Quotes by Stefan Molyneux

The best way to destroy the decrepit is to build the glorious.

Evil ethicists are the holocaust of humanity; if philosophy can be the instant sunlight to their endless vampirism, it will save more lives than all the doctors who have ever lived.

Self-manipulation is our medication. Mythology is our drug. The only cure is honesty.

Sorry, but I have to be who I am. Everyone else is taken... So be your self! Speak your truth - if there are people around you who tempt you with non-existence blast through that and give them the full glory of who you are. Do not withhold yourself from the world. Do not piss on the incandescent gift of your existence. Do not drown yourself in the petty fog and dustiness of other peoples ancient superstitions, unbeliefs, aggressions, culture and crap! No! Be a flare! We were born that way. Born perfectly happy being inconvenient to our parents. We shit, piss, cry, wake up at night, throw up on their shoulders, scream... We are, in essence, in our humanity, perfectly comfortable with inconveniencing others. Thats how were born, how we grow and develop. I choose to inconvenience the irrational.

Being loved means; are disagreements welcome in my relationships? If you cant disagree with someone then you live in a tyranny and if you live in a tyranny then you are only loved to the degree that you erase yourself and conform to the irrational expectations of bullies. That isnt love obviously. Now if somebody in you life demands that you not disagree with them and gets angry, offended, or outraged should you disagree with them then, that person is not a good person. Its pretty narcissistic. Its somebody who does not have the maturity, wisdom, and ego strength to handle, and in fact welcome disagreements. When people disagree with me as a whole I think its a great opportunity for learning. People dont want to expose topics that might cause disagreement because, if the disagreement is punished then the illusion of being loved by good people is shattered.

To be yourself is in many ways, is to be inconvenient to others. Only placaters and appeasers get along with other people all the time and thats not really getting along with anyone. Thats just self erasure.To be alive, to be in a relationship is to constantly court inconvenience to others and out of that inconvenience can come enormous growth. I simply work as an imperasist. Empiricism comes first. So, I speak things that are inconvenient to others but, true for me. I observe their response. Its incredibly easy to find out the truth in your relationships. All you do is speak the truth. You speak the truth about whats on your mind to those around you and their true natures will be revealed in about 5 seconds.You have honesty in your relationships. You speak the truth about your experience, thoughts, and feelings in your relationships and then you do not control how other people respond. Your as honest as can be and you simply observe how they respond. Its like that spray you use to see the lasers in the room. Honesty reveals everything.OK So, if these people constantly sacrifice my happiness, security, and mental health for the sake of their petty emotional selfish needs then I could choose to stay in those relationships if I want. I mean, I could choose to continue to hire an employee who steals from me everyday. I just have to be aware that hes stealing from me everyday.

If there is no honesty, there is no relationship. The only degree to which there is a relationship is the degree to which you are honest. Expressing your clear desires does not make you a dictator and you telling what you think, feel, and what you want or don’t want, is just called being honest. It doesnt control him at all. You’re trying to control others by withholding information by not getting involved and by not being honest. Withholding information is a form of manipulation. It is dishonest and it’s destructive to a relationship.

The degree to which the psychiatric community is complicit with abusive parents in drugging non-compliant children is a war crime across the generations, and there will be a Nuremberg at some point in the future

They did the best they could with the knowledge they had. How the fuck did people know that? They didnt have no way of knowing that. Even if they did the best they could with the knowledge they had, why the hell didnt they have better knowledge? I mean, then nobody should ever fail an exam because everyone who Wrights an exam is doing the best they can with the knowledge they have. If I dont study for geography exam then I flunk out. Can I then say wait, just like the people who get a A I was doing the best I could with the knowledge I had. Thats not an excuse for a 6 year old with a goddamn spelling B. How the hell is it an excuse for parents in full control of a developing human mind?If you dont study for the exam you fucking fail and if you dont study for parenting you fucking fail. You dont get to say that you did the best you could with the knowledge you had. Fuck that. Thats a bullshit cop-out. You goddamn will study. Its a little more important raising a child than passing a spelling B when youre 6 goddamn years old. You goddamn will study and if you dont study youre more culpable.

Applying parents values back to them allot of the time is like trying to pay back a guy who is a counterfeiter with his own counterfeit bills. No, your supposed to think this is real money. I know its not. Im only pretending this is real money to get away with something. I dont actually want to receive it because I know its fake money.

The law is an opinion with a gun.

The idea that the State is capable of solving social problems is now viewed with great scepticism – which foretells a coming change. As soon as scepticism is applied to the State, the State falls, since it fails at everything except increasing its power, and so can only survive on propaganda, which relies on unquestioning faith.

The whole purpose of propaganda is to make the obvious seem obscure, or offensive

Socialism, or communism as it is sometimes called, is merely a secular religion, where the State becomes a god.

If you have a really good ideas, one thing you dont need is a fucking gun. An iPad is a kind of a cool thing. They dont need to threaten you with fines to get you to buy one do they? The moment the government says theyre gonna force you to do something, you know its a bad idea. If someone invites you on a date with chloroform, an old sofa, and a windowless van, its not a date.So, the fact that ObamaCare, welfare state, military industrial complex, public schools - you name it. The fact that it has to be imposed at gunpoint is a clue that its shit. Recognize that when there is a gun to your face, there is not a very advantageous human being on the other end.

Statism ends with an eye roll.

Weve got this weird dysgenic situation where were basically just paying idiots to breed and taxing intelligent people to stay away from each other with anything remotely resembling fertility.

Ever wonder why the media never refers to 18 or 19 year old American soldiers as armed teens?

You cannot have an agency that defends your property, which also has the right to violate your property rights at will. Thats like hiring a bodyguard that you pay to beat you up randomly.

Tyranny is the wolf cast by the shadows of sheep.
