You are a powerful , inspirational teacher that has gotten my complete attention !
One question comes to mind : Is the concept of morality something that can be universally recognized and practiced – Or would one persons’ morality , be another persons’ Immorality ?
Maybe you cover this in other videos – I’ll enjoy fulfilling myself with the wealth of information you so eloquently provide !
If you’re at 70% – man , I can’t imagine 100% – the light would be blinding – will need sun glasses !
Question: suppose this is not your cousin, but rather, your mother or father who has deeply immoral views?
The respect I have for you for putting up these kinds of videos on Youtube is really indescribable. You’re a huge inspiration and role model. It’s such an inspiration to watch and listen to a video about rational principles, virtues, and values from someone who seems to exemplify the role of the true philosopher. You’re great. Please don’t stop!
I have never seen a child “abused.”
But you have made a good point in what you have said, never thought of it that way.
@MRSketch
I guess the way I see it, is that if I as an adult am scared of a person who might give me some verbal abuse, but that i can walk away from at any moment, so scared that it stunts me in my efforts to say anything to the abuser, then I can only just begin to imagine how scared that child must feel, who is stuck with the abuser all the time and is totally powerless against him/her.
Trying to change the parent isnt what I focus on, but being an empathetic witness for the child.
@candburd
Have you ever been right, and you know your right, its on something simple, and yet you have a person argue with you that your wrong? And there so determined to prove you wrong that you get tired of arguing with them, yet you have this funny feeling the rest of the day?
I guess where I am going with that, is even though I know there is a better way to raise your kid. I don’t want to be told “Fuck off” by a parent. o.o’
if you see a parent abusing a child at least if you say something in defense of the child, the child has a witness, and knows there is someone who feels their pain and confirms that what the parent is doing is wrong. As Alice Miller believes, a child who has been abused can only grow to confront the pain and fear they felt as children, which will lead to happiness, if they have a witness to help them at some point. It is quite important in that respect that enlightened witnesses speak out.
So thank you for this amazing lecture. I have been hearing alot of advice from alot of different people as well with the same message that you give. I feel this is the reason me and so many others are not happy today!
Thank you good sir. I have been talking about my truths and the truth in the world for so very long, and I have done my part in not supporting as much as I can in regards to the food I eat and the places I shop and taxes that I don’t pay…but I still feel like I should move on from the atmosphere that I have been stuck in for so very long and the people I hang out with. They all know the truth but are not willing to put their knowledge into action. It’s pure insanity.
It is very difficult. I have just one good friend who I agree with on every level, and was panicking that I’d loose the friendship when I introduced them to the idea of anarchy and FDR. Fortunately, that decision to suppress my fear of rejection turned out for the best. Now we feel isolated and old together!
Just keep probing people with the ideas and virtues you hold dear. The ones who listen to you are probably keepers!
You also have the intangible internet community!
How do you find these people that don’t support this evil system? I try to live by a philosophy that the more I listen to you , it sounds fairly similar, but you say you surround yourself with people who don’t support this evil system and I’m wondering where did you find them? I’m finding I’m isolated because I don’t support this system. Hopefully this doesn’t sound crazy, cause sometimes I feel it. Just wondering what you have to say about it. Thanks.
@9:21
You talk about intervening between a parent and a child.
Would you want someone to do that to you?
I wouldn’t want someone to tell me what was right and wrong with my child or intervene with the way I raised them.
I think that is shaky ground to get on.
My opinion on how to save the world is some people shouldn’t have kids. period.
I have seen parents be real dicks to there kids. Its like the parents are placing the blame of the kid being born on the kid, when its the parents fault.
@Stefbot
“Why does it have to be one or the other?”
I agree.
Also, real wisdom can help obtain money
why does it have to be one or the other?
what is better to you, money or wisdom?
Thanks. I don’t really think stefbot is ignorant, he’s obviously thoroughly educated.
But I think that’s he has codified and internalized what he’s learned. If he ever ends up tie-ing his emotional well-being to his intellectual models, he could become a dogmatist.
yes i agree with Jcolinsol .. it is pure absolutist talk .. which is nothing more then a hidden form of ignorance
You could well be right, you might want to have a listen to my free book on ethics, available on my website…
Because right and wrong seem to be only subjective values, not objective realities. They are intellectual constructs, useful ones, but not universal ones.
So when you tie the actions of the state with your own personal sense of right and wrong you will alienate the people whose sense of right and wrong are tied to the state (most people)
Besides, talking about things in terms of right and wrong would be inaccurate if morality is indeed subjective.
Twice. Once in a parking lot. Parent angrily forcing child (looked about 4) into car. Me, (Light heartedly) “Hey, your probably having a bad day but those little guys break pretty easy.” Explosion “MIND YOUR OWND DAMN BUSINESS…etc” Similar incident in a department store. If there’s is immediate danger to their health I’d still speak up but maybe there’s another way to handle it.
FYI: What you’re doing here Stef is very admirable and stimulating (and doesn’t require batteries:)
can you tell us a little more about your experience?
why do you think that is?
I am frustrated by the absolutist way that you talk about morality and good and evil.
My main free book is “Poison for the Heart” (google it). There are free podcasts at “The reasoning show”, my youtube videos are at “MenoftheInfinite”, and there is a forum at “Genius forum”. Thanks for asking.
