Stefan Molyneux responds to David Gordon.

@Marko

One thing that was interesting to me about the exchange is this: What do we find out about David Gordon from reading his piece? Well we find out what he thinks of Stef, his book and the goal Stef had set out to accomplish in writing it, which is what his article is about. In other words we don’t find out anything about David Gordon that isn’t the theme of the article.

Meanwhile what do we find out about Stef from his reply? That is, what do we find out about him beyond what is the theme of his reply (ie that his book does not suck and why he thinks that is the case). We find out:

a.) That he has contacted mises.org about publishing his reply
b.) That he is always sceptical when a review starts with insults
c.) That he has studied playwriting and acting at the National Theatre School in Montréal
d.) That he spent a long time writing his book
e.) That he was disappointed at David for not discussing his seven ethical categories

No wonder he feels insulted when he can not seperate himself from his work. The discussion should be about the book Stef, who cares where you studied to be a playwright, etc.

Ah hem.

You getting this, MMMark?
