I don't listen to Stefan that much. Yes, some of his beliefs and statements are more radical and controversial than others. Yes, I'm sure he got numerous facts wrong throughout his speech if you really wanted to nitpick.

But, on the whole, his speech was DIRECTLY ON POINT.

I don't need to explain why. If you're on this forum, you should already understand why.

Wake up people.

Even John McCain wouldn't have a raging hard-on for war if he bore any of the cost.

''the choices of those who came before are not your physics, they remain your choice.

let no cloud of history come between you and who you can connect with, that is how history wins.
don't be what remains when history wins, which is nothing but a shit stain on the ass of the planet

You lead and I'll watch you walk away.
Stefan is anarcho-capitalist, typical white male bullshit.

What do you have against whitie? Other than the usual, you know, racist, sexist, warmongering, pedophile, wife beating, plaid wearing, themed party lovin bullshit.

Anyway, all capitalism is parasitism. It's silly to attack one particular form of parasitism in the greater context of a worldwide, systematic, heirarchy, socio-economic-caste based parasitism.

Is Stefan not a capitalist?

Edit: Just read this in another of your posts:  Smiley

The only thing Stefan gets wrong is that he's not an anti-capitalist (yet). Keep that in mind.

Perhaps he just hasn't convinced you that you're a capitalist (yet).  Smiley

Ah, the sweet feeling of having someone's political beliefs shoved down my throat...
I really doubt the rhetoric of Stefan Molyneux is helpful to further bitcoin's cause at this point. He sounds a tad bit like a lunatic, and paranoid at best.

So what exactly do you disagree with? Is giving power back to the people a bad thing in some way? Please elaborate as I am genuinely curious about how less war and sound money is a bad thing.

This is hands down one of the best Bitcoin videos I have ever seen. Thank you very much for sharing and introducing me to this person. I plan to watch a few of his other videos now.
Stefan Molyneux is a living sage. Dive right in, you're in for quite a treat.

I've learned so much from him. Or rather, unlearned so many lies, thanks to this human.

"Estrogen-Based Parasites" is still his best video to date.
No, it's not.

"The tyranny of illusion" is his best.
"Sunset of the State" is his second best.
"Bitcoin vs. Political Power" is his third best.
"Estrogen based parasites" is 4th or 5th best, I'd say.

By "best", I mean most important for the world. It's about the rarity of the truths held within, and how important they are for our species to understand.

Anyway, all capitalism is parasitism. It's silly to attack one particular form of parasitism in the greater context of a worldwide, systematic, heirarchy, socio-economic-caste based parasitism.

This is a great speach.
Possibly the most important speech in our lifetimes, for Americans at least.

his youtube got temp banned for this video
We actually don't know which video cause the temp ban, but I'd bet it wasn't a Bitcoin-related video.

My first guess is that a lot of people complained to YouTube because of his "Estrogen-Based Parasites" video.

Lol really?   I didn't even know you could get banned from youtube??   Obviously I figured you would be banned if you tried to upload porn or something like that, but other than that, or a video of graphic violence, I thought everything else was fair game...

Youtube is a pretty regular offender when it comes to censorship. They are a privately owned service so that is their right but it is also my right to seek out alternatives that more closely reflect my values.

Finally got around to watching it today. His words sound like some of the brightest speakers in the run up to the American Revolution. I suspect this technology will finally finish what they started.
Well spoken. Please share the vid with anyone you care about.

Thanks! Your signature is awesome as well by the way. I was forced to read Voltaire in college and got hooked on his writings. It is nice to see a literature reference in this reality tv driven time.
Reality TV, Facebook, Twitter.. our society is being systemically dumbed down. Personally, I do not believe this is a coincidence.


No wonder I was always in trouble at school. Incidentally the author's home town is less than an hour drive from my door step.

The part about intellectual dependence is particularly troubling. It does explain the sporting event nature of our elections and political discourse. The shouting down of opposing viewpoints and scoring political points with clever rhetoric is how we get presidents like our current one.
