Question concerning discussion from a prior livestream concerning propaganda. Your description of women being the victim of statist propaganda in regards hyper-materialism, surface aesthetic obsession, misandry, collectivism, etc. was of interest. Your explanation in my humble opinion sounded very much in line with leftist victimology.
Perhaps I missed something. Are individuals to be held responsible and accountable for actions in response to being propagandized? Seems you are most willing to blame vaccine zealots, statists, collectivists, communists, etc. Could they merely be excused for being propagandized? Please clarify.
Listening to your novel 'The Present' I should be caught up to chapter 20. Grim stuff. But great writing.
Hey Stef! I want to thank you for recommending the book, “Parent Effectiveness Training” in a recent live stream. It seems like fantastic resource peaceful parenting. I’m curious to know if you think anything is missing from that book or if you have any other suggestions for further reading. I’m recently married and we intend to start having children in the next year. Much love to you my brother!
Stefan, I have a moral philosophy question for you. Any thoughts on moral asymmetries? For instance, do you believe the presence of virtuous action in a person is relative to the power imbalance between the person doing the act and the one receiving it? For example: if a security guard treats an inmate with virtue, is it of more moral significance than if the inmate treats the security guard with virtue?
Having a lot of fears lately. I know I can’t keep my child in a bubble, but how can I deter him from getting sucked in to the stupidity of todays social media generation, as well as the overexposure to all the darker things on the web. How can we best prepare him?
How is your relationship with other personalities in the world of libertarian philosophy? people like Larken Rose, Michael Malice, Dennis Pratt, Tom Woods, or whoever. Is there someone you particularly like? or someone you don't like at all.
Hypothetical moral conundrums are insanely annoying.
Stef, why not try to come back to twitter at this point, since Elon?
Stef, I can't think of a single thinker who approaches anything close to your level of insight about such a wide variety of topics.
You're as good as the top Austrians on economics, you're better at psychology than most psychologists, you have tech skills, etc.
Humility is the opposite of pride, the modern world is dripping with pride, it's not taught or shown anymore
Look I just wanted to jump back in and say I'm sad you felt like going off on a tirade on me. i was one of your oldest supporters and now I don't feel like supporting you. it's a weird feeling. bye.
I struggle with criticism too. When I was a child, every criticism from my father was always accompanied by either verbal or physical abuse.
Abusive people around your kids?

Stefan Molyneux explores Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB) and how it fits into moral philosophy, drawing contrasts between atheistic and theistic views. He responds to a listener's criticism about depending on UPB rather than divine commands for morality, maintaining that ethics need to be rational and consistent. He points to historical figures who were atheists and led stable lives to counter the idea that existence without God results in disorder. Molyneux breaks down moral rules, showing how contradictions weaken their standing. He critiques certain aspects of current Christian ethics, especially government-run welfare programs, and considers what that means for voluntary giving and ethical consistency. In the end, he supports UPB as a logical base for ethics that matches human thought and the world around us.

Stefan Molyneux examines a parenting situation with Jeremy Kauffman and his son, focusing on a dispute about a dropped carrot. He points out how this reflects aspects of child development, such as finding a balance between obedience and independence, especially in boys. He notes that children's actions often echo their parents' and suggests avoiding rigid responses to pushback. Molyneux highlights curiosity in parenting as a way to grasp what drives children, which can help build connections and improve dialogue, while prompting a fresh look at typical discipline practices.
