Stop Being So 'Kind'!
25 February 2024 Sunday Morning Live
"Why do you think covetting one of the Ten Commandments? Why is it high enough of a priority to list among murder, theft or adultery?"
"Don't need a long answer but I'm curious. On episode 5417 why did you say that leading a moral life is ups and downs? I would think it’s an exponential curve- difficult for a while and then massive benefits."
"Stef, is it also a good argument to make that there's no point in debating people who would try to dismiss property rights by using instances like the bread example because at that point we are no longer in the realm of rational discourse. Would a society that follows UPB really have this problem? Is this bread problem really what is getting in the way of someone accepting that rape, assault, murder and theft are wrong? If so, no logic can help them."
"To what degree do you personally care about status?"

OnlyFans and the Paradox of Tolerance!
Stefan Molyneux delves into the paradox of tolerance amid today's divided society, highlighting the tension between economic incentives and moral principles—especially evident in platforms like OnlyFans. He looks at how people wrestle with profound internal conflicts and fatigue stemming from social demands and difficult childhoods. The discussion also covers changes in how culture gets passed down and what that means for those coming after us. Molyneux wraps up by pointing out the inconsistencies in tolerance itself, calling for a clearer grasp of the common hardships in a world shaped by money.

Atheists Can't Prove Ethics!
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.
