The debate resolution was Be it resolved, it is in Israel’s interest to support a two-state solution Arguing in favour of the resolution was former Israeli prime minister, finance minister, and mayor of Jerusalem, Ehud Olmert. His debate partner was Tzipi Livni, who served as Israel's justice and foreign minister and the country's chief peace negotiator in 2008 and 2014. Arguing against the resolution was the celebrated historian, former Israeli ambassador to the United States and deputy minister in the Prime Minister's Office, Michael Oren. His debate partner was Ayelet Shaked, who most recently served as Israel's justice minister and minister of the interior. As with all our live Munk Debates, the audience voted on this resolution prior to hearing the debate. Initially, 67% of attendees voted in favour of the debate motion, and 33% voted against.

In preparation for a debate on spanking, philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines the ethical complexities of spanking as a disciplinary method for children. He opens with personal reflections in anticipation of a debate, then critiques the moral justifications for physical punishment. Arguing against the power dynamics that permit adults to hit children, he highlights societal inconsistencies in attitudes towards aggression. He challenges the logic of punishing those who cannot reason and emphasizes the efficacy of non-violent discipline methods, supported by research showing better outcomes in children raised without physical punishment. Additionally, Stefan critiques historical views on child behavior and advocates for a societal shift towards recognizing children's rights and dignity, envisioning a violence-free future.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Historical Influences: Bismarck and Realpolitik: Colleague Geoffrey Roberts discusses how Stalin studied Bismarck as a fellow modernizer who executed a "revolution from above" to build a strong state, arguing that regarding Machiavelli, Stalin did not need The Prince to learn cynicism or power politics, as he had already learned those lessons effectively from Bolshevik mentors like Lenin and Trotsky. 1935

Supreme Court Enables Partisan Gerrymandering: Colleague Richard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court permitting Texas to redraw congressional districts for 2026, favoring Republicans, arguing that lack of oversight allows parties to entrench power, creating extreme polarization where "reds become redder and blues become bluer," making legislative compromise nearly impossible. 1910 SCOTUS

 Nuclear Ambitions in South Korea: Colleague Henry Sokolski reports that South Korea is requesting nuclear-powered submarines and enrichment rights, raising concerns about potential nuclear proliferation, with some arguing this could lead to a confederation with the North or US withdrawal, while others prefer Seoul invest in American nuclear facilities to strengthen the alliance. 1953

PREVIEW: Assessing Military Conduct in the September 2025 Incident: Colleague Richard Epstein discusses the US military's destruction of a boat carrying 11 people in September 2025, arguing that regardless of unknown details—such as the presence of drugs or children—firing on defenseless individuals violates military codes of conduct and constitutes a "desperate form of illegality" requiring accountability.

Send us a textWelcome back to the show! I'm so grateful you're here! And I'm so happy to have my voice back to normal after an icky cold that I may have rambled a bit more than usual – hahaha! But today, we're talking about something many families do without ever naming itn - recreational arguing. You know the dynamic: nothing is actually wrong, but yet somehow you're in a debate about tone, or not listening, or why someone “waited until now” to mention something. But underneath the surface-level conflict is something surprisingly human: connection attempts very ungracefully disguised as friction.I walk through why teens (and adults) use tension to create closeness, how patterns from childhood homes show up in present-day relationships, and why some people only feel seen when things are slightly dramatic. We talk about how conflict can become ritualized, how certain personalities need emotional activation before they can bond, and why disengaging can change the entire system.This isn't an episode about fixing anyone. It's about understanding the function behind the friction, and remembering that sometimes a raised voice isn't hostility – it's actually a clumsy, but familiar, way to reach for connection. And when you can see it clearly, you don't have to take the invitation to argue to still meet the need underneath it.Thank you for listening and being part of this community! Let's get social.

Shanda didn't believe her boyfriend's little mid-century Austin house held anything darker than outdated wiring or a few creaky floors. Built in the 1950s, remodeled to death, colorful, quirky—nothing about it screamed haunted. And yet the moment she stepped inside, she felt something beneath the bright paint and modern upgrades. Not evil. Not angry. But aware. Then she saw her. A tall, thin woman in a pale pink gown, standing perfectly still in the living room, watching from the shadows as if she belonged there. By the time her boyfriend turned around, the apparition was gone—but the house wasn't finished with her. Objects moved on their own. Items vanished only to reappear across the room in impossible places. Footsteps whispered through the walls at night. A man's voice. A boy's voice. Arguing. Always arguing. Years later, she still wonders what truly lived in that house—because some hauntings warn you. Others protect you. And some blur the line between both. #ghoststory #paranormal #hauntedhouse #truespiritstory #realghoststories #ghostencounter #shadowfigure #haunting #supernatural #ghosts #theunexplained Love real ghost stories?

The Flawed Logic of the FTC's Crusade Against Meta — Jessica Melugin — Melugin analyzes the failed FTCcomplaint against Meta, arguing the agency fundamentally abandoned the "consumer welfare standard" governing antitrust doctrine to prioritize competitor protection over demonstrable consumer harm. Melugin emphasizes that the FTC's characterization of Meta's acquisitions as anti-competitive ignores the critical reality that Meta services are provided at zero cost to users, who have demonstrably benefited from continuous service improvements and technological innovation arising from Meta's competitive acquisitions. 1954

Socialism Comes to New York — Cliff May — May critiques New York City Mayor-elect Momdani's socialist-oriented policies, arguing that aggressive rent freeze mechanisms systematically diminish housing stock availability, reduce construction incentives, and undermine long-term affordability through supply contraction. May warns that additional socialist initiatives including fare-free public transportation and police defunding drive middle-class residents toward suburban and exurban jurisdictions. May cites Venezuelan economic collapse and continuing socialism failure across multiple jurisdictions as empirical evidence that socialist economic models fundamentally cannot function effectively in complex modern capitalist economies like New York City. 1888 five points

Most parents know what goes into raising children: the time spent changing diapers in inopportune places; the hours of worrying—about what to feed them, how to educate them, how to protect them and keep them healthy; the countless hours devoted to dance classes, summer camps, pediatricians, and piano lessons—all investments meant to give them the best chance in life. Most of us would do anything to help our kids become the most successful and happiest versions of themselves. But what if we could start earlier? At the molecular level. What if we could ensure our babies were healthier, smarter, and stronger, before they even took their first breath? Right now, several biotech companies are doing just that. They offer embryo screening for couples undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). These companies don't just score embryos for disease risk, which has become standard practice for anyone undergoing IVF—they go further. Nucleus Genomics promises “optimization” of traits like heart health and cancer resistance, as well as intelligence, longevity, body mass index, baldness, eye color, hair color, etc. It even suggests it may predict a predisposition to become an alcoholic. In the future, we may be able to more than just screen and select. We'll be able to make tweaks to our own embryos in order to “optimize” them. This isn't something out of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. It's the very real, and near, future. Some would argue it's already here. It all creates profound and critical questions. So we hosted a debate: Is it ethical to design our unborn children? And are we morally obligated to do so when the risks of abstaining include serious diseases? Or does designing babies cross a line? Is it wrong to play God and manipulate humanity's genetic heritage? Arguing that designing babies is not only an ethical choice, but indeed a moral imperative, are Jamie Metzl and Dr. Allyson Berent. Jamie is a technology and healthcare futurist, who was a member of the World Health Organization Expert Advisory Committee on Human Genome Editing. He's also written several best-selling books on this subject, including Hacking Darwin: Genetic Engineering and the Future of Humanity. Allyson is a veterinarian who has become an incredible force for genetic research since her daughter, Quincy, was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome. She serves as chief science officer of the Foundation for Angelman Syndrome Therapeutics and chief development officer at a biotechnology company, where she helps accelerate gene therapy programs for Angelman syndrome. Arguing that designing babies is unethical are O. Carter Snead and Dr. Lydia Dugdale. Carter is a bioethicist and law professor at Notre Dame. He served as general counsel to the President's Council on Bioethics under George W. Bush and as an appointed member of UNESCO's International Bioethics Committee. He is also an appointed member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, which advises the pope on bioethics. Lydia is a physician, medical ethicist, and professor of medicine at Columbia University, where she serves as director of the Center for Clinical Medical Ethics. She is also Co-Director of Clinical Ethics at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. It's a critical debate you won't want to miss.  The Free Press is honored to have partnered with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression to present this debate.

In After Transformation, Maia Kotrosits offers a lyrical history of Christian late antiquity as it lives on in and with the present. Recasting the monumental changes that occurred between the second and fourth centuries, when Rome transitioned from pagan to Christian worship, Kotrosits presents a condensed and evocative meditation on the profound effects of Christian imperialism across time and geography. She employs a collection of forms ranging from micro-essay and vignette to poem and fragment to capture human struggles with time and change, showing how the mundane and intimate details of our lives can themselves be conduits of historical knowing. Arguing for lyricism as a method, Kotrosits reclaims vulnerability, urgency, and storytelling in historical work to model new ways of writing the past and experiencing ourselves more fully in time. Above all, After Transformation is about the ironies of the ways that history is written against the reality of the ways that history is lived.

In Scotland, there are hills full of sheep. If you watch closely, you can see sheep doing a lot of things - but there is one thing I've never seen a sheep do: look up at the sky.  You can have a brilliant sunrise in the sky, or there can be a million shining stars with a glorious full moon, but the sheep never look up - in most cases there faces are always in one position: looking down at the grass.This is a picture of a lot of men. The Bible pulls back a curtain so that we can lift our mind to glorious realities, but so many of us never do so. We're stuffing our faces like sheep when we could be contemplating the throne of God like angels.In this episode, Richard Baxter helps us identify the hindrances and helps of a heavenly mind.Hindrances:Living in known sin Earthly-mindedness Hanging out with ungodly Arguing too much over secondary stuff e.g. theology and politics LazinessTalking about Christ instead of Delighting in HimHelps:Genuine ConvictionsPersonal AssuranceProximity to heavenSpiritual FriendshipA Sanctified ImaginationThe Means of GraceBodily Discipline

We answer a bold comment from a seasoned police officer who claims he's never lost a case—and apparently, lawyers fear him at the courthouse doors. Hey everyone, welcome back to Lawyer Talk! Steve and Troy talk about the realities of dealing with police on the street, especially when it comes to handing over your ID or deciding whether to stand your ground.You'll hear Steve talk candidly about why challenging a cop during a traffic stop almost never works out in your favor, and how a little courtesy goes a long way both roadside and in court. And just to clear things up, Troy asks whether lawyers actually beg officers for plea deals—or if that's just cop talk.It's a real, no-nonsense conversation with plenty of personal stories, practical advice, and some good-natured banter between lawyer and student. Let's get into what happens when you're face-to-face with experience, authority, and the law itself!Key Takeaways:Comply First, Challenge Later: Steve emphasizes that the side of the road is not the time to debate a police officer's authority. If given a lawful order, compliance can avoid additional charges. Disputes are best resolved in court, not during the initial encounter.Respect and Professionalism Matter: Both highlight that maintaining respect—whether you're a lawyer, defendant, or officer—can positively influence outcomes. Simple gestures, like providing an ID and staying courteous, often lead to smoother interactions.Negotiating Plea Deals Involves Many Parties: Steve clarifies that while prosecutors typically handle plea bargains, police officers can influence case negotiations. Treating everyone involved respectfully can make a crucial difference, especially if an officer's input is needed for a favorable resolution.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

       Indian Judge Rabhabinod Pal wrote a massive dissent, arguing the court lacked legitimacy due to the dominance of imperial powers. Pal, who focused heavily on racism and colonialism, questioned the evidence of Japanese atrocities at Nanjing. During the 1948 executions, army defendants chanted "Banzai" (Long live the Emperor). The US Supreme Court upheld the military commissions by narrowly refusing jurisdiction.

The Consciousness Debate: Cosmic Field or Biological Marvel?Where does consciousness come from? Is it a mysterious energy field we tune into, or a magnificent product of our own biology? In this gripping episode of The Debate, we dive headfirst into the ultimate riddle, pitting two fundamentally opposed views against each other in a clash of science, philosophy, and profound human experience.Arguing for the revolutionary “consciousness field” model, our first speaker posits that consciousness is a fundamental, non-local force woven into the fabric of the cosmos—a cosmic internet to which the brain is merely a biological antenna. Drawing on the insights of quantum pioneers like Max Planck and Erwin Schrödinger, this perspective suggests we don't create consciousness, but rather filter it from a universal source. This radical idea promises to explain everything from sudden genius to what happens when we die.Challenging this is the emergent view, which grounds consciousness firmly in the living body. Here, consciousness isn't a signal from the void, but a stunning achievement of biological self-organization. Through the lens of "autopoiesis," our second speaker argues that mind arises from the brain's constant, dynamic interaction with the world—a complex dance of neurons, senses, and environment that actively brings forth our reality.The debate ignites over extraordinary evidence. How can we explain the instant mathematical genius of Srinivasa Ramanujan, who claimed his formulas were divine gifts in dreams? Or acquired savants who gain profound musical or artistic abilities after a head injury? Is this a "download" from a universal field, or simply the unlocking of the brain's own dormant potential?The confrontation reaches its peak with the mystery of near-death experiences. Can consciousness exist when the brain has shut down? One side sees proof of a mind leaving the body; the other points to plausible, if extreme, neurological explanations. The discussion expands to encompass quantum entanglement, the structure of ant colonies, and the very nature of reality itself.This is more than an academic exercise. It's a profound inquiry into who and what we are. Are we transient biological machines, or eternal fragments of a universal mind? Join us for a journey to the frontier of science and spirit, where the answers we seek could redefine the very nature of existence.Keywords: #Consciousness #Emergenttheory #NonLocal #Consciousness #Panpsychism #Neuroscience #Quantum #Physics #NDE #Savant #HardProblem #Podcast #Debate.

Ahmad Fouad Alkhatib discusses the high probability of renewed conflict in Gaza, arguing that the ceasefire is fragile due to Hamas's malign intentions. He estimates Hamas's combat-effective forces are significantly lower than reported (3,000 to 5,000, versus 15,000 to 30,000), noting Hamas pays fighters $20 to $25 a day. He also challenges polls showing widespread Gazan support for Hamas, arguing such results are manipulated and defy logic given the catastrophe following October 7. Disarmament is crucial for any future political process. 1898

    HEADLINE: AI Regulation Debate: Premature Laws vs. Emerging Norms GUEST NAME: Kevin Frazier SUMMARY: Kevin Frazier critiques the legislative rush to regulate AI, arguing that developing norms might be more effective than premature laws. He notes that bills like California's AB 1047, which demands factual accuracy, fundamentally misunderstand AI's generative nature. Imposing vague standards, as seen in New York's RAISE Act, risks chilling innovation and preventing widespread benefits, like affordable legal or therapy tools. Frazier emphasizes that AI policy should be grounded in empirical data rather than speculative fears. 1960
