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.

A listener call from 2019!
Stefan Molyneux speaks with a caller about her transition from liberal ideas to a conservative skepticism. She looks back on how social justice stories molded her earlier views and the strain of conforming in group settings. They talk over her time in a liberal college atmosphere that pushed her to question her politics, including the role of men in feminist debates and media takes on events like Black Lives Matter protests. The chat points to the value of checking out varied opinions and keeping discussions civil amid divisions.
