In this episode, I explore contemporary issues sparked by social media interactions, particularly reflecting on societal recognition of truth and the personal toll of being ahead of the curve. I discuss the burdens of early awareness, the challenges faced in relationships, and the complexities of dating dynamics.
I critique the neglect of mental health in society, advocating for stronger support systems. Drawing insights from Dr. Pack Ogden, I emphasize individual agency in overcoming trauma. Concluding with a critical look at domestic violence statistics, I encourage listeners to confront uncomfortable truths as essential for personal and societal growth.

00:00Hello everybody, Stefan Molyneux from Free Domain. People wanted me to do more, I am
00:06your willing philosophy slave, so here is some more X or Twitter stuff. Mr. McGee posted
00:12a couple of days ago, performing a UPB seance to summon Stefan Molyneux back to X from the
00:21Netherrealm locals. There's a picture of me, some crime stats, Joe Rogan, peaceful parenting,
00:28and an empty egg carton. That is really the quad of troublesomeness. It's funny, of course,
00:36the Joe Rogan experience. It's so funny, occasionally I'll see these clips of Joe Rogan, who's complaining
00:45about all of the stuff that I was exposing like decades ago. He's complaining about it
00:52after ripping into me in a completely unjust fashion, after luring me back with promises
00:57of a friendly show, all of that sort of stuff. It's just kind of funny. Joel Berry, the curse
01:05of the Prophet is that they are right sooner than everyone else, they're scorned for it,
01:09and they never get the credit once everyone else comes around and realizes they were right.
01:13No, Joel, it's not that you're scorned for it. That's not the problem. The problem is
01:19not the scorn. The problem is the bomb threats, the death threats, the attacks, and the de-platforming,
01:25the attacks on income, reputational damage, which people have to live with. It's not scorn.
01:32Prophets, we can live, so to speak, with scorn. What we can't live with, or at least which is
01:39a tougher thing to live with, is not living. See, that's a little bit of a difference.
01:43And he says, Jessica writes, you're allowed to be a day ahead of the masses,
01:50but never five years ahead. Then they stone you for ingenuity. Credit is imaginary.
01:55So Jessica gets it, Joel doesn't, with all due respect, I appreciate it being brought up.
01:59But it's not scorn. Scorn is not an issue. That's the deal, right?
02:07So it's like if some woman breaks up with a guy and then he stalks her and attacks her,
02:15slashes her tires and sets fire to her house and so on, saying that the problem is the breakup.
02:22The problem is not the breakup. The problem is the stalking.
02:28All right. This is a funny little thing here. This sort of popped up on my feed, Lord knows why.
02:33This, shockingly, had a big impact on me. This little slice. And the most important line
02:42is not in this little snippet, but it's really an important snippet that when I watched it,
02:46I got goosebumps. And it, in part, helped change the course of my life.
02:51Clearly changing the configuration of the apartment. You're not going to believe it
02:54when you see it. A whole new lifestyle. What are you doing? Levels. That's what he's doing.
03:00Levels. Yeah, I'm getting rid of all my furniture.
03:02Rid of all my furniture?
03:03Build these different levels. You know, with steps. It'll all be carpeted. A lot of pillows.
03:10You know, like ancient Egypt, too.
03:11Like ancient Egypt, right? So he's got all these big plans.
03:15You drew up plans for this?
03:16No. No, it's all in my head.
03:18I don't see how you can get comfortable like that.
03:19Well, I'll be comfortable.
03:21When do you intend to do this?
03:23Right. So the skeptical question, right? Somebody... I grew up with guys who had a lot of
03:27plans. I grew up... I happen to be... I think Jordan Peterson talks about this. I think
03:35Malcolm Gladwell talks about this. I happened to have a group of friends in my teens who were
03:40very smart, very creative, and they had a lot of plans. A lot of plans. And I listened to them
03:47windbag about their plans quite a bit. So, Jerry and Kramer, right?
03:53Should be done by the end of the month.
03:55You knew this yourself?
03:56It's a simple job.
03:59Well, you don't think I can?
04:00Oh, no. It's not that I don't think you can. I know that you can't, and I'm positive that you won't.
04:06Right. So he knows that he can't, and I'm positive that you won't.
04:08The bit that's missing, which also struck me like an arrow to the chest, was he says
04:13something like... Kramer says something like,
04:17give me a month. And he says, I'll give you a year. You're still not going to do it.
04:25That certainty of knowing when somebody is all talk and no action. Of course, Kramer's life as
04:29a whole, like his whole life is a fantasy camp, according to one of the lines from the shows.
04:33Falls ass backwards into money, has sex without dating and all that, right? So Kramer
04:37is a intergalactic doofus, right? He's scattered and vain and this sort of 50 star dress and the
04:46ridiculous hair and all of that. He is a inconsequential, frivolous,
04:56semi-mentally ill doofus, right? So knowing, like there's just no character is destiny.
05:02This is character is destiny. I'll give you a year. You won't do it.
05:06You don't think I can do it? No. And so the typical answer would be, no, no, no,
05:10of course you can do it, right? And he says, not only do I think you can't, I know that you won't.
05:16It's not going to happen, right? So it's just a refusal to be drawn into other people's
05:21self delusions really actually was quite important for me.
05:25All right. This one from Honey Badger Radio, I think is really interesting. And
05:33it kind of goes, this woman says, she literally says, when a man sees a hot girl, he can't help
05:40but become a guy that will try to conquer her. I also think that, I also think even the more
05:46accurate base rate is enough to justify women's suspicions of men, right? Hot women see the
05:53worst version of men. Men are constantly pursuing hot women for sex, which makes it seem as if men
05:59care about nothing but sex and will cheat, et cetera, to get it, blah, blah, blah.
06:03So the Honey Badger Radio, this is Karen Straughan, I think in company, or at least it used to be.
06:09Can women, sorry, I shouldn't laugh. Can women please stop having an existential crisis
06:16over the fact that men are sexually attracted to them? That would greatly improve everyone's
06:19experience on planet earth. There's a typo there, right? Can women please stop having
06:24an existential crisis over the fact that men are sexually attracted to them? It's,
06:28yeah, strange. From a man's perspective, it's strange. And, you know, of course, it's pretty
06:34easy for women to deal with this, but the purpose of sexual attraction is for women to get a mate
06:41and to settle down, right? Get a mate and settle down, and have kids, and right then you don't have
06:48to worry about that stuff, because you've got a ring on your finger, you've got a bunch of kids
06:51around, and, you know, the occasional man might still make a pass at you, but it's going to be
06:55extraordinarily rare, right? So it's pretty, but if you want to keep milking your physical
06:59attractiveness for time, attention, money, and dates, well, don't be shocked, right?
07:04World of engineering, I thought this was interesting. To generate the same amount of
07:08electricity, a coal power plant gives off at least 10 times more radiation than a nuclear
07:12power plant due to the elements in the ash. Very interesting. This one, LA fire chief begging
07:20homeless people to stop lighting fires during wildfire disaster gets hit with online backlash.
07:24Yes, putting crazy people in society is kind of an act of war, right? I did all of this,
07:37the destruction of America's mental health care systems is a big presentation I did
07:43many years ago, and it is, yeah, people who are drug addicts, people who are schizophrenics,
07:48people who are psychotics, people who, I mean, to turn them loose in society is
07:54kind of like an act of war. It gets people killed, and there seems to be some fairly
07:59considerable evidence that the giant disaster of the California fires may well be the result of
08:08arson. And don't worry, though, we need the government in order to protect us.
08:16So I read some of this, this woman cures what therapists can't, Dr. Pack Ogden,
08:20it's possible to remain tied to your traumas if you apply his simple protocol.
08:26This, I think it's supposed to be this. So I started reading through this, right?
08:32The trauma is not healed just by talking. The body holds the wounds of the past,
08:36the wounds are not always enough to free it. Has your body ever reacted before your mind?
08:40A song, a place, scent, and suddenly your heart races, your chest tightens,
08:43your stomach churns. It's not a coincidence, it's your body talking to you. Yes, so if you
08:47are around the same stimulus as the original trauma, it's kind of impossible to heal,
08:54which is why I tell people to be honest with their parents or others who have harmed them
08:57so that they can break that cycle. And you can't have... This is something
09:05one of my business mentors told me many years ago. He said, it's pretty simple. If you have
09:09difficult people in your life, your life becomes difficult. If you have easy people in your life,
09:13your life becomes easy. That the quality of your life is dependent upon those you allow in,
09:19right? I mean, the quality of the band is defined by those you allow to play in the band, right?
09:27So if she was going to say, confront the difficult people, either get them to be
09:32less difficult or get them out of your life, but nope, it's all about meditation and stuff like
09:36that. So stats, domestic violence, orgs do not want to be common knowledge from fem condition.
09:42One in three men are abused, 57% of them by women. And it's probably higher. I mean, again,
09:51if you don't count children, right? The significant, not overwhelming, but significant majority of
09:58child abusers are female. In the early... This is Jeremy Kaufman. In the early 20th century,
10:05the average young man, a young American man worked 60 hours a week, spent 25% of his budget
10:11just on food, lived in a about 1,000 square foot house, had a job fatality rate 20 times greater
10:16than today, had a life expectancy of 63. Now, life expectancy, of course, is one of these funky
10:22things where if you take out infant mortality, life expectancy is still pretty... It's always
10:27been pretty long, but it's important to be grateful for the things that has occurred.
10:33This one's a bit longer. I'll do that another time. A leftist theater in Paris invited a bunch
10:38of refugees to attend a free event on refugee tolerance, and then they refused to leave.
10:43Migrants have now been squatting in the building for five weeks, and the theater is facing
10:46bankruptcy. So a lack of understanding of danger characterizes the left. The power of the haircut,
10:59I think I got this mostly from my daughter, but it is pretty wild to see how
11:03much a person can be transformed by a good haircut. It really is something.
11:11So yeah, I just wanted to do a little bit of a short show on this. I've got some more stuff
11:17bookmarked down below, but I will get back to you soon,
11:20and I hope that you enjoy this. freedomain.com. Take care. Bye.
