PRIVATE ONE ON ONE WITH STEFAN MOLYNEUX!

Stefan Molyneux is now offering private one-on-one consultations for business, personal, morality, parental or philosophical issues.

"I'm a long-time Freedomain listener, and have previously done two public call-ins with Stef. He is in-person just as he seems on the show- kind, empathetic, engaged, brutally honest and jaw-droppingly insightful. I recently decided to do a paid private call-in, because the one frustration I had before was the difficulty in self-censoring myself and not being able to explain things fully. Not so with the private call-in! The other calls were productive, but this one was next level. I had my husband on the call as well, and being able to speak freely helped our thoughts flow and get to the meat of things. We have so much to talk about now, and as painful as it is to grind through some of these ideas, we know it will lead to a better and happier family life for us and our kids. On the path to self-knowledge, Stef's insights are like a catapult launching you leagues ahead. You cover a lot of ground, and although the impact can hurt at times, you never want to go back. If you truly want a deeper and richer life, and you're willing to shine a spotlight into all the shadowy caverns of your mind and soul, call Stef. It's certainly the best money I've ever spent."

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 ...

(First off this might come off as bit of contradictory post but, stay me and comment if you’d like)

I woke up this morning thinking some stuff about people and my general outlook on a lot of stuff (likely prompted by listening to the first 3 hours of Malcolm Gladwells “Outliers” before bed. A bit deterministic though.) and thought posting this here would be the best of places.

Any way I had dream about serendipitously meeting a minor celebrity from most comedy based video game show podcast (The bleeding heart of said group) co-star now current host though less popular (even I rarely listen nowadays). We were after like a meeting or something in the traditionally professional sphere. Afterwards I made same chitchat with the a woman (a professional ethnic looking woman (Spanish/South East Asian/Italian/Greek adajecent) next to me who start to talk vapiditly and incessantly. Until tried to get in a word edge wise about the podcaster sitting next to her. Who seemed to over hear and looked a bit...
