| I thought the comparison to Mike Tyson was interesting. The number of "I's" at the beginning was staggering. I believe I was criticized for the same thing by him. Oh and placing 6th in a debating contest with 7 contestants;).
Back to the Tyson comparisons; Tyson a bankrupt rapest , drug addict, among other things. I wonder if Stef did his research and prepared for this video.
Perhaps he is delusional or incapable of following his own advice. It is one, the other or both. |

| It is scarey how he is talking about how its about winning the debate and not about learning something. |

| Stef is a pathological liar and manipulator and I honestly think he has no real genuine self left.
His mind has been taken over by his defensive and offensive techniques. Originally these were there to protect his ego, but they have come to destroy and replace it. |

| "I'm kind of a heavyweight." That's like a joke t-shirt. Will it be a shaven headed Will Ferrell playing Stef in the FDR movie?
And just where are the critiques that Stef has written of Jung and Freud?
Anyway, I don't think he's being very curious. But he certainly is hypocritical. And hilariously so, what with the telling people to do exactly what he refuses to do. When he gets in a debate, when he's getting trapped, he shifts gears and tries to RTR the thing into a ditch. LOL!
Oh, wait... Is he making a "logical case" for the ad hominem? Roughly 'I don't care about what you're saying, I'm going to look at your behavior and judge whether I even listen to your argument.' That's what it sounds like. Wow... Just, wow.
P.S. - He is clearly so self-conscious and obsessed with weight as a marker for morality. He thinks fat people are ethically bad, and I guess it's because of his own trouble with his weight, which he's ironically translated into a moral crusade, a struggle for virtue where only his vanity exists. _________________ Please check out my blog!

| Oh god! I should have listened all the way through. "Airily dismissing" Rothbard is offensive? Well, seņior douchebagarino, look in the mirror and repeat your claims about Mises, Rothbard, et cetera being "FAILURES" before you tell me who I can "glibly reject." HA! Arrogant hypocrisy has never had a more unnecessarily verbose spokesperson. Even Reign of Radness makes you look like an angry middle school chess team captain who has just had his ass handed to him by a $20 Wal-Mart computer game. _________________ Please check out my blog!

| 7 minutes in and he is still talking about "preparation" - the piece is 17 minutes long! And finally, at the end, we get to find out that he is a "heavyweight" in debate, because he has a masters degree from ummmmmmmmm...............what was the name of that school? And he got an "A"! Wow. That is impressive stuff alright.  |

| But how do you really feel, Dylan?
I guess I'm just shocked by the notion that he a) claims that one should not approach an argument without doing rigorous and exhaustive research, and b) has written a book which falls vaguely in the tradition of argumentation ethics, but does not provide a single citation or mention of Habermas, Apel, van Dun, or Hoppe, never mind any of their critics, and also vaguely in the tradition of Aristotelianism, but does not reference Aristotle or any modern Aristotelian. His maxim-based approach is reminiscent of Kant, but Kant is not mentioned. His attempt to derive a system of ethics from observations about the natural world seems to demand a discussion of Hume and Moore, but neither are mentioned.
And then in the same video, he talks about not listening to what someone's saying and instead looking to see what they actually do. Unbelievable! |

| Gee.........it was hard for me to hear what he was saying because of all that he has actually done. What did he say?  |

| You know, I just think it's funny how many of you guys read up on and criticize this one guy. Can you imagine doing this much criticism of any other random douchebag on youtube? Which is, for all intents and purposes, what Molyneux is. |

| Haha if you posted videos like this one in a place where I would see them, coupled with the statement "Worst podcast. Ever.," you would probably get a comment or two from me. Especially if I had read one of the person's books. |

if the term 'douchebag' is to be used at all, it is to be used to apply to people like Stefan |
