  • I wish Stefan would stop letting XOmniverse go off tangents. I was really surprised how XO just kept going redundantly about things like abstractions (having contradicted himself) and how concepts are more important than the essence to which it represents.

  • I don't think I have the ability to control his behavior in that way...

  • Very good debate :) I enjoyd and it actually were very useful to see, why some people do not like UPB, as if it tries to steal their free choice. It doesn't. Like Stef said, it's a framework, a method. You can like it or not, but it is truth.

  • thanks, I agree, if everyone liked the truth already, we would not need philosophy! :)

  • Whatever opinions you might have of stefbot, I can assure you, DackBev, that you are almost always a prick every time I see you comment on a video (and that includes my own).

  • It's not free when it's regulated and taxed.

  • @thevoice81111 What arguments do they have?

  • @themadhatter114 A rational proof for ethical theories is more accurate I think.

  • @thevoice81111 However, he makes him self known on internet, while I never heard of those people you refer to. They probably hiding in their state financed ivory tower.

  • So it's a framework for validating ethical theories? I thought it was a rational proof of secular ethics. That was the subtitle, after all.

  • I think Stefan Molyneux is a chicken shit. He never debates any intellectual theistic Philosophers like Dr William Lane Craig, Dr Keith Ward etc.

    He just debates lightweights

  • fun debate not very structured imo =P

  • @Colilace1 Its free if you openly consent to it, and you have the choice to choose another, make your own, or none at all. The system we have in the US isn't free because the government implies consent through the "social contract".

  • @XOmniverse still a damn good debate even after 2 years! it was enlightening :)

  • Are there any ethics completely removed from consequentialism?

  • 0:55:31 war = immoral, link please?
