Apparently she was given it by a "rationalist", possibly as a flirting strategy (those sorts hit on her regularly).
I kinda want to do a dunk review
Tell us how far you get. Apparently it's so bad that Libertarian think tanks can't even be assed to pretend to like this book and his baby brained takes.
Molyneux's system of morality has resolutely libertarian implications. If he is right, surely a time for rejoicing is at hand.
It would be cruel to arouse false expectations, so I had better say at once that Molyneux does not succeed in his noble goal. He fails, and fails miserably. His arguments are often preposterously bad.
:data-laughing:
Holy fuck it keeps going:
cw "wot if rape was good?"
His "argument" against a rule that mandated rape must be read to be believed. I hasten to add that there is nothing to be said in favor of rape: to the contrary, it is obviously morally horrendous. But even here, Molyneux founders. He says,
If "rape" is a moral good, then "not raping" must be a moral evil — thus it is impossible for two men in the same room to both be moral at the same time, since only one of them can be a rapist at any given moment — and he can only be a rapist if the other man becomes his victim. (p. 66)
Amazing. I seem to have acquired a cursed book collection.
I'm hoping that being in text will help. The clips I've seen of him, he has a lot of annoying things about him. His voice. The weird grin he does when he flatly lies or makes a shitty argument and he knows a decent number of people aren't going to be quick or knowledgeable enough to spot it.

It’s less flirting and more filtering. They know on some level that their partner needs to, at the very least, be willing to look past all the race realist ancap shit, if not embrace it.
Which, tbf, is basically the same thing I’d do by putting a Lenin meme on my dating profile, except for bad shit instead of good.
Sounds lonely tbh. I imagine that space is very dominated by white men
Yeah I’d imagine the alienation is kind of the point after a while. Lots of autistic white men in particular populate the cores of those “communities”
My partner is a goth girl who for some reason every country dude in camo and a pickup truck thinks “Clearly I’m what she’s looking for” so she’s very curious about why your flatmate seems to attract those kinds of dudes.
She's aromantic so regularly single, she's done some philosophy and was in those spaces at uni, has alt vibes, is into anime and other nerdy stuff...
Massive lib, but still not really a type to go for Stefan molyneux
This is pretty old, I kinda want to timeline it to see if this was around he was whispering stuff to his wife's clients from avent
The book opens with him talking about slaying a dragon, the dragon of... Urgh, something. I don't care.
