll do that next time.
[22:28] Tap the screen people to get more people on the philosophy live stream.
[22:32] Honest thoughts on Andrew Tate. Very smart guy. No, I mean, a motor mouth, a very smart guy.
[22:40] I find in general, his approach to wealth is kind of repellent. I think that you should focus on virtue, on honesty, and trying to make the world a better place rather than having something called Hustler University where you teach people to do, I would imagine, I would imagine, I don't know, some fairly shady stuff, you know, hustling around, making deals. And it's like, how about virtue and promoting, you know, truth, honor, dignity, self-respect, peaceful parenting, that kind of stuff. I don't say. The posts on X are next level.
[23:19] Would you ever do live debates on TikTok? Sure. I love me a live debate.
[23:23] I would love to do live debates. What are your thoughts on Jordan B. Peterson? Again, so Jordan B. Peterson, a great psychologist, and I'm obviously glad that he recovered from his fairly predictable drug addiction. I think he got addicted to benzodiazepines, which everybody knows, particularly for a psychologist, are highly addictive. So he ended up having a, I think, be flown to Russia, he was put in a coma, he has since recovered and so on. And I've definitely got some useful stuff out of Jordan Peterson. He's not a philosopher, so he doesn't build things up from first principles. So he's very much lacking in the moral area as far as, as I actually, Hasid University teaches about how to trade crypto and use AI and online tools. Well, not when it started, because there was no AI when it started.
[24:11] So, do you ever wish your life amounted to something? Do you ever wish your life amounted to something?
[24:20] That is interesting. It's an interesting question. Let me just see here. Yeah, so with Jordan, I would like Jordan Peterson to work from First Principles and build them up from that, but that's not his sort of gig. And I know a lot of the things that he doesn't talk about, which I talked about. Now, of course, I got counseled for talking about these things, so I can understand that he wants his career and all of that. But to me, if you're not willing to sacrifice popularity for the truth, I don't know that you get to be called much of a moral intellectual in the public stage. And you can't teach anyone how to trade crypto. Look, it's a foundational truth of economics that nobody knows.
[24:56] Nobody knows the price of anything tomorrow. Nobody knows. Now, what you can do is you can have, and I'm not saying this is true of Hustle University, but you can have your pump and dumps and you can, oh, this is going to the moon, and then you can you know pull the sort of rug pull stuff that goes on but uh no would you still identify as an anarcho-capitalist i do not remember matthew drake the artist but yeah i am, you look familiar well you may have mistaken me for the guy in the f1 formula racing movie, but um yeah i'm still an anarcho-capitalist i mean i can't overturn the morals and the arguments so that is where it is all right Stef woo thank you matt thank you cat thank you the scoots thank you emperor oz thank you fid paul anthony i appreciate that why did world war one start in eastern europe and why did they have so much facings and anarchists um so go to fdrpodcast.com do a search for world war one i got a whole presentation on that hope you're doing well You've been a major positive influence among my friends. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. It's great seeing you on live. Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
[26:06] Perhaps I haven't been looking at the correct places, but what have you been up to in the last five years? Well, almost six feet, my friend, in the morning. So the last five years, I mean, I've done, I don't know, thousands of videos and podcasts. I've written three books. I'm working on my fourth, and...
[26:29] Uh i've done i've done a lot i've done a lot uh i haven't been out public speaking because too many bomb threats and death threats uh that it's sort of impossible to book me i haven't, done many shows with other people you know obviously i became a mildly radioactive leper after the mass cancellation event that occurred in the summer of 2020 again right before the u.s selection of course so um but yeah i've been working i work with a group on freedomain.locals.com and subscribestrota.com slash freedomain i've been doing three shows a week for the last five years and again i i also read um i have a great book that i wrote before i became a public figure called almost and it's a novel so i'm half irish and half german and i grew up in england and so it's a novel it's a long novel but really good and it's a german family and a british family and their lives between World War I and World War II and sort of explaining the origins of what went on. So I read that as an audio book. I wrote a book called The Future, which is a really great book about.
[27:38] It's a president of the United States gets cryogenically frozen before the end of his life and he wakes up in an anarcho-capitalist future 500 years from now and is put on trial for all of the evils he did. Oh, it's so good. It's so good. vengeance against the political class is what makes my blood pump. So peaceful, reasonable, rational. So I wrote that book. Then I wrote a book called The Present, which is all of the things that are going on in the world today that are leading to disaster. And then I wrote a book called Peaceful Parenting, peacefulparenting.com. I hope you would check that out. That is nonfiction. and now I'm working on a book about corruption, moral corruption.
[28:25] Let's see here. Other questions? Comments?
[28:36] Who's the greatest living philosopher? I think everybody knows the answer to that. So it's fdrpodcast.com and just search for what? one. Do you still keep the same stance on Charles Murray's book, The Bell Curve? I'm not sure what you mean by stance. So has the data in The Bell Curve been disproven? See, as a philosopher, I do the reason and evidence thing. I don't have stances. I don't have my philosophy. It's like saying, do you reject Einsteinian physics? Have you outgrown that yet? It's like, has it been disproven? No. It seems that even when they put an atomic clock on a fast-flying plane, it loses time. So it's not a stance. I mean, things are proven, and if they're proven, I have to accept them. If they're not proven, I remain agnostic, I have to reject them, right?
[29:40] Women in the West lost their capacity to pair bond. How are most men supposed to find wives?
[29:46] Uh you mean if they've been promiscuous uh well of course um a promiscuity kills pair bonding and if a woman has the more sexual partners a woman has the less likely she is to maintain her marriage right divorce goes up as the number of sexual partners goes up uh it doesn't mean it's a hundred percent but because you've probably heard the statistics and i had these wild neo versus the copy-paste Anderson guys', Battles on X a couple of weeks ago about this, because, you know, people are saying, oh my God, it's too dangerous to get married because divorce rates are 50%.
[30:25] And no, no. I mean, if two guys jump out of a plane and one of them has a parachute and one of them doesn't, and you say, the death rate of parachuting is 50%, it's like, well, no, one of them didn't have a parachute. So I can statistically get your odds of divorce down to less than 5%. Less than 5%. It's not that hard. Less than 5%.
[30:48] Have similar values. You don't have to have the same values, but have similar values. Have a methodology for resolving disputes. I could be married for 23 years. My wife and I, I honestly cannot remember the last conflict we had. And, you know, I work from home. She's at home. We are home with each other all the time. And it's just a complete delight.
[31:08] So you have to have a rational way of resolving disputes, right? And you have to have rules of engagement, right? no fighting sorry not no fighting no yelling no name calling uh no leaving the conflict without it being resolved no storming out like you just have to have rational ways to resolve conflict and philosophy is really good at giving you rational ways to resolve conflict i've got a whole free book called real-time relationships at freedemand.com books and so uh you just have to find a woman thank you for the rose matt mattie sorry that probably shouldn't sound so sinister thank you thank you india so um for pair bonding we pair bond based on virtue right pair bonding isn't some weird biochemical thing where you just kind of mind meld together pair bonding is based on virtue so if you have a virtue uh honesty courage directness self-control and maturity to some degree i'm 50 50 50 on that so you pair bond based on virtue and if you pair bond based on virtue, you will not separate. Because virtue also includes being reasonable in your disagreements.
[32:19] And have your conversations ahead of time. Where do you want to live in general? With a woman, say, well, do you want to stay home with kids? And I think you should, of course. I've been a stay-at-home dad for almost 17 years now. Fantastic. So how much money are you comfortable with? How ambitious should we be? Do you want kids? What's your relationship to your in-laws like? or you go through this process and you find compatible values and methodologies of resolving disputes, you're never going to get divorced.
[32:48] Somebody says, I don't think you got canceled. You voiced some racism and people responded in the free market. Sorry, that's just, I mean, you're just lying. Maybe you don't know that you're lying, but you're lying. I didn't voice some racism. I provided an alternate explanation as to why there are group differences in outcomes in ethnicities. And what I did was I interviewed, see people always shoot the messenger, right? I interviewed 17 world-renowned experts from the left and the right on human intelligence, and they pointed out ethnicity and IQ differences. Is i mean this is just science if you don't like science if you don't like facts i can't help you, and the public didn't respond to the free market because um if people had simply stopped watching me that's fine that's fine but that's not what happened so and i would just say in general this is uh zenry rollins i would just say in general you need to be i don't want to sound like a nag i really don't because you know maybe you've just heard this stuff and you're just repeating it or whatever it is, right?
[33:46] But you kind of need to be responsible in your conscience for the things that you put out there in the world. So you don't want to be, wait, where is my camera here? Oh, there it is. Keep looking at different spots. You don't want to be irresponsible and put out falsehoods that are damaging to people's reputations for the simple reason that you don't want to live in a world like that.
[34:08] You know, if somebody doesn't like you, they just make up lies about you and then they just spread them around on social media, that would be unpleasant for you, right? Now, you know, there are, of course, bad things in the world. There are bad people in the world, and there are people who should have their bad behavior called out, and I understand all of that. But going around saying, oh, well, there was racism, and it was just the free market, when you don't know what happened, and I say this not out of any sense of outrage, or, oh, I don't want to finger wag at you, bad, bad, bad. But what I'm saying is that your conscience records everything you do every little thing you do your conscience records if you spread lies about people that is bad for you i mean i'm fine right i've got a great marriage i've got a great set of friends and family a you know decent career in what it is that i do i have a really good life really good life and i thank everyone who's ever supported me if you want freedomain.com slash donate to help out the show.
[35:02] So it doesn't hurt me when you lie about me. And again, maybe you're just repeating stuff, but you need to be responsible. So you need to look things up before repeating them, just as I do, right? And I've occasionally said things that are false and wrong about people, and I have to apologize and so on. But I say this because I want you to be happy. I want you to be in love. I want you to be comfortable with your own conscience. So you really, really need to be careful about the things that you say out there in the world because if you're careless you are creating a thorn in the soft underbelly and flesh of your own conscience which is not a good thing all right.
[35:41] Will there be a North American Union? I do not think so. It's too easy a gig for Canadian politicians to whip up hatred against America. I mean, Canadian politicians are very happy to work with fairly totalitarian governments like the Indian and Chinese governments. But, you know, our neighbor to the South, it is way too easy. It's way too a go-to position for Canadian politicians to whip up younger sibling resentment against America in Canadians, right?
[36:10] Um what is your stance on why the birth rate is lowering and what should we do about it so the problems in the world are not things we should do something about the problems in the world are things we should stop doing things about so as i said sort of earlier in the stream and i'll just keep it brief we need to stop using the power of the state to force transfer trillions of dollars, from one group to another from one sex to another from women to men blah blah blah we just need to stop doing that. It's incredibly distortionary.
[36:41] Women generally pair bond based upon the provision of resources. And if the resources are coming from men through the medium of the government forcibly transferring wealth, then women will pair bond with the government. And you see this, right? Women who are single will always vote for bigger government. And women who are married will always vote. Sorry, I say always. I mean, there's exceptions. But this is such an overwhelming trend it's crazy right so women who are single overwhelmingly are on the left and vote for bigger government because they pair bonded with the government because that's where their resources come from and people who are women who are married and christian and obviously stay-at-home moms if they are that way they want smaller and smaller government because they pair bonded with their husband so smaller government means more money for the married woman because it's lower taxes and bigger government means more money for the single woman because it's more social programs So we have to just stop violating fundamental morality and stop using force to transfer all of these things, right?
[37:46] All right. What kind of wealth will our future have if the birth rates are so low?
[37:54] I mean, it's obviously a sinister pivot. When I was a kid, everyone was, oh, don't have kids, bad for the environment, don't have kids, bad for the environment, don't have kids. And now it's like, oh, you need infinity immigration because you didn't have enough kids. It's like, oh, that's a sinister pivot, man.
[38:07] Sinister. I used to be a big fan of Stefan in 2018. Then it seemed like he fell off YouTube after the Rubin report. I don't know. Do me a favor. Go to the website. It's called onewebsiteover.com. So it's so funny, you know. It's so funny. If you'd stayed fans of mine, or it stuck around, because I didn't vanish from the web. I just went one website over. Instead of youtube.com, you could go to rumble.com, odyssey, lbry when it was there, bit shoot. I mean, I was literally one website over. So all these people who were like man i'm such a fan i'm such a fan it's like i'm one website over, and uh what was it bitcoin has gone up 800 since 2020 so i guess the people who followed me might have been okay all right so i didn't fall off anywhere i just i went one website over it's like oh i love that girl man she's the greatest girl ever she's just so wonderful i she's i'm huge oh did she move one wait she's one house over i'll forget it it's too far to walk.
[39:18] All right is china really a threat to the west or just a boogeyman distraction, from the elites well um china never canceled me and china doesn't charge me outrageous taxes, That is why you should collaborate with other channels.
[39:37] Bro, oh my gosh. I'm trying not to be caustic to, you know, it's my first TikTok and all. So I've been doing social media since 2005. Five so you don't have to but i deserve some respect for competence and excellence in what it is that i do and you know at my height i had like oh my gosh it was mad i was doing like 10 to 15 million views and downloads 10 000 books a month a month i had over 2 million subs on various platforms, and I was doing speaking to, like, I navigated all the way to the top. And so when you're telling me blindingly obvious stuff, like, maybe you should collaborate with other people.
[40:35] Been there, done that, that's how I grew my whole thing. In general, if you want to be around competent people, it's probably best not to lecture them on the blindingly obvious. Like, I get in this thing on X, just between us, right? Don't tell anyone X. I get on this thing on X, so somebody pompously tells me something blindingly obvious that I need to do, or they think I need to do. You do it wrong this way, or you should do it this way. And I go and I check, they have like 36 followers in five years, right? And I just repost, 36 followers in five years. And people are like, you can't disprove what he says based on the number of his followers. And it's like, yeah, I kind of can. I don't buy diet books from fat people. Like if you want to give me advice on how to navigate something I've been navigating with great skill for 20 years, I'm going to kind of need to see some expertise from you. And if you've only got 35 followers, bleh. All right.
[41:33] Bum, bum, bum.
[41:38] Why do politicians lie like Trump if they have the facts and know they can't pay off the national debt? Well, because of the media, right? The media will constantly reframe everything you do as awful and terrible if they don't like you and too many people just swallow whole the media bait and all of that. Here is a Stef bot that was memed for a fan who only donated a dollar. Yeah i mean i don't know if you heard this one feckin dollar um yeah i mean it's just just a again it's just falsehood so uh somebody donated two dollars and i posted a screenshot oh just of the donation no identifiable information and i said i don't mean to sound ungrateful but that's all i said i don't mean to sound ungrateful but right and now it's like he viciously mocked someone for donating a dollar it's like again just go to the source information there's also a rumor that i i had an alt account and pretended to be a teenage girl praising my review of the movie frozen it's like i couldn't i would never even occur to me to do that and it was a bug in the old google plus platform that when i posted it to google plus it ended up showing up under my name, under the youtube thing i don't know some weird under pipe that went on that way, so yeah i mean just i don't know silly silly rumors that that people make up and and other people um.
[42:56] Other people repeat why pay off the national debt if the federal reserve is a private entity why not just default what do you mean why not default because if the u.s defaults then people will start trading u.s dollars the u.s the value of the u.s currency collapses and they can't import anything uh let's see here but objectively those of us who've known you since around 2020 and learned from you did see what i don't know about that i don't know what i mean i feel like you got cut off there i'm just going to do another minute or two i thought i only had 10 minutes here and what have we been cooking for uh i keep reading grifters well it's very nice thank you for the new new people i appreciate that thank you for the rewards i appreciate that um claim your six new rewards what does this mean sure i will claim things couldn't claim excellent i appreciate no that's great uh you may tell users they can join your fan club for more benefits.
