Molyneux is a dangerous manipulator. He has been exposed many times, yet he is big enough to always dupe new people. Beware you were warned.

Meh, he skirts around the edges of the truth on a bunch of topics, but has some pretty absurd opinions related to spanking children - and places too much Freudian emphasis on people's formative years as being responsible for their sorry adult state. Like anything else it can give you a rougher start, but that's about it.

When I was a kid I was so hard headed only force could make me comply - and I loathe to think of what a shitty human being I'd have ended up being if my parent's handed occasionally broken down and physically forced me to stop being an asshole.

Well in fact I used to be subbed to his channel at the start of youtube. The one thing that made me unsub had to do with this you talk about. FYI I actually did psycho-analysis as a major in university :p.

What got me was that he was using his pseudo psycho-analysis in the same way cults do; requesting the first thing a follower do is cut all ties with the family. There were other things, but this was when I saw he really was imo a dangerous manipulator, as like all cults he was preying on weak people, trying to disconnect them from all other influences in order to control them.

I'm sure by now he has adapted his game in various ways as he is no doubt intelligent and very persuasive. Just now and then I type something like I did, in the hope of getting through to some persons.
