The Philosophy of Forgiveness! Twitter/X Space
Tuesday Afternoon Twitter Space 24 June 2025
This lecture examines the complexities of forgiveness, arguing that it should be earned rather than given freely. Stefan Molyneux discusses the risks of unearned forgiveness, illustrating how it can lead to a lack of accountability and perpetuate harmful behaviors. He critiques societal pressures to forgive for personal peace and highlights the importance of genuine restitution, which involves acknowledgment of wrongdoing and corrective actions. The lecture further explores the implications of forgiveness in relationships, the nature of apologies, and the need for moral responsibility across generations. Through audience interactions, Molyneux emphasizes the importance of navigating forgiveness with ethical integrity and mutual respect, ultimately urging listeners to reconsider their understanding of forgiveness as a process grounded in moral accountability rather than emotional obligation.

MORE ANSWERS TO ‘X’ LISTENER QUESTIONS!
Hi Stef, I've been wondering: If love is an "involuntary response to virtue," how can a parent love an infant? Can't animals display virtues, at least in a rudimentary fashion, as much as babies? Thanks
I believe that individualism vs collectivism is the issue beneath all issues and that adopting a “content of character” mindset rather that a “judge by immutable characteristics” mindset, is the only peaceful and prosperous path forward for humanity. Most people are decent, and if we separated the world by decent people vs assholes there would be a lot less incentive to be assholes. Thoughts?
Does philosophy come more naturally to honest people who are naturally attuned to the truth?
Is it moral for a man to give his son a leg-up?
- a good home with a loving mother
- a virtuous example
- a free college education
- help with a home or business?
Or is that unfair to another child from a poor and broken home?
Can UPB define truth?
i.e. it's the interpretation that could be useful to everyone.
Do we have a moral duty to fight evil and pursue virtue?
Are humans LLMs, with an extra mechanism on top ?...
