About Freedomain Radio
Who am I?
Ahh, the eternal question...
I am Stefan Molyneux, the host of Freedomain Radio - and, let's be frank, probably one of the shinier philosophers out there.
I
studied literature, history, economics and philosophy at York
University, McGill University, and got my Masters in History at the
University of Toronto in Canada. I also spent two years studying
writing and acting at the National Theatre School of Canada.
I
have been fascinated by philosophy - particularly moral theories -
since my mid-teens. Now, over 20 years later, a voluminous amount of
mental sweat is finally bearing fruit! The Freedomain Radio
conversation is designed to solve the problem of the ages, which is the
definition and proof of a rational system of morality without reference
to religion, and without violating the "is/ought" dichotomy.
I
used to work as a software executive, but I have quit all that to
pursue philosophy full time. I have also written a number of novels as
well as one non-fiction book on philosophy - go to my book page to check them out.
Why should you listen to me?
An excellent question, I can see we're going to get along already!
First
of all, I am completely unimportant in the conversation. In my podcasts
and videos, I try to avoid opinions, and instead talk about proof and
rationality. If the theories I propose are reasonable, and are
supported by evidence, well and good, we have both learned something.
If not, listeners such as you are quick to point out errors, which I
receive with gratitude.
This approach is fundamentally
different from most "talk shows." I am a rigorous philosopher, and I
will always bow to reason and evidence. This is not a show about my
opinions, because who would care about those?
Feel free to have a look around and enjoy all the new features...
Only a half-hour in so far, but (Y)
I like the fact that it has a higher tension level than EA, but still manages to come across as entirely approachable.
