Stefbot I have a quick question: you said in this video:

.." [It's] not up to you, it's not up to me.... the reasoning holds if the beast is down"....

how exactly will it be determined if that beast is down?

thanks

[stefbot]

I think it has been doing quite well, I have not seen an effective disproof over the last year, so the beast is certainly staggering! :)

I didn't hear any logical proof of the existence of an objective ethics? All I heard is a bunch of bitching about Continental philosophy.

[stefbot]

It's a book bro.

[threebobs]

The book is free now!

No excuse not to check it out.

Wee! I loved watching you read to me!

All of this is so exciting!

I am so proud to be a small part of the discussion.

Thank you, Stef.

I haven't read it. I have gotten great summaries through Stefan Molyneuxes own summaries. I've been listening over 4mos now. Financialy tight, but the topic, author, gifts I've gotten....etc., I must buy the book. Ik, ik only (less) $25. My christmas gift (s) to me & those I love! Sorry rant, guilt, lol.

Sustaining force & needed logic in my life!

@stefbot

I can't stand it when people haven't read the book ask questions purposefully unanswered.

I plan to read the book, but I'd just like to commend your effort to even accomplish such a lofty task. This is a service that will benefit all of humanity if the message is at least transmitted. Success or failure will be greatly valued by myself and many others. Thank you!

Stef, reading UPB now, hoping for the best. To quote a great American philosopher: Git 'er Done!

The beast sounds like my bank.

Carl Sagan wrote: Our species needs, and deserves, a citizenry with minds wide awake and a basic understanding of how the world really works. Seems to me and a rising percentage of Humanity! This may only come about positively, if were basically secular, rational, liberal and civilized and too, for Humanity to credibly survive on well through this, our volatile technological adolescence.

Moralities strength is derived from the common sense of Human-kind and the on-going needs of mutual existence. Do as you would be done by. No dogma, cults or fades necessary, just realistic awareness, love of self and others. And maybe, acknowledging the abundances we already have and collectively should cease to squander!

Got on with it... I get get it. I should read the book.

Hey. I have recently been embarking upon philosophical thought. I am unemployed (shitty economy) and literally cannot rub two dimes together. However, I would really, really enjoy reading your book. I was just going to try to take you up on your proposition to send this book to whoever cannot afford it. If possible, just respond to this comment or email me. I can message you with my address, and will do whatever I can to help promote your channel, and i promise to donate money in the future
