@spyletu Ron Paul serves a different function than Stefan. Stefan is a philosopher trying to educate people to fundamental truths; Ron Paul is a pied piper, bringing the masses to the point where they can listen and understand someone like Stefan. For Stefan to do Ron Paul's job would be as absurd as for Ron Paul to do Stefan's. They are different jobs, different functions. Running for office is not the only way to achieve change, and in Stefan's opinion, it is not even an effective way.

It's very disheartening to know that most of the worlds population only want to exists on a very low brain function, Not wanting to educate themselves, not wanting to push their own species further in evolution. As with ancient Greece I feel we will disappear into another 3000 year dark age. Knowledge has died many times, We could be so much more, Man's Greed has always been the problem, But then Greed is a natural part of biology, which gives ultimate in survival. At the expense of the masses.

Fantastic point: "Do they know that all of this was predicted". So many prefer to ignore the accuracy of libertarian foresight.

the referendum was a false choice to manipulate Greeks into more austerity. Euro or Drachma is not the question. It was a media stunt

Stefan Molyneux practiced a lot. And the result is significant. I hope to get out of my dreadful situation with my shattered c.v. and high IQ. At least I do understand now what’s going on. The spark I need to step out of Babylon and finally being successful, is given by Stefan Molyneux, Great work, thank you.

@DecassyJake Strawmanning is a concept.

@TheKab112 That statement is not directed at 17 year olds. Especially ones that have had nothing but public schooling.

It is directed at those that DO have knowledge. For example, the one's that have been supporting social security for their entire careers.

@holographicsentience You're clearly not critically thinking if you think his goal is to "restrict democracy." Did you watch the whole video, or did you stop as soon as he talked about democracy?

[TheKab112]

I'm a bit peeved that he said he used knowledge to judge intellect, with the "If you don't know that libertarians predicted this" - I'm 17 years old, I only know what little of Libertarian philosophy that I've learned in the past half a year, beofore that I was in public school, I just learned the term a year ago. I've always thought like a libertarian would think, but my knowledge starts and ends with Stefan here. And being judged to be not a thinker because of this. Doesn't sit right with me.

@DecassyJake Offerings us your opinion about Stef, wasn't the topic of discussion but I can see you might have difficulty deciding which Gaede channel to send people to. The one where he talks how 911 was an inside job or the one where he says the reason people are gay is because the ropes inside their head are turning in the wrong direction.

[DecassyJake]

@justintempler Stef is certainly pretending to be a philosopher..really he's a talking head..sorta philosopher. Should really be a politician..nothing wrong with having opinions tho..!

[justintempler]

@DecassyJake which Bill Gaede channel? The one he pretends to be a scientist or the one where he's a 911 Truther? GWLaden watch?v=2Mj6POZ-XxY
