“When you go with first principles, a giant light goes off in what you think is a city and turns out to be an insane asylum.”
Stefan Molyneux“The genuine values in America arose from rational thought and breaking with tradition, not from blind allegiance to dirt and cloth.”
Stefan Molyneux“Because the state uses violence to achieve its ends, and there is no rational end to the use of violence, states grow until they destroy civilized interactions through the corruption of money, contracts, honesty, family and self-reliance.No state in history has ever been contained.It’s only taken a little more than a century for the US – founded on the idea of limited government, to break the bonds of the constitution, institute the income tax, take control of the money supply and the educational system and begin its catastrophic expansion.”
Stefan Molyneux“The move towards the extension of personhood to children is already underway, and is utterly, completely and totally unstoppable!”
Stefan Molyneux“There is nothing that is going to make people hate you more, and love you more, than telling the truth.”
Stefan Molyneux“Anybody who tries to change society without first examining the family, is trying to push a shadow without moving a statue.”
Stefan Molyneux“The idea that the State is capable of solving social problems is now viewed with great skepticism - which foretells a coming change.As soon as skepticism is applied to the State, the State falls, since it fails at everything except increasing its power, and so can only survive on propaganda, which relies on unquestioning faith.”
Stefan Molyneux“I don't think it is a good mental health practice to fantasize that you know the infinite thoughts of imaginary entities.”
Stefan Molyneux“Bullying is an attack upon the runts of the litter - the weak of the species, and it is predicated on a lack of bond with the parents. If a child has a secure bond with the parents, that forms a force-field around the child in terms of bullying. If the child does not have a strong bond with the parents, then it's like being separated from the herd - those are the ones who get picked off by the human predators in childhood and adulthood. So keep your contacts as close as you can, they provide an amazing shield against bullies and users.”
Stefan Molyneux“Yes I pay taxes... There are no ethics in the face of coercion, that is blaming the victim. Focus on the man with the gun, not the man in the crosshairs trying to survive.”
