3392 HIT THE NAIL ON THE COFFIN - Call In Show - August 24th, 2016

from Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux | Podcasts 3000-3499

Question 1: [2:37] - “I have been fortunate to find individuals like you who challenge my thoughts. After losing my 16-year-old cousin to gang violence. I found myself thinking deeply how to fix the south side Chicago area, but slowly found the truth of why it is so difficult to do. If the racial climate in America continues where do you see our great country headed?”Question 2: [54:21] - “One of the most difficult moral dilemmas I've been attempting to so solve is the limits of moral integrity. The impetus for this dilemma was spawned by the movie The Dark Knight. In the movie, as the Joker speaks to Batman about the police, he says, ‘See, their morals, their code... it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you, when the chips are down, these... these civilized people? They'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster, I'm just ahead of the curve.’ This is a recurring theme in the movie--the idea that people are corruptible under the right circumstances. Depending on the person, when situations become desperate enough, they will abandon their morals. “Must a person abide by petty morality even when there is much at stake? For example, let's say that a madman is chasing after a man, and the man runs into my house to hide. Meanwhile, the madman comes knocking on my door, describing the man and asking me if I've seen him. Would it be wrong to lie in this circumstance in order to divert the madman and prevent him from killing the fleeing man?”“Additionally, must a person always be moral even when it involves the most frivolous circumstances? For instance, let's say that I need a pencil and I see that my roommate has one laying on his desk. If I took the pencil, then it would be considered stealing, but must I really abide by ethics in this case?”Question 3: [1:27:27] - “How do we fight liberal media? What actions can we take to put them out of power? What is the most effective action we can take? How can we convince people around of the corrupt media?”Question 4: [2:07:28] - “Where do you see the free market heading if Hillary Clinton gets elected into office?”Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
