Philosopher Stefan Molyneux addresses the question of why an all-powerful God allows evil, focusing on the importance of free will. He uses the analogy of a chess game to illustrate that while God provides the framework, humanity makes its own choices—both good and bad. Stefan compares divine authority to parental control, suggesting that just as parents encourage independence in children, God permits freedom that includes the potential for suffering. This tension between divine intervention and human autonomy is explored, culminating in the message that evil is a necessary byproduct of the freedom essential for moral development.

Given that Plato's Allegory of the Cave seems to still apply to modern people, is there any hope of some day having a civilization rooted in reality?

If truly sentient and self-aware and self-motivated robots come to be, would you welcome them into the world as fellow beings worthy of respect?

Can an Atheist, like an Ex-muslim be a Christian at least culturally go to church and all, even if he can't find any rational way to believe that God exists. I know, I know it's a strange Question.

If the purpose of life is, as I think it is, to become a great mate, find a great mate, create a family, and raise kids who will be great mates themselves... what does the purpose of life become for people who can't, don't, or choose not to become parents?


Would moral standards exist, or need to exist, in a post-Singularity world where anyone can have anything they want, built by robotics, AI, and insanely advanced 3D printers?

My question is basically rooted in the notion that, once we have anything we want, what are moral standards worth?

Moral standards are worth something right now because we need each other in order to survive and thrive. Moral standards produce mutual respect between humans so we can trade with each other, either without conflict or with minimal conflict, maintaining social stability.

I apologize if I've completely misunderstood what "morality" as a concept is about. I kind of know what it is, but only from my simpleton perspective. I would love to get your perspective.

Thanks Stef.



Utilitarianism or Deontology - "greatest good" or "moral principle?" Old debate but I haven't heard your take.



what is truth?


Not a question but elaborate a bit on the left-right rabbit hole. I'm feeling used.


How do we keep ourselves from hating our enemy more than we love our people?


What does it mean to feel pain for the loss of someone you never met in person?


Why are we here?


Divorce and family dissolution is agony that endures until death.

Is it better to have loved and lost or to never have loved and thus be spared the loss?


Would you abort a pedophile baby?



How can we know that we ALL see the same color when we say "blue" or "Green"?


If space ends what is on the other side?


Why is there something, rather than nothing?


How long will it take for me to stop grieving Charlie Kirk’s murder?


Does your internal dialogue or actions shape your reality? Which one is more significant and why?


Universal morality versus in-group morality. If you believe in universal morality still, upon what basis?


Why do most philosophers believe in God?


What's your opinion on Sam Harris?


What’s the point of it all, it’s not even struggle anymore it’s all just crap, endless, worthless crap


What are you thoughts regarding ‘cancel culture’ and the differences that exist between how it implemented by the right vs the left

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux answers more questions from X!

"Is the proper formulation for UPB’s always an outwardly directed negation of the universal preference?

"Also, it seems there are universal preferences which aren’t UPB’s until other UPB’s are already met. Which (if any) UPB do you see as primary? (I think it’s do not lie).



"Stefan can you talk about the cock-blocking mother? It is a mother who has lived her life, had her kids, but is divorced. And so decides to live with her daughter (usually first born) under the guise of it being economically smart. The daughter therefore never gets to date 1/2"


"Who do you think was the last or latest 'great' or 'towering' philosopher?"


"How can the right to freedom of speech be reconciled with the immorality of telling lies?

"If (since?) the two can't be reconciled, can you think of a better principle to encourage civil discourse while protecting society from the harms of deception?"
