ok, probably nobody cares about this but i'm going to talk about it anyway because it does interest me. this is a perfect example of what happens when stefan molyneux debates an eloquent person who has a background in philosophy, knows what he's talking about and isn't intimidated by molyneux's aggressive way of arguing. you don't have to watch the whole 1:45 hour video but the final 10 minutes are highly interesting. up until that point, molyneux and the caller had been discussing some abstract hypotheticals (but not THAT abstract - they don't even scratch the surface of some of the shit i had to read when i took philosophy in uni in terms of abstraction and complexity). then molyneux gets incredibly frustrated and condescending (calling the debate "absurd" and accusing the caller of "wasting two hours of his life") and states that "philosophy is about practical realities in the world and processing choices that we have to make in the real world" and even that the argument they were having is "disrespectful to philosophy." of course, anyone with a very basic understanding of philosophy knows that it's complete and total bullshit to state that philosophy is ONLY about what goes on in "the real world."

so yeah, anyone who is still taking this idiot the slightest bit seriously should immediately stop doing this. beyond any doubt, molyneux's "philosophy show" is nothing more than a thinly-veiled excuse to utterly vituperate leftists.
