The Nutella Hype

Share

Before I start this I should preface it by making one thing clear:

Nutella is amazing!nutella_

Nutella is a hazelnut spread that’s delicious. It’s got a creamy, nutty, chocolaty flavor. I’m eating an ‘English’ muffin as I type this being very careful not to get the gooey brown goodness on the keyboard. I keep a jar of it in my pantry most of the time. It’s great and if you haven’t tried it, I suggest you go get a Nutella & Go for a buck and give it a try.

 

But Nutella isn’t that amazing.

Deleted BuzzFeed Article Titled: “The Bizarre Online Cult Of Stefan Molyneux”

Share
19/08/2014 – UPDATE: Molyneux, a man who claims he does not believe in intellectual property, had two videos linked in this piece removed, claiming copyright infringement. Luckily, I anticipated it, and wrote down what he said! Both removed videos have now been replaced with quotes of what he said. Enjoy!
– PD
Like all cult personalities, Stefan Molyneux cuts a superficially charismatic figure. Tall, bald and smiley-faced, the increasingly popular 47 year old Canadian runs FreeDomain Radio, the world’s most popular philosophy podcast. He’s interviewed people like Noam Chomsky; he gives public talks about economics, and he’s even been fortunate enough to have Joe Rogan helplessly nod in agreement with him for 3 hours during a nauseatingly fawning encounter. A self proclaimed libertarian anarchist, those who stumble across Molynuex will more than likely be greeted by videos in which he argues (poorly) for free-market solutions to the worlds woes: that everything, including law, justice and security, can be provided by an unregulated market system.
 
Fine. It’s just his point of view, and, agree or disagree with him, Molyneux’s online bloviating about a political system that’s never going to become a reality is at first seemingly innocuous. His followers are free to click, watch, agree, and tip their fedora in solidarity.
