Regarding UPB, in debate Stefan keeps running into the claim of having committed the "is/ought fallacy" the more he shows the necessity of UPB to sustaining human life. The objection of the opponents continually boil down to saying that the desire to behave in a manner necessary to sustain human life is a preference, not something "preferable" that carries moral obligation to adhere to. This is the fundamental question of the human condition because we have a free will: do we choose submission to behavioral rules based on a reality outside ourselves that sustain life or do we choose to live inside rules we create in our own mind that are not based external reality and sustainment of life. This is the choice presented to the human race in the book of Genesis wherein God is Truth for He speaks and makes reality come into existence and submitting to Him allows eating of the tree of life, but the eating of tree of the knowledge of good and evil is a choice to reject reality and thus bring death into the world.

I think there's confusion about the word "preferable". If I understood, SM isn't saying that you will always feel like not murdering. But in a situation where we are rationally and explicitly working out how we should act---under those conditions, not murdering is the logical conclusion.

On the subject of square circle taxi cab ๐ Stefan could you make a video on what a square circle taxi cab ๐ is? because Ive never heard of a square circle taxi cab ๐ until your debate with JF and I think it would be an interesting concept to learn about.

Take some pride in yourself and your presentation Mr. Stillwell. I though his attitude was disrespectful, he could have at least planned his arrangement and set it up accordingly. He could have taped his phone up, Put on a decent shirt or buttoned it, stood up, stop hitting the effing vape every 3 minutes and replied without reading his screen like he's not sure of his responses. This is supposed to be a deeply held conviction and he acts like he couldn't remember what he wrote in his own book (or where to get it).

Really disappointed in Mr. STillwell... he could not speak very well to his beliefs, i still have no idea what he even believes in. Hope he goes back to the drawing board and figures out what he believes in.
