As many of you have requested for several years, Stefan Molyneux has agreed to have an unmoderated conversational exchange and debate on the nature of philosophy itself, logic, epistemic claims, the value of “sense data” and empiricism, and much more! Tune in to his channel at 8PM EST followed by a Q n A. Not sure where this chat will go, but it should be lively!

Great debate (if you could call it that)! I’ve long wondered whether Stefan would convert to Christianity one of these days. I pray that Jay is the one who pushes him over the threshold! Keep up the good work.
Really direct and precise answers given by Jay and explained a lot of what he normally talks about in his videos. Hopefully all of Stefan’s YT subs watch this video or it goes viral.

Jay,
Speaking of “the dance,” a conversation with Robert Godwin, a Catholic psychologist in California who wrote “One Cosmos Under God,” and has the One Cosmos blog, would be amazing!

Excellent debate. I found something written by a Berkley professor back in 2015 about how Hume and the Western Enlightenment thinkers were influenced by Far Eastern thought. She mentions also how the Jesuits were the ones who loved to dress up as Hindus and Buddhists.
Plesee have a look if you have not seen it already.I have to credit the professor for her meticulous research, there’s a lot of gems in this piece. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/10/how-david-hume-helped-me-solve-my-midlife-crisis/403195/
I think it is imperative to study this more in depth. Western secular materialists and proponents of Darwinism like to pride themselves on rationality. But their beliefs end up agreeing with Far Eastern nonsense.
This is interesting to me: “She mentions also how the Jesuits were the ones who loved to dress up as Hindus and Buddhists.”
Of course this is anecdotal, but every one I know, and there are dozens and dozens, to a man or woman who went to a Jesuit College/University, started out as Catholic or Protestant, wound up becoming Hindus or Buddhists. We are talking several yoga teachers among the females and several Zen monks amongst the males.
So far, the only one of them who came back to the faith was my dad, but I’m not convinced he gave up all that Zen thinking.
The convolution of the objects with the number(s) is amazing. By Molyneaux, of course.
I am a philosophical novice, so when Steve talked of the missing seventh coconut, was he not implying the objective existence of the number seven? It is but one coconut, but it is the seventh in the set of coconuts. Therefore, seven has an objective existence.
This reminds me of the atheist Aaron Ra, whom said his drivers license is proof of his past self, lol!
A lecture on how the object isn’t the immaterial thing that it represents, would be a great lecture.
