I have a love and hate relationship with Molyneux's podcast, I like a lot his consistent logic on most things but I reject some of his ideas mainly about ressentment towards family...that thing with his mom seems like a non solved problem imo, what are your thoughts? But overall I like a lot how he explain many complex things using simple parables, like some sort of guru. As a tech nerd, I would expect him to be on nostr and even here to debate with many other very smart people. What are your thoughts on his philosophy? UPB is a very cool concept.

A ton of his older content was excellent. He just has a hangup about his family. I would simply ignore that stuff unless you had an abusive family and need to separate from them.

I like him, some of his lines of thoughts can sometimes be too out there for me, but I don't like how he was censored from Youtube a few years ago and he should be a huge advocate of a platform like Nostr, maybe he just hasn't heard of it yet!

He mentioned nostr, but apparently does not know how to use it lol

I used to have him on my youtube rotation many many moons ago, back when youtube was fun and he'd debate with objectivists and libertarians. I similarly found his FoO projections off putting at times; although for people with abusive families it was probably helpful. At the very least, a lot of his ideas are interesting and at that time in my life I wanted to hear people discussing those things. UPB might predate my time listening to him or maybe he called it by a different name then because I recall him having some "solved" system of ethics like that.
I haven't seen him around much. I suspect he prefers to spend his time with his own group more than he does venturing out.
