Philosopher Stefan Molyneux digs into the true roots of political power and why intellectuals rarely challenge it the way they challenge religion. He answers a listener on credentials and institutions, and argues the state depends on beliefs rather than existing on its own.Questions:"how can sceptic rationalism contend with the intellectual cowardice and ideological capture that has plagued the evolution of its most prominent & ardent thought leaders from the early 2000 to 2020's era - figures such as sam harris , richard dawkins , christopher hitchens and jordan peterson"without a spiritual dimension, can sceptiscism ever evolve beyond its opposition to theism & apply consistent equivalent scrutiny to the rising secular dogmas of their own cultural milieu?""Is the state an emergent property?"My 10v1 debate in Vegas is coming up on November 16!

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux explains why humans are so violent by looking at our evolution amid constant threats of injury, disease and predators. He also answers listener questions on religious trends, physical books, real pleasure and ethical investing.Questions:"Some statistics show a higher % of younger generations embracing more conservative denominations. You commented on this church trend in males, but my experience is that these places also mostly support child-spanking, a strong centralized gov/ authority, and conformity. Thoughts?""Stefan, in a recent show you may have commented that the young generation no longer reads physical books. I’ve seen a resurgence of analog technology and physical books on the young as a way to rebel against streaming and social media, can you comment on this trend?""Received an argument that I was not articulate enough to properly answer: if hedonism is bad from the philosophical perspective, is caring for your family/community/yourself not hedonism since long-term it is a preservation of your (the selfish) genes? Ethical world=gene survival""Stefan, is investing in bonds unethical sense the interest payout is from cohesive taxation from future generations?""Stefan, can you comment on the current geopolitical conflicts from the religious lens? Orthodox vs protestants in Ukraine, Israeli Jews and American Christians vs Muslims in Iran; how much of what’s going on is motivated through the perspective of the faithful?"My 10v1 debate in Vegas is coming up on November 16!
