“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 people's 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. That's how we're born, how we grow and develop. I choose to inconvenience the irrational.” RelationshipsVirtueHonestyIntegrityRationality Author:Stefan Molyneux

“For the most part, people strenuously resist any redefinition of morality, because it shakes them to the very core of their being to think that in pursuing virtue they may have been feeding vice, or in fighting vice they may have in fact been fighting virtue.” SelfReasonPhilosophyFactsGovernmentEvilBeliefPeaceFreedomEducationLibertyKnowledgeLearningVirtueDangerousMoralityEthicsEvidenceUniversalLibertarianProofRationalAnarchySecularSelf KnowledgeRationalityCoercionCritical ThinkingSuperstitionIndoctrinationStatismBrainwashingVoluntaryismAncapRelearningUniversal EthicsUniversally Preferable Behavior Author:Stefan Molyneux
“A man goes to a foreign country and kills somebody who's not aggressing against him; in a Hawaiian shirt he's a criminal, in a green costume he's a hero who gets a parade and a pension. So that, as a culture, we remain in a state of moral insanity. To point out these contradictions to people in society is to be labeled insane. This is how insane society remains, that anybody who points out logical opposites in the most essential human topic of ethics, is considered to be insane.” ValuesFreedomLibertyVirtueIntegrityLogicDelusionMoralsRationalityCritical ThinkingStatism Author:Stefan Molyneux
