"Over the last five years Stefan Molyneux has risen to fame, and while I personally enjoy a lot of his content, I maintain that a great many of his assertions are disastrously flawed… and his Universally Preferable Behaviour (otherwise known as UPB) is one of them. What follows is a refutation of the Five Proofs that Molyneux offers, and hence, this is Universally Preferable Behaviour Debunked!As promised within the video, here’s a link to Common Sense Atheism’s review of UPB (of which I found very useful in my research, and I highly recommend). Give him/her some love! http://commonsenseatheism.com/?p=75For a detailed explanation of the flaws and fallacies within Molyneux’s Five Proofs, please watch the video, but if you just want a brief announcement of some of the flaws, they are as follows:The First Proof is flawed because:• Premise two is a False Premise.The Second Proof is flawed because:• Premise one is Begging the Question, and;• Premise four unjustifiably smuggles in the word “acceptance”.The Third Proof is flawed because:• Premise two is Begging the Question;• Premise three is a False Premise, and;• Premise four is a False Premise.The Fourth Proof is flawed because:• Premise one is either pedantic or a False Premise;• Premise three commits an Ambiguity Fallacy, and;• Premise four is a Non Sequitur.And finally (thanks for sticking around people!), the Fifth Proof is flawed because:• Premise one is Begging the Question, and;• Premise two is Arbitrarily Assigning Significance"▶️ Donate Now: http://www.freedomainradio.com/donate▶️ Sign Up For Our Newsletter: http://www.fdrurl.com/newsletterYour support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
