Why is UPB good?
UPB, or Universally Preferable Behavior, is considered good because it is based on the concept of a universal standard of truth, accuracy, and consistency. It asserts that there are behaviors that are universally preferable and that these behaviors cannot self-contradict. In other words, UPB promotes ethical principles that are consistent and applicable to all individuals. It provides a framework for evaluating and understanding moral choices and actions.
Why is truth good?
Truth is considered good because it allows us to accurately understand and navigate the world around us. When we seek truth, we strive for a correspondence between our beliefs and reality. Truth enables us to make informed decisions, solve problems, and pursue knowledge. It is through truth that we can build trust, establish meaningful relationships, and foster cooperation. In essence, truth is valued because it aligns us with reality and promotes clarity, understanding, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Can stealing be UPB?
Stealing cannot be Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB) because stealing involves the unwanted transfer of property. If stealing were UPB, it would mean that stealing is something that should be desired and accepted under all circumstances, at all times, and in all locations. However, if you want someone to take your property, it is not considered theft. For example, if you put your garbage in a bin by the side of the road and the garbage man takes it away, it is not theft because you wanted them to take it. Therefore, stealing cannot be universally preferable behavior as it contradicts the concept of unwanted property transfer.

On the Existence of GOD!
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux challenges the existence of God from a philosophical perspective, drawing on decades of study. He defines existence and categorizes entities into three groups: those that exist, those that may exist without proof, and self-contradictory entities. Focusing on the latter, the lecture critiques God's traits of omniscience and omnipotence, posing logical dilemmas. Additionally, the relationship between consciousness and the brain is explored. Ultimately, he concludes that God's existence fails to meet criteria of evidence and logic, inviting reflection on the implications of believing in a non-existent entity.

The Truth About Mouse Utopia!
In this Wednesday Night Live on 3 December 2025, philosopher Stefan Molyneux delves into the Mouse Utopia Experiment, or Universe 25, conducted by John B. Calhoun, exploring its implications on societal behaviors and psychological breakdowns. We examine the setup and outcomes of this study, where unlimited resources led to self-destructive behaviors among a mouse population. The discussion highlights the relationship between environment and mental health, urging caution in making direct comparisons to human society. We address the criticisms of Calhoun's methodology, the ethical concerns of using animals in experiments, and the relevance of these findings to contemporary issues like urban overcrowding and social isolation. The conversation encourages listeners to reflect on the necessity of promoting human excellence and combating isolation within our communities to avoid the pitfalls illustrated by the experiment.
