HOW TO DEAL WITH VERBAL ABUSE
FROM A LISTENER:
People get "upset" when you brag about your supposed achievements because your narcissism and self-aggrandizement is absolutely blaring in this instance. How you don't see it as such an apparently intelligent person is completely mystifying to me. You did this hour long call-in show about why people point out your obvious narcissism, which is, in itself, highly narcissistic. You speak about self-knowledge, but you clearly have no self-knowledge at all if you can't see your own narcissism.
Your fuzzy math about how many kids you've saved from being abused is just hilarious. Like even if you have saved some kids from being abused, your ridiculous fly-by-night equations to get the numbers you did is just absurd. Like just say "I've saved children from being abused". Even I would agree with that, but when you try to quantify it with these ridiculous numbers, it shows how self-glorifying you are.
Even in this call in show, you ignore one of your listeners when he brings up the valid argument that in the show, you set up an impossible standard: you said that you'll only listen to criticism from people who can be shown to have saved children. As if that has any bearing on the validity of someone's argument. This is just a really weird Ad Hominem fallacy. "I'm not gonna listen to you because you don't work for CPS!"
The vast majority of people, obviously, can't demonstrably show that they've saved children from harm like some kind of caped superhero. That's an absurd, impossible standard. It's a complete fallacy. What you're doing is setting yourself up as being above criticism, given this impossible standard - as the caller rightly points out (albeit in a very timid manner).
The irony here is just absolutely astounding.
Is this what's become of the great Stefan Molyneux? Whining for an hour because of what one of his paying subscribers wrote on his locals page? Maybe it's time to think about retiring, man.

In Which I Fail! Listener Conflict
I would really appreciate your feedback on this!
In this conversation, I try to resolve a conflict with a listener. We discuss the nature of virtue and its relationship to action. Our discussion, rooted in the concept of Universal Preferable Behavior (UPB), examines whether virtue is defined by positive actions or the absence of negative ones.

EVEN MORE ANSWERS TO X LISTENER QUESTIONS - 5
Check out this podcast on X: https://x.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1963985841677816055
Stefan answers listener questions from X, exploring the philosophical essence of existence and personal responsibility. He discusses his intrinsic draw to philosophy, likening its influence to artistic inspiration, and emphasizes the importance of honest communication in family dynamics. The conversation shifts to epistemology, where Stef simplifies concepts like skepticism and truth in the face of competing narratives.
Stefan reflects on societal structures that mirror dysfunctional family patterns, advocating for individual agency in overcoming adversity. This leads to a critique of rapidly changing employment landscapes due to AI and the moral complexities of voluntary relationships like polygamy. Stef challenges listeners to consider the implications of their choices and the ripple effects on the community, concluding that honesty and personal responsibility are vital for fostering trust and growth in society....

PRIVATE ONE ON ONE WITH STEFAN MOLYNEUX!
Stefan Molyneux is now offering private one-on-one consultations for business, personal, morality, parental or philosophical issues.
"Stefan helped me work through the dissociation that I had with my relationships and past. The privacy of the call helps for speeding through your thoughts, and being more candid with your situation. One thing Stefan is good at is identifying where you are getting lied to and when you are lying to him or yourself to help clean up and move on."
“I’d invested scores of thousands of dollars in years of ‘therapy’/analyses —and even so, in an hour or two, Stef brought crucial unacknowledged issues to the surface for evaluation, which resulted in clarity and relief.”
"A private call-in session with Stef is invaluable. While I believed I could identify my own blind spots, Stef, with sniper-like precision, uncovers and explain them in a way that truly resonates with me."
