Philosopher Stefan Molyneux answers the most essential online question: ARE YOU A TROLL?!?

Listener letter:

Dear Stefan,

I was the one who raised the question of viewing stolen pictures and smashing laptops on Telegram. I just saw the replay of your Dlive stream where you addressed it. You called me a troll. What does that mean? Is someone who raises an ethical question in an unfriendly environment a troll? Were you a troll when you went to Parliament and the San Fran government and asked them about how they were going to pay for their government programs? You have said you used to debate your friends as a child. When they would win, would you simply accuse them of being trolls?

I have read UPB, and I accept the theory. You said I was trying to refute UPB, but maybe you were just mixing me up with people from past forums. Is the purpose of your forum to have challenging philosophical discussions or to circle-jerk about theories which everyone in the group already accepts? I'd be willing to go on your show to discuss this topic or others.

The reason I asked my question on Telegram in the first place was because I wanted to try being like you. I had asked my friend to ask me a philosophical question, and I would make a video answering it. She asked me if it was okay to enjoy content made by a problematic artist. I thought to myself: "What's the most problematic kind of content? I know -- Child porn!" I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything before I made the video, so I decided to probe your Telegram.

Anyways, I just wanted to clarify things. I was upset at being called "an obvious troll" by you since I admire you. I guess I could've prefaced my Telegram question with my reasons for asking it, but I just wanted to get right into it. I'm still listening to your Dlive show, and you just addressed a 35 year old named Glenn who "smokes weed and isn't doing anything with his life." I'm in a not-too-different boat from Glenn, so maybe we could discuss this topic if you decide to have me on your show.
