2011 - The Year in Review

[hagbard72]

I'm guessing I was one of the six...for no rational reason either. Open-mindedness isn't Stef's strong suit.

[maximusfall]

waw, did I watched your work for 5,308 times ?!?!

maybe I should get a life or maybe you shold hire me for some constructive criticism ( after 5,308 views ...

no ? right canadians can't take any criticism ( proud to be humble, eh )

:)))

[PaperSoapy]

Can someone teach me how to use bitcoin?

[lindabebe835]

thank you Stefan. I love your vids and i too learn alot from you.

[andyissemicool]

Wouldn't get too excited Stef, at least half those video views are from me ;)

[Zerafinel]

Thank you. I approve :)

[crimsonsamuraiftw]

Thank you Stef and Happy New Year

[brandtproduction]

40.000 from sweden. thats allot for a countrie with 9.000.000 people

[Zerafinel]

@brandtproduction Yay for us. I think it's the godless upbringing.

[FreedomFighter1131]

I just want to say thank you for your contribution to philosophy. It is because of you that I am a voluntaryist.

[crimsonsamuraiftw]

@FreedomFighter1131 What's a voluntaryist?

[FreedomFighter1131]

@crimsonsamuraiftw from wikipedia: "voluntaryism is a philosophy according to which all forms of human association should be voluntary. This moral principle is called the non-aggression principle, which prohibits the initiation of aggressive force or coercion. The word 'initiation' is used here to make clear that voluntaryism does not oppose self-defense." Hope this helps.

[CrooksWithoutBorders]

Thanks so much for your efforts to illuminate the world.

[RockingMrE]

Great work Stef. Your channel is an inspiration - I cannot imagine my life without your pearls of wisdom any longer.

[HatterMadigan]

Make a year-end Podcast review... talk about yourself only.

[grumpone]

@HatterMadigan GTFO troll.

[HatterMadigan]

@grumpone

STFU dumbass

[RPFS2008]

4.8 million podcast downloads. Wow!

Unfortunately that's just 1 person who has downloaded each podcast once ;)

[halo2pc]

I want to thank you stef, for opening my eyes regarding 1. what impact violence during upbringing really has, and 2. how dispensable & destructive the governements all over the world are. Looking forward for 2012.

[tubetib]

Thank Stefan! I really appreciate your great work. I don't agree with you on everything, of course , but the important thing is that you make me think on my own. Wish you a great 20112!

[undeadpresident]

My year sucked ass, and next year is poised to suck even more!

[Sukshma]

whats a Unique Visiter??... lol  :)

[halo2pc]

@Sukshma

Let's say you have 100 unique visitors and your website has been visited 200 times then a certain number of the 100 visitors have repeatedly visited your website.

[MrStillmans]

Thanks Stef. You taught me that many of my problems with anger and wanting power arose from my parents' pitifully bad job of my upbringing. More people need to accept the reality of their weaknesses before they can move past them.

[elmaxidelsur]

plz do more videos that are less than 30 min please....

[regresseur]

@elmaxidelsur why not just make a note where you left off and watch the rest at a later time? and in firefox if you bookmark a youtube video with the time you left off at in the video as the title of the bookmark, it'll automatically start the video there when you open it.

[xsickzackx]

2012 is the year for you to release a full documentary on everything and watch it proliferate

[alagon]

thank you, stef for educating me on the cancer called statism.

[ProstoOsen]

And I thought I was the only swede here :-)

[brianmo180]

I don't mean to belittle the 1,366,130 web visits figure, but, to give you some perspective, I visit a giant pumpkin growing website the gets about 90 million visits a year.

[mindprism]

You are like a kindly priest beside the deathbed of human civilization -- if nothing else.

[yuppyguitar1]

Thanks for your efforts Stefan.

[BookofNick]

Thanks Stef, you've been enlightening to many. Now in 2012 I want to see you on The Daily Show, okay? Once you get out to a mainstream audience your message will be an unstoppable snowball!

[alistairproductions]

No Stef, thank YOU!

[jrgenkratz]

Nice, if you account for population size, you're almost twice as popular in Sweden as you are in the US.

[karlpokus]

@jrgenkratz Najs! :D

[inibo]

Good work, Stef. Here's to 2012.

[erdal0]

Wow, I can't believe there are so many people here that think that listening to a podcast show is the same like getting an education. In the real world you guys are going fail so hard. Keep livin the FDR dream. I can't say more.

[jcrongoXisXaXjerk]

@erdal0 Assertions assertions assertions. I won't say more.

[yuppyguitar1]

@erdal0 In a nation that passes off brainwashing for education, the process of unlearning the brainwashing is education. We're told to accept what is taught and Stefan exposes the lies. Nobody is claiming that removing the wool from one's eyes will lead to monetary success, but we're happier for having accurate perceptions about the world we live in.

[ignorantswede]

Wow, I was surprised that Sweden was so high up in the Geography chart.

Anyway, thank you for your work and it will be interesting to see what 2012 has in store.

[PurpleHoneyBear]

I thank you dearly, Stefan, for challenging my thinking, for enlightening me, for providing a different perspective on some things. You are a true gem and a great person.

[TheCristo68]

The best video i've seen on youtube in 2012 was " The story of your enslavement " .i've given the text of this video to about 2 dozen friends and familly .Absolutely fantastic .

[kamikazee55]

"adverdisments"

[Hashishin13]

@kamikazee55 English people pronounce it ad ver tiss ments, Canadians and Americans pronounce it ad ver tize ments. Technically he pronounces it in a more correct way.

[teawead]

@kamikazee55

"advertisement" dear!

[Trypermovie]

Teaching Logic to the world Stefan, one word at a time.

I am very happy to have found your web site as it gives me hope for "our" (the free thinkers) new world and that maybe more will now start to understand the conscious mind and it's place in reality and step away from the reactionary life many have grown so set in.

One day soon the children will play in a free world and not shackled by the fears and blindness of their parents.

[SunscreenAndVitamins]

You're one of my favorite people ever, Stefan. Just a beautiful soul and so highly evolved. I'm so glad I found you in 2011 and can't wait for your insights in the coming year!

[trenthouse1]

Gracias Amigo.

[jcrongoXisXaXjerk]

Can't wait to make my first donation, my bank account is transferring $ to my paypal as we speak so ill make it happen ASAP!

[GtheMVP]

Still think your video on mental illness is dangerous and frankly ignorant, especially considering your lack of a background in that field, but I do enjoy the majority of your work.

Happy New Year to you all!

[Nexus2Eden]

Best of luck in 2012 - keep up the fantastic work!

[davincij15]

hook up with a bitcoin address and I will donate.

[jcrongoXisXaXjerk]

@davincij15 you can donate by bitcoin just to let you know

[jcrongoXisXaXjerk]

@davincij15 here it is 1GJ3antfMZ5Kb3dSyAL6GH2gqWXLkk­hruB visit freedomainradio/donate to verify

[WorthlessCurrency]

@davincij15 his bitcoin address is at fdrurl . com / donate ie 1GJ3antfMZ5Kb3dSyAL6GH2gqWXLkk­hruB

[captainyoinksac]

@davincij15 looks like there's one on the donation page, see video description for link :)

[davincij15]

@captainyoinksac

Thanks I missed it at first glance it's hard to see at the top with the bright colored donate buttons.

[AnarchyEnsues]

@davincij15 bitcoin is not a safe currency yet.

[davincij15]

@AnarchyEnsues It's safe enough for me because I'm a software developer with skills to understand technologies and use the software and protect my wallet.

The only risk is adoption risk.

[AnarchyEnsues]

@davincij15 but compared to the US dollar, its not viable yet.

dont get me wrong, love the idea, but today it could be worth 10$ next day it could be worth 50c or zero

sadly that is the case today, until it because stable at least compared to a major currency, its not worth the risk imo.

[davincij15]

@AnarchyEnsues

This is true because there are more dollars in the world than bitcoins so a millionaire can easily manipulate it.

That is the free market but as it grows manipulation becomes more and more difficult.

Personally I want to cut myself off of dollars the way I see it there is a bigger risk of a bank holiday and a collapse of your dollars. When that day comes I will not laugh at you like a day trader as I am just a man doing what he thinks is best based on what I know.

[AnarchyEnsues]

@davincij15 thats fair, but the likely hood of that happening in the next 5 years is low imo, we are in a deflationary period, and they will continue to inflate base currency until that is no longer the case, there is still a long way to go before debt deflation has finished.

[davincij15]

@AnarchyEnsues

And what I know your belief is the general consensus and mine is the abnormal. I am ok with that because I get my information from the source. Helicopter Ben has done everything in his famous writings that gave him the Helicopter nick name except one thing.

That is he would close the banks for bank holiday and devalue against gold.

Do you man, do you, but if you get caught holding the dollar bag just remember I tried to warn you.

MSNBC says deflation it must be true.

[Stonegoal]

[bigboywasim]

Keep up the good work

[Nolen87]

Great to see so many people watching this now! And happy news years everyone! :)

[Spencerianism]

I hope, Steph, you can surpass Alex Jones the fearmonger of truth, and I dare say that truth statement loosely.

[JackofOneTrade567]

@Spencerianism I'm not sure if that was a compliment towards stefan, an insult to alex jones, or vice versa. rofl.

Anyways, keep up the great work stefan!

[robzrob]

Onward and upward! Happy new year.

[bushpigification]

Iv learned more from you than I ever did in public school, thanks so much :D

[jcrongoXisXaXjerk]

@bushpigification me too

[Panpiper]

@bushpigification Yeh, well, at least in my experience, that's not necessarily saying much. ;-)

[aaronCapricorn]

@bushpigification freedomain is a very small fraction of know-it-alls. see michael tsarion.

[newperve]

@bushpigification Talk about damning with faint praise! :>

[HatterMadigan]

@bushpigification

That's very sad.
