They do not have moral responsibility until they've come across better information... This is why people are so hostile, sometimes, to philosophical arguments: because it creates an ethical choice in them that they did not have before."

"People who are in control of a particular ideology, and have people entrapped within that ideology, are very much into protecting their investments – and growing their investments. The dividends are enormous when you propagandize someone. You can't reason people into religion; you have to indoctrinate the children. The more irrational the doctrine, the more it is corrupt and undermines the minds of children. It has to attack the helpless. Ideology is an old sick lion: it can't hunt the healthy, it can only hunt the weak and the vulnerable, and that means children, always and forever. You let children discover religion on their own. You don't teach children conclusions; you teach them how to think, not what to think."

"Democracy is a system of bribery. And the only way a system of bribery of the general population can work – here's something for nothing, here's 'free' schools, here's 'free' health-care, here's 'free' pensions, here's 'free' roads – the only way that this can ever work is through debt. The only way that democracy can remotely appear to function is through debt. Democracy is debt. Democracy is predation on the unborn and the non-voting. It is the lending of the bankers on the future collateral of the unborn that allows for the existing population to be bribed in a democracy. Of course the government is going to do what the bankers want because without the bankers lending them money they can't bribe the population in order to get into power. Democracy is bribery; bribery is borrowing; borrowing is debt. When you have a system that is based on borrowing and debt, the bankers are going to end up in control of the system. The problem is democracy. The problem is the state."

'The root of statism is our view of children.' -- "Parents have no clue why they're telling their children to do stuff – it's just cultural photocopying over and over – and children get that very quickly. And children are hurt by that. Children are very hurt by their parents being revealed as not only false gods but very often as devils claiming to be good. The merciless light of the curious and optimistic child – the skeptical but not nihilistic child – that irradiates most adult souls. That combination of curiosity and optimism, questioning rationality – and trust... [parents] feel that children are aggressing against them... And so they have to convince the child that questions are evil... and fundamentally, it's because the child can see the truth that the parents don't want them to see. ...all of the parent's hypocrisies and falsehoods become clear and parents can't handle that and so they project all of their falsehoods and manipulation and corruption onto the child..."

'Shrugging off the burdens of your history...' -- "Our tendency when we're abused is to look at it as though it's personal: *I* was abused. But the fundamental thing about abuse is that it is anti-empathetic. You cannot abuse someone that you are empathizing with. ...abuse is never, ever, personal. It has nothing to do with *us* as individuals. Once we detach the personal from [abuse] there's a certain amount of relief because what we're describing is an unhappy accident. [Personalization] is what children cling to because if it's not personal then we're completely invisible – and children can't psychologically survive that. ...it seems like a universal survival tactic of children is to take it personally; it's the only way to create a bond when you're being [abused]. The defense mechanism that kicks in is: if I can take it personally, I can pretend to have control. We take it personally as a way of avoiding hopelessness, helplessness and catastrophic depression... "

'In order to seal you in slavery, your government must pretend that you were never free. It must shatter your true history into facile propaganda, into fairy tales that endlessly repeat the fantasy that your political leaders rescued you from the scary chaos of liberty. The murder of memory is the first crime of the State – and the source and sustenance of all its other crimes. Why do we believe this propaganda, these fairy tales? I submit that it is to avoid the knowledge of our own enslavement. Most people's beliefs are ex post facto justifications for the after-effects of brute power... We must abandon our illusions of Statist benevolence – not to save ourselves from the State, but from each other – from the festering resentments and predations that inevitably grow among citizens clawing and biting for crumbs from the political table.'

“In order to have thoughts of kindness for the suffering of others, you have to have accepted your own suffering. In order to have empathy for others, we have to have empathy for ourselves. Because if we are avoiding our own suffering or the suffering we have experienced, then we will inevitably avoid the suffering of others.

Freedomain: The Logic of Personal and Political Freedom -- The Gun in the Room
'One of the most difficult – and essential – challenges faced by libertarians is the constant need to point out “the gun in the room.” We hear nonstop nonsense about the “social good,” the “redistribution of income,” the “education of children” and so on – endless attempts to bury the naked barrel of the state in a mountain of syrupy metaphors. In more than 20 years of debating these issues, though, I’ve never met a single soul who wants to either shoot me himself or have someone else shoot me. I take enormous solace in this fact, because it explains exactly why these euphemisms are so essential to the maintenance and increase of state power. The reason that euphemisms are constantly used to obscure “the gun in the room” is the simple fact that people don’t like violence very much. Most people will do almost anything to avoid a violent situation. Just keep pointing out the gun in the room, over and over, until the world finally starts awake and drops it in horror and loathing.'

Freedomain Radio -- #1295 The Rise of Corruption Part 3 - Avoiding Self-Knowledge (MP3)
"The only knowledge we avoid is self-knowledge. Everybody already knows. When you say the state is violence, everybody already knows it. The reason we know that everybody knows it is the speed at which they get upset. If they didn't already know the implications, they wouldn't get upset. Statism is violence; there is no 'God'. You have to work hard to avoid that knowledge because it's so obvious. So what are they avoiding? They are avoiding self-knowledge: knowledge they already possess about themselves, about society, about their friends and family, about truth, about virtue, about integrity, about courage. All of these things. So when you speak an idea and people get upset, the knowledge that they are avoiding is not what you're saying but what they already know. They are reacting not to you but to themselves. If you have to conform to other people's bigotries or face attack and rejection – that's not a relationship – it's a cult. And everybody knows that."

"We don't live in countries, we live in farms. As soon as you get that you're on a farm, you don't want to produce for the farmers anymore. How do they keep people bound to their farm? They give people religion and patriotism, they make you afraid of immigrants [and thereby promote limits on immigration and emigration]... The way that I would keep my livestock close and relatively enthusiastic is I would tell them that family is everything. Family is the highest good. Loyalty to family is everything. 'Blood is thicker than water.' The whole family isn't going to leave. Keep them bound to each other. Family = virtue is primitive nonsense. But why is it so common, so omnipresent? Well, because if you're bound to your family then you're less likely to go to another farm. Promoting family loyalty is excellent capitalist livestock management practice. If you can keep these family bonds welded then people will feel free to leave but it will be functionally nearly impossible to do so."

Everybody wants to be good and everybody believes they are good. But when you say here's how to be good in practice – in the moment – they run screaming. -- ...to have the false-self self-praise of believing yourself to be virtuous but without actually letting the true-self work the levers of virtue in the real world... The hypocrisies and the pomposity and self-righteousness and self-praise that all goes along with a dedication to abstract virtue... There are no greater opponents to a set of ethics than those who steadfastly pursue them in the abstract and hysterically and angrily reject them in the real, in the present.

'Stefan Molyneux: "Thinkers who ignore childhood and its effects on the psyche, and then say they want to reform society, are exactly the same as communists or socialists who ignore the workings of the free-market and say they want to optimize economics – it can’t be done and it’s just a kind of scam."'

YouTube -- Freedomain Radio: 'Anarchy Q and A': The Freedomain Radio presentation at the Agora I/O Conference
You cannot argue against anarchy. You cannot argue against voluntaryism without using voluntaryism. You cannot argue against the non-aggression principle without using the non-aggression principle. You cannot argue against property without using property. You cannot argue against ethics without using ethics. You cannot argue against the scientific method without using the scientific method. You cannot argue against truth without using a 'truth'. You cannot argue against laws without using a 'law'. You cannot argue against rules without using a 'rule'. You cannot argue against universalization without using universalization. You cannot argue against argumentation without using argumentation. You cannot aggress against freedom without using and thus affirming the value of freedom. You cannot aggress against property without using and thus affirming the value of property. You cannot aggress against any body without using and thus affirming the value of your own body and all other bodies.

Freedomain Radio -- #673 Subjectivism (MP3)
"When you criticize people who just assert stuff, you expose the rage that is their violated true-self. This was a child who was attacked for being rational, who has not processed the agony of that, and as an adult, works to undermine the certainty of others in contradictory ways. People just make up anything to explain away their negative feelings. When people respond with subjectivity towards objective arguments it is because objective arguments make them anxious. This is what human beings do; it is what we are trained to do and it is desperately unhealthy. It leaves us crippled in the face of power. If you can't get angry, if you can't be objective, if you can't judge, if you can't stand on principle – then you are sheep. You are perfect fodder for whatever people with power want to do to you. That's exactly what they want; for you not to have access to objective principles other than this pseudo-principle that rejects all principles: subjectivity."

YouTube -- Freedomain Radio: The Origins of War in Child Abuse: Global Wars by Lloyd deMause
'The spectacular economic and political progress of much of the world in the 20th century was an achievement of the improvement in childrearing modes of the families that reduced child abuse, as more caring mothers began to give their children love and respect, plus were also able to reduce the jealousy of their spouses so fathers could be closer to their children. Yet because most 20th century families still abused their children, the improvement in industrialization during the century produced periodic "growth panics" during which adults re-experienced their parental abuse, and men went on more and more destructive wars to restore their masculinity and "get respect" from other nations. Plus of course the technological improvements soon led to a tremendous increase in the ability to kill others during wars, so that wars in the 20th century killed over 180 million people, mostly civilians—culminating in the current global-annihilation possibilities of nuclear nations.'

Freedomain Radio -- #660 Emotional Skepticism (MP3)
'What could be happening when people don't trust your feelings?' -- "Where you don't have a methodology for determining truth from falsehood, you must have a hierarchy... If you're not obeying reality then what are you obeying? Well, you're just obeying whim. And in the absence of an objective methodology, personal domination is inevitable. Happiness can either be the achievement of a positive or the withdrawal of a negative. If you're sharing your innermost thoughts with people who are negative towards you, I would say – just as the person is playing out something negative from their childhood – you are also playing out something negative from your childhood. This would fall into the category: My parents rejected my emotional state. You may be reproducing the pain of being rejected – in terms of your joy – by the person who was in your life who was negative towards joy. If you need somebody to confirm [your emotional] state, it's probably because they have too much power over you."

"Where are you going to go politically? American-style democracy? Look at gas canisters that are choking you -- 'Made in the USA!' -- look at the bribes of the American government that keep your rulers in power. Don't head that way. Egyptians -- stop choosing your rulers -- make the only choice that matters -- no rulers! 6,000 years ago, Egypt was the birthplace of the state -- wouldn't it be wonderful if, in 2011, it also turned out to be the grave of statism?"

Freedomain Radio -- #1484 A Theory of Marxism (2) (MP3)
"If you unconsciously resent the unjust and exploitative authority of your parents, and you project that onto the capitalist, you will not escape brutal authority – in fact, you will only intensify it. And that intensification takes the form of the State. If you are a slave, you can't escape. Involuntaryism leads to vengeance, to anger, to rage, to fantasies of destruction. Where we are not free to choose we become slaves to hatred. If you are not free to choose your companions then displacement, distortions, rippled subterfuges in rational thought, abandonment of empiricism, retreat into rank delusion – is inevitable. Because everything that you will believe when you don't have choice will be a mask for that lack of choice ... a mask to justify abandoning choice. If you fundamentally reject choice, you cannot have as your ideal a voluntary system. If you reject voluntaryism in your personal relations, you cannot sustain voluntaryism as an ideal in your ideology."

Freedomain Radio -- #1484 A Theory of Marxism (1) (MP3)
"What is it that goes on in somebody's life that would lend them to be more susceptible to Marxism? There is a strangely stale and dead relationship that is always depicted in Marxism where there is a factory owner, a bunch of workers – and nobody else throughout the entire economic landscape. There is also within the Marxist class analysis not much room for [the idea of social mobility amongst the classes]. The capitalists can't fall and the workers can't rise. It's all frozen in time. Why [would Marxists] accept that there's no competition for workers between capitalists unless they are [unconsciously] mistaking the employer/employee relationship for the parent/child relationship? [There is no social mobility within a family.] Children are children and parents are parents. The family is communism; the family is socialistic. From each according to their ability to each according to their needs... That is the definition of the parent/child relationship."
