Bad Philosophy Questions!
I’ve loved your work for years! Just wondering—since you haven’t done as many public debates lately, how do you keep your skills sharp? Do you still feel like you’re growing? Thank you
1. Where will you answer this question so I can hear a response if possible. 2. Can you go into the classic concept of akrasia eg "weakness of will" and how our understanding of that concept has evolved with access to the fields of neuroscience, psychoanalysis, etc. With a particular focus on the topic of free will and how perhaps it is or isn't an outmoded concept. 3. Thank u Stefan Molyneux
Dear Stef,
Why is there something rather than nothing?
additionally as a tangential question I will also ask so as not to present the first question in a biased framing:
Why would there be nothing rather than something?
Detective Molyneux on the case~ 🕵♂️
What could you reasonably infer knowing only the following about someone:
They are confident in person, both around strangers as well as people they have a close relationship with; however, they appear specifically camera shy, despite rating in the top 10% of attractiveness?
Recommended areas to relocate while looking for a new tribe?
Can someone be low IQ and manipulative?
I have one question, first question ever. Try as I might, I cannot for the life of me find the study that I know you referenced many times.
IIRC, it was about parents lying about how often they abuse their kids, how quickly the "problematic" behavior resumes after the abuse. There were ethical questions because microphones were placed in their homes under false pretenses? Am I misremembering? Where do I find this?
What is at the edge of the universe?
Are you still a Randian. I've strayed to anarcho-Objectivism with common law chaser.
How do you balance the line of letting children be children and encouraging imagination and play, and not lying to them? For example, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
I do have your audiobook but have only just started listening to it.
Why do Democrats lie about everything?
I think your the great thinking mind of our generation, hands down!
I have a question. As an influencer do you actually think you have a serious moral influence? If so what would that be and do you think its any different to the main stream? Also what will it do apart from causing divide?
Give me some fucking crypto ya dog
Why do people stop growing when they are comfortable and what can we do to stop it?
At what point does playing along with society become selling out?

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.

Jeremy Kauffman Versus His Son!
Stefan Molyneux examines a parenting situation with Jeremy Kauffman and his son, focusing on a dispute about a dropped carrot. He points out how this reflects aspects of child development, such as finding a balance between obedience and independence, especially in boys. He notes that children's actions often echo their parents' and suggests avoiding rigid responses to pushback. Molyneux highlights curiosity in parenting as a way to grasp what drives children, which can help build connections and improve dialogue, while prompting a fresh look at typical discipline practices.
