Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes questions from Locals subscribers 26 12 2022!
Is “being a spoiled kid” a myth? is it just cope for not getting parental attention?
What makes a “normie”? Is it intelligence, personality, personal history..?
The history of philsophers series has been great. Could you do a video on William Molyneux?
What is the philosophy of play?
How does one balance wanting to help others with the realization that most people don’t want help or truth/introspection? At what point is it selfish to want to help others?
I think you’re wrong on letting babies “cry it out”. Maybe we can arrange a debate
Stef what do you think is the state of the economy. My industry hasn't recovered to pre 2020 lockdowns levels
Hey Stef, hope you and your family had a fantastic Christmas. What do you think about people who tell others to "cheer up" or try to make you laugh and get offended when you don't. I personally find it shallow as I wouldn't want anyone to smile at me unless they meant it
You’ve mentioned about the boomer phenomenon, could you explain more or point me in a direction of where you’ve talked about this in detail
How do I find the time between work and spending quality time with my children. I feel guilty at times with the amount of screen time that my children observe, but I don't have the energy to find and maintain creative ways to compete with tablets etc. I am a single dad
Stef do you plan to do new documentaries?
Anyone familiar with the term "strong willed child" ? I think my son is one. This is from peaceful parenting websites. Child has leadership traits, very stubborn.
Hey Stef, do you have any favourite painters or particular art styles? Is there any modern art you like?
Are workers getting a worse deal now than 30 years ago?
Stef any tips to survive in a bad economy in the west?

The concept of Universal Consequentialism 😱
A year ago, I presented a different view of consequentialism in this community, which is to devide the concept into rational and irrational consequentialism.
Here's a different approach to explain what consequentialism actually is, based on an example Stefan is providing in his book "Peaceful Parenting", chapter 11, page 153, timestamp 38:19 in the audio book. Quote:
"Since you are all very clever readers, you will be replying to me in your mind something along the lines of this: 'Ah, you say, Mr. Philosopher, that no one can accurately predict the future, but you also state that hitting children has negative outcomes!'
That is certainly true – both that I make that claim, and that hitting children does have generally negative outcomes.
However, we do not judge the morality of hitting children based upon positive or negative outcomes.
For instance, we know that state control of the economy leads to massive inefficiencies – but we don't judge the morality of state control of ...
