Stefan Molyneux – The Handbook Of Human Ownership – A Manual For Tax Farmers

Philosophical, , , ,

Here’s another Stefan Molyneux video for you. I really like this one and listened to it three times in two days when I first found it. Because it’s quite long, I think Stefan spent his time on the audio content and grabbed some public domain video for the background, which doesn’t always match the topic being discussed. Therefore, I treat this as a podcast – for audio purposes only.

It is narrated in the style of a teacher explaining to a new ruler of a country who is in training, how they should proceed in order to keep the masses enslaved and themselves enriched via the production of the masses. He makes some particularly pertinent points regarding the origins and aims of feminism and the indoctrination of children within the state school system.

I imagine that for some people, this video may come across as incredibly boring or depressing. It’s one of those things that is difficult for me to judge. But for myself, it’s perfect for the stage I am at in my self education and personal development. Recently, I have made big strides in avoiding mainstream media (online newspapers) and television news and other TV programming. It’s this kind of stuff that I am replacing it with, often listening to it in the background as I complete other tasks.

I hope that some of my blog readers may gain something from this kind of material. If you do enjoy it or get anything from it, please leave me a comment below, letting me know.

Stefan Molyneux – Statism Is Dead (part 3) – The Matrix

Philosophical, , ,

 

In this video Stefan explains historical examples of states and empires and elaborates on the different classes –  the ruling class, the slave/working class, the brutalising class and the propagandising class.

He talks about how excess productivity and the enclosure movement caused changes to our societies and what those changes were, plus their effects, including the industrial revolution.

One of the conclusions reached is this –

The opposite of superstition and ideology – of statism – is philosophy.

I highly recommend this video (along with Stefan’s ‘The Story Of Your Enslavement‘ video) for anyone who is relatively new to this way of looking at the world and who wants to expand their perspective, develop clearer thinking and learn more about philosophy.
