VIDEO: HOW TO DEAL WITH VERBAL ABUSE
https://rumble.com/vmlvdc-how-to-deal-with-verbal-abuse.html
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.

What Ayn Rand Got Wrong!
Stefan Molyneux unpacks a compelling question from a subscriber about Ayn Rand's claim that epistemology is the highest branch of philosophy. He clarifies his argument that moral philosophy may actually take precedence, unpacking Rand’s view that reason equals virtue and serves humanity's flourishing. He challenges this correlation by discussing how individual actions, driven by self-interest, can yield success at odds with societal well-being. He explores discomforting truths about ethics and morality, highlighting contradictions in Rand's arguments and how unethical behavior can sometimes lead to personal success. Stefan also examines Rand's perspectives on societal obligations and the implications for individualism, questioning the effectiveness of a purely reason-based morality in our complex realities. Throughout, Stefan reflects on historical contexts and Rand's life experiences, advocating for a nuanced understanding of morality that transcends traditional ethical frameworks.
