Philosopher Stefan Molyneux lays out the road to hell by showing how pushing women into college debt and welfare traps kills marriage and kids while state coercion removes all feedback and responsibility.
Questions:
What challenges will we face in society in the future when some segments of the population have a Neuralink implant and others don’t?
Would you be interested in creating a series or long-form content similar to Andrew Wilson's Debate University but for the purpose of learning how to reason from first principles? Similar to the early white-board videos from FDR?
Define the political Right and Left in the pure abstract without any reference to a particular time or place.
Can you do a podcast/video about decreasing birthrates, decreasing fertility, decreasing sperm count, especially in the wester world? Studies suggest almost no one in the west will be able to have children naturally in 30 years... seems like a serious problem.
Why are most European nations so determined to destroy their history culture and heritage through Middle Eastern migrants…
Can you explain why young men commit suicide generally?
Have you ever watched testimonies of people who have died and went to hell on youtube? There are a lot where they are revived and are able to share their story.
How would you decide between a guaranteed mediocre life or a slim chance at wild success?
You advocate against forgiveness without prior repentance from the perpetrator. Could it be possible that most people just can’t walk between resentment and forgiveness, so in terms of total human suffering it is better just to forgive. And that in not forgiving, most people just become shitty judges.
In principle I’m inclined to agree with your take but I dont know anyone that has escaped resentment without up front forgiveness. On the average, maybe they get taken for some sort of a ride but their overall life is better.
I’m not talking about individual cases here, just on balance and overall human suffering levels, with the average human and their average human drama / life.
How can you escape damnation?
When society become unraveled, is it due to people forgetting the basics?
A house falls when its foundation crumbles.
How to solve population decline, gender wars and political divide when Women are getting more far left and men are getting more far right. When the division is being funded by rival countries /globalists?
Are you friends with Styx? If so, have you checked on him lately? He's gone off the rails lately. Hope he finds some help.
What do you think of the notion that, with some exceptions, conservatives cannot create good art?
do you like cats? 😂
How do you ground a nations ontology?
- ontology, the philosophical study of being in general, or of what applies neutrally to everything that is real. It was called “first philosophy” by Aristotle in Book IV of his Metaphysics.
What are the chances "the" universe was formed by two colliding universes—perhaps it was just a fender bender—a la how our moon was theoretically formed (by a rogue planet colliding with earth)?
How do you build a sane friend circle in an insane world?
Can you dance ? If not, what kind of philosopher are you?
Why are boomers such crappy grandparents

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux talks with a 30-year-old asking when his life starts while he lives off family, works his dad's restaurant, racks up debt, and hides behind porn, games, and fear of rejection. He pushes the caller to stop making excuses, get a real job outside the family, pay down debt, and build independence so he can finally have marriage and children.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux shows how philosophy helps you by tying fear straight to unexpressed anger from bad parents and pushing confrontation so you finally grow into an adult with real agency. He adds that universally preferable behavior gives a clear standard for ethics and politics instead of excuses or coercion.
Questions:
If one would start their own company and fail, what is the worst possible financial demise one would face? Bankruptcy? What does that really look like as far as putting the pieces back together and starting all over? How does one calculate their risk? Example: Automotive Detailing Business. ✌🏼
I feel as though I have been controlled be fear all my life …
What are your thoughts on fear?
No questions. Thanks for your efforts over the years.
What are your thoughts on reverse mass migration / remigration?
You believe the coming matriarchy is a bad thing but you will at last get to wear nice clothes and not die in an atomic war. Why does it frighten you so much?
what are the advantages of confronting your parents and the disadvantages of not doing it?
Stef, not a question, just an observation. The show with the guy who still felt guilty because he crashed his mom’s car was so eye-opening, I didn’t want it to end.
I just wished you had recognized that he did not want to end the call, he was just too polite for his own good.
Why do the majority of people seem to express more emotion for fictional characters in tv/media than their own society, loved ones, etc.?
Are you a Christian ?
Why are blacks physically superior to whites?
Do you believe in the human soul? If not, can u explain the conscience and inner monologue? Do u believe in NPCs?
will you concede upb does not serve as 'proof' of secular ethics? what would lead you to concede?
ME: Can theft ever be universally preferable behaviour?
HIM: No, it can't. I don't dispute that.
But you provide a definition of morality that equates to universalizable behavior. And then state that things that can't be universalizable (theft) are immoral. But why? They are inconsistent, sure. But how are you 'proving' they are immoral?
UPB is actually a limited case of morality in the context where the agents can be considered equivalent, but starts to break down in cases where differences exist (such as inter species, subspecies, population or kin behaviour). Morality is more generally logic (right/wrong), which reduces to UPB in the special case of assumed agent equivalence. A more general application is that of the “golden rule” or doing (not) to another that which one would (not) expect done to oneself in the same circumstance - this takes into account differences in expectation of treatment based on similarity (e.g. genetic distance), and is logically consequent of the shared UPB assumption that there is no reason to treat object A different than object B (eg self) if they are known to be equivalent.
How much of the welfare magnet for mass migration comes from central banking/fiat printing pulling migrants upstream to new money, versus explicit border policies?
I've been following your work for a while and generally find your analysis insightful. However, I notice you rarely offer actionable solutions. For instance, if we followed your criteria for dating, the pool would be zero. Same applies to your views on government and taxation. I'd love to hear your ideas on what we should actually do.
I agree with you that Christianity has no protective power for the western world, as history shows. What then is to be done? The pagan culture of before the Christians failed as well. What kind of culture and beliefs can stand up against such hate and destruction?
why do positions of power always end up occupied by the malevolent among us?

In other questions, he rejects spanking as pointless violence that fails to prepare kids for adult consequences like social avoidance or lost opportunities.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux debates the ethics of war against Iran with James Delmore, who claims the regime lacks sovereignty and justifies US intervention on libertarian grounds. Stefan counters that state debt, coercion, and blowback violate the non-aggression principle, so stick to voluntary action and reject government wars.

In this episode we discuss Bitcoin as more than a tool for privacy or protection against inflation, and we frame it as a challenge to central banking and debt-based control. We then examine how money creation, borrowing, and government debt shift burdens onto future taxpayers and concentrate power in financial institutions.
We also talk about why political change is limited by debt, credit, and public dependency, and how crises and propaganda are used to shape behavior. Another major theme is learning and responsibility: we argue that information is widely available through modern technology and AI, so people who refuse to learn should not expect rescue.
Finally, we discuss respect, relationships, and family, including the difference between earned respect and status-based demands. We also reflect on marriage and reciprocity, and on the need to protect ourselves from people who repeatedly show disrespect.

Take care when listening to this call-in! This is not a call-in for children. If you have a history of abuse, particularly sexual abuse, be alert and ready.
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux exposes the most evil family in this call-in show, where an absent father, alcoholic mother, drug-dealing stepfather, and years of porn, sibling incest, and the caller molesting his drunk mom created total sexual corruption and moral rot. He demands the caller drop all excuses, judge it clearly as evil, set hard boundaries, and build a real life instead of staying trapped in the damage.

Questions:
What do you think about sidehustles after having kids? I tried but cannot fathom how one combines it with kids.
With your years of fighting the good fight for non aggression and peaceful parenting, do you see societal progress on these fronts, is it moving the other direction, or is it about the same?
Stefan, do you think it’s possible to raise strong, moral children in a large urban area today?
With the constant distractions, negative influences, and government schooling, I believe it’s extremely difficult if not impossible. What are your thoughts?
If women are unfriendly towards other women who are more attractive and intelligent than themselves (‘’more attractive’ women experience more aggression and sabotage from other women per research) how does the female status hierarchy work? Is it self defeating/rewards mediocrity?
Is retirement devastating for most people?
When does patience stop being a virtue?
Are we obligated to tip dealers at casinos when you win?I don’t gamble but to me this makes no sense. They don’t tip you when you lose and you still have to pay taxes on that money.
I want to know what you think about the prevalence of young female domestic abusers. I have no data, but in my opinion, it seems to be dramatically rising.
You seemed to say the poor lack empathy towards the rich, with their wealth tax in NY/California. But the rich have funded this communism for 100 years. The ford foundation, hewlett foundation, soros, Hearst foundation, the bill gates foundation and many more. The rich are evil
When is it ok to seek revenge? If you are rude to a waiter is he justified in spitting on your food?
Why do ‘ high’ IQ’ folks tend to be the most gullible and authoritarian as Eric Hoffer described - the tyranny of the intellectuals?
When is it OK to lie?
Where does free will end and determinism begin?
What would you tell a successful 38 year old man who can’t find a good wife? Man makes $400k a year, lives in a nice townhouse in a nice town in the USA, works out 4 days a week.
What should I read to know more about theatre? Are there non acting theatre degrees?
Do you think AI slop on social media will ruin the addictive hooks integrated into social media in a way that makes people minimize their social media use, meaning the next generation might be better off mentally? 🤔
How can one who finds themselves drowning in apathy learn to feel joy again?
What are your thought on the Tesla humanoid robots?
Was there ever a time in the History of the Universe where nothing existed?
Why did you only have one kid?
How can men best help in the emotional regulation of their woman?
How do we culturally stop social media/gaming addiction?
What are some dating tips you have for unattractive people?

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux unpacks listener questions on matchmaking, vaccine deceptions, true listening, UPB's ironclad morality and virtue-forged love to arm you against societal lies for ethical sovereignty.
Questions:
"How would you go about making introductions between two individuals that you believe would both massively benefit from knowing one another (whether in a business, romantic, or other scenario)?"
"Hey Stef, maybe a bit of a personal question but I would appreciate hearing what your thoughts are on vaccines now. Pre-COVID I was convinced about vaccines being good, but now since witnessing the COVID jab and even just how terrible the batch controls were with contaminants, I haven’t been able to bring myself to vaccinate my children. I don’t trust vaccines made by companies who participated, but even if I could find some available that weren’t, I read a book called Vax Unvax by Del Bigtree and Robert Kennedy, and it made a compelling argument for vaccine injuries being much higher than reported. Also, there is so much corruption in the industry. Yet with all of this, I still worry it’s not the right choice due to non-herd-immunity related risks, such as tetenus. Thanks if you take the time to touch on this!"
"Why do you think that it is so difficult for people to listen?
"Stefan, you are an excellent listener, backed by countless examples. What are your top 3 to 5 tips on how to become a great listener?"
"Hi stef. In regard to UPB and the Coma Test; If someone in a coma is unconscious, they also have no choice. As a result they do not have the ability to prefer anything. Should someone in a coma not be excluded from any assessment for UPB? Thanks."
"Hi Stef, This is a follow on from my previous question. Do you think that people resist UPB, in part because it leads to the realisation of how unloved most of us are?
"If there is a secular explanation for morality, and that love and morality aren't seperate from each other, then we also end up with an understanding of love centered around voluntarism, a respect for property rights (peaceful parenting), and the mutual exchange of value (freetrade).
"In many social relationships where people claim to love and be loved, there is no voluntarism (only social obligation), no peaceful parenting (negotiation), but instead manipulation and violence, and no mutual exchange of value (consistent positive behavior that is reciprocated), but instead exploitation. This is particularly true for parent child relationships.
"Is a rejection of UPB therefore a desire to hold on to the illusion of parental love being real? Even if it is centered around social obligations, emotional and physical coercion and as well as exploitation. E.g. parents expecting children to take care of them even when the parents failed to protect and nurture their own children.
"Is so much of the resistance to secular ethics (atleast from the masses who wield no true political power), simply a desire to escape grief?"
"Hi Stef, if love is our involuntary response to virtue, and virtue is caused by free will, how do we discuss free will in the psychological sense without undermining it philosophically through introducing deterministic explanations for human behaviour?
"Free will is defined as our ability to compared proposed actions to ideal standards, and if we can do this consistently through moral action guided by UPB, then we can be loved. This is the philosophical explanation. But psychologically, we need to put an emphasis on peaceful parenting, because 'loving' parents make it more likely for a child to develop a conscience, which then allows them to exercise free will, be moral and thus be loved. I use the term 'loving' here in reference to familial love which doesn't appear to be an involuntary response to virtue since children are still developing a capacity for free will.
"Therefore, psychologically, familial love creates a conscience, which then creates free will, which then creates moral action, which then creates love (both familial and romantic). The psychological chain thus begins with love, and ends with love. But the philosophical chain begins with free will and ends with love, since a bad childhood isn't an excuse for immoral behavior.
"How do we reconcile these two seeming contradictions, especially since peaceful parenting is emphasized as one of the most important levers for helping people be more open to free trade, property rights and UPB. If we say that peaceful parenting will lead to more virtue, are we undermining free will through introducing psychological determinism?"

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux unpacks ego-driven trauma faking connections, childhood neglect's wreckage, Christianity's masculinity erosion and ad psyops to arm you with honest parenting and ethical unbreakable bonds.
Questions:
"Why are most people so quick to protect their ego and so strangely unwilling to fully dissolve the trauma they both received and inflicted?"
"Childhood neglect. Who do you put it down as more damaging than physical abuse? What makes it so insidious in your opinion?"
"Can you talk about intentions, particularly in others, and when we should trust them? How about intuition, which seems closely related."
"Debate: humans are in consciousness, not of consciousness."
"Could you elaborate more on the downfall of masculine traits in Christendom? How it used to be, when it started to change and why, and how it could be put back on track."
"Do you think Trump's actions in Iran can be best explained by bribery, blackmail, deception, or ego-maniacal hubris?"
"A lot of private companies collect data on customers to sell for advertising purposes. Do you think this practice would still occur without the state benefiting from this surveillance as well?"
"When can we expect more peaceful parenting content?"
"What is philosophy? In one sentence."
"What is the definition of morality?"
"What is the most sinister Propaganda push currently, in your opinion?"

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux unpacks Iran's real average IQ near 84 via Richard Lynn's data, shattering online test myths, political censorship and ideological fury to reveal intelligence's raw grip on civilizations.
Questions:
"Would you say your love for the music of Freddy Mercury is the primary factor that has unconsciously influenced you to repeatedly make false claims on X that the average IQ of Iran is 104-106. Firstly Stef, I’m a man who is deeply fascinated by the topic of IQ. And having said that I know that the IQ of Iran is roughly 84. I of course am not an IQ scientist/researcher myself but I have several sources from the top IQ experts some of which you probably have heard of (or maybe even interviewed on your show!). Now data from the most prominent IQ scientist Richard Lynn confirms the average IQ of Iran to be 84 (Citation 'The Wealth of Nations (2002), pg.133'. Which conversely is not only 20 points lower than your outrageous 104 IQ claim but is also even lower than Iraq which is 87. Now of course in a country of 90 million people you might have a million people with an IQ of 104 and let’s say 90,000 people with an IQ of >129 (See Normal Distribution charts attached below). So you will have some very smart people in Iran, but these people are an extreme minority generated by the bell curve of genetics being thrown 90 million times!, so as a whole on average most of the 90 million Iranians are borderline intellectually disabled. Now Stef back to your claim. Your claim is OUTRAGEOUS! You claim the IQ of Iran is 104-106, which is complete nonsense. I mean Stef think about what you’re saying Stef. Your saying the IQ of Iran a dysfunctional country majority populated with brainwashed borderline mentally dysfunctional people is the same as a highly industrious, innovative and merit based futuristic tech megalopolis like Japan. I mean spend one day in Japan and spend one day in Iran and I imagine the experience would be like worlds apart, yet you Stef claim that the IQ of Iran is the same as Japan??? WHATTT???? Does randomly firing missiles every so often like a child having a tantrum prove anything but the government of Iran is full of low IQ dysfunctional people. Now I know the IQ of the government is not necessarily the same as the general population. BUT, if the IQ of the general population was really that much higher than the governing leaders, then those moronic leaders would have been deposed of by the people a long time ago. Yet they weren't, so we should infer the general population isn’t in fact that much more intelligent than the government’s. Stef, in the West you might encounter Iranians who are very smart, but it goes without saying this sample is a very biased sample. What is particularly strange about all this, is you Stef are a man with a very high knowledge about IQ’s effect on national wealth and civil decorum and functionality, yet despite Iran being a highly dysfunctional nation at practically any level you can look at, you Stef echo a claim that the IQ of Iran is the same as Japan and even higher than Western Europe! How ABSURD! Which brings me back to my initial question. (Continued...)
"@freedomain (Continuing on ->) So Stef, when otherwise rational people act out of character and push fake news based on data that is from a biased sample (or is possibly even data that has been manipulated and propagated as a psy-op by the Iranian government) when they otherwise wouldn't ordinarily do so, one naturally has to ask WHY??? In my opinion, I think I know the answer. Stef, the only thing that explains this BIZARRE behaviour of yours (tweeting unverified claims about IQ), is you Stef have a bias in favour of Iran which I think stems from your love of Freddy Mercury music. Would you agree Stef?
"(*** Stef you did tweet out a Youtube video of a Freddy Mercury song at about the same time you made your Iran IQ tweets, so I think the evidence is clear Stef, Freddy Mercury was on your mind, when you made those fake news Iran 104 IQ tweets.)
"Now, lastly Stef you might be asking, why putting out a FALSE tweet falsely claiming the IQ of Iran is 104 even matter's that much? To that I would say it matters a whole lot because IQ of course matters a whole lot, including in regards to military objectives and war. Like ask why would invading Iran be any different from Iraq? Did Trump invade Iran because he thought it would lead to a different outcome because Trump views the population of Iran to be quote 'high IQ people'? (as Trump even said so as much in the last 24 hours.)
"BUT … Mr. Trump, what if Iran isn't populated by high IQ people, what if Mr. Trump you were misled by fake news that Mr. Molyneux negligently tweeted rather than read the actual source material. (Lynn, 'The Wealth of Nations' (2002) IQ of Iran = 84). Well, Mr. Trump if you believed the average IQ of the population of Iran was 104 then you Mr. Trump might have assumed that all you had to do was take out the authoritarian government and then the high IQ population will swiftly bring about peace and democracy. But Mr. Trump, what if the average IQ of Iran is not 104? What if the top IQ scientists such as Lynn were right and the average IQ of Iran is in fact 84? Well then Mr. Trump, then your dealing with a very low IQ population, who will be frankly impossible to deal with, they will inevitably vote for another dictator and you Mr. Trump will find yourself in another forever war. That is why national IQ matters and that is why putting out false unverified and unsubstantiated tweets about IQ is a great error of judgment. Lastly to conclude, I believe in the great predictive power of IQ like you Stef, which is why I think it would be incumbent upon you to put out a correction unless you have verified sources from other top IQ researchers that support your OUTRAGEOUS Iran 104 National IQ claim."
"Hi Stef! when communicating philosophy or philosophical ideas to the average person, and they respond with confusion or indifference, how do we know whether we have failed to adequately relay the ideas or if it is just too complex a language for them to grasp? I know everyone is capable of understanding philosophy on some level even if they’re lower IQ, so could the disconnect come from the disparity of time spent in the subject?"
"Your Sunday (3/15) show was incredible. As a Catholic, that opening monologue challenging today's Christians to answer with clarity what Jesus commands via the Good Samaritan parable, especially when it comes to the specific child abuse scenario you laid out, it left me with a deep sense of sorrow for what you endured, and my own sense of frustration with the leadership of the Church.
"The reality that not one, no church leaders, Anglican or not, lay or religious influencers; no one has tried to dialogue with you to address these essential issues, when you have been pointing them out for decades is more than disappointing to hear.
"(Not as disappointing as some of the immediate live caller responses yesterday... the second woman was out of line, and the gentleman who landed on the idea that if you had not been abused, we wouldn't have received your philosophy gifts was hard to stomach.)
"Nonetheless, if one (myself) was going to try to reach out, share your 3/15 show and try to coordinate a dialogue just to deal with the Good Samaritan and cold abuse topic, is that something you would be comfortable with?
"second question
"a few days ago, someone asked about how you feel about the Shroud of Turin, maybe you missed it but there has been renewed interest in the Shroud the last few years when a new photo 'negative' that appeared in 2024 along with new studies that for many was very compelling ... from a reason and evidence standpoint... to the image being impossible to reproduce.
"I could be wrong but I felt like your answer lumped it so quickly with other things ... I believe u mentioned people of faith like Aquinas have searched for 'proof' for centuries. And you found that people of faith who are seeking proof to be an interesting paradox.
"are you able to revisit this topic and assess what authenticating (if we are to believe the new reporting) that specific historical artifact could mean for at least establishing how the image came to be on the cloth?
"again appreciate all u do to improve the world via philosophy and advocating for objective morality."
"America in WW2 has burned down some and bombed all the major cities in Japan, even using the atomic bomb to create a glimpse of hell never before seen on earth. Yet today, the alliance between US and Japan couldnt be friendlier. In the middle east, we’ve also bombed them to next week and back for 30 or so years. And they still, understandably, hate the US. What do you think causes this difference in point of view between the countries? Is it religion/culture? Could it be IQ? Forgive me if this is too politcal or naive a question. Thank you!"
"My martial arts club have a Hazing ritual that I believe is immoral and useless. I trying to get it banned.
"Whats your opinions on hazing? Is it for example always immoral?"

On this Sunday Morning Live on 15 March 2026, Stefan Molyneux uncovers the devastating link between Christianity and child abuse, exposing how the doctrine of forgiveness shields abusers while Christians stood idly by in his own painful experiences. He breaks down the parental fiction of "Look what you made me do!"—that ancient religious reflex to blame innocent children for adult sins—and demands true accountability over endless absolution. Through raw caller stories, he champions justice for kids, parenting rooted in empathy rather than original sin tyranny, and a fearless moral reckoning to shatter the illusions protecting religious communities.

In this Friday Night Live stream on 13 March 2026, Stefan Molyneux connects the conflict with Iran to what he sees as lingering superstition within Christianity, arguing that irrational beliefs continue to shape political decisions and international aggression. Callers raise questions about holding governments accountable and the foundations of morality, which leads into a discussion of Trump’s foreign policy record and its militaristic tendencies. He stresses the importance of bringing personal values into consistent alignment with behavior, placing heavy emphasis on individual responsibility, and invites listeners to explore his work on a universal, reason-based ethics as an alternative to faith-driven politics. The conversation moves between immediate geopolitical tensions and broader philosophical principles.

Appearing as a guest on the Scott Adams School, Stefan Molyneux reflects on personal agency and the pull of despair while paying tribute to Scott Adams. He addresses the particular struggles confronting younger people today and argues that moral courage combined with genuine optimism carries far more weight than dwelling in dark or defeatist stories. The discussion turns to justice and forgiveness, where he stresses that real reconciliation depends on meaningful accountability rather than avoidance. He ends by urging clarity within oneself despite surrounding chaos, encouraging those listening to keep seeking understanding and real human connection.

Stefan Molyneux takes up several listener questions and works through them using his framework of Universally Preferable Behavior. He defends a fully rational basis for ethics that stands apart from any religious foundation, while still making space for humility—especially when dealing with hostile or trolling responses in discussion. He examines how personal virtue connects to genuine love, looks at the way modern society handles crime and justice, and wrestles with the conflict that arises between faith and reason inside Christian thought. Toward the end he turns to the practical side of ideological disagreements, showing how they strain or even break personal relationships and offering ways to approach those tensions with clearer moral reasoning and calmer, more rational conversation.

You’ve had the same trolls on your live streams a few times. I’m curious to know why you allow them so much time to talk? Is there a lesson you’re trying to teach us?

I understand that it may tend to violate UPB, but surely it is useful to know for defensive stratagem and to understand the actions of the enemy.

Stefan Molyneux speaks with a caller whose depression stems from a painful childhood and a circle of shallow, unsatisfying friendships. He urges the man to take a hard look at these relationships and recognize how many of them drain rather than nourish him. Molyneux suggests that cutting contact—ghosting, in plain terms—can sometimes be the necessary step to protect one’s peace and start building self-respect. Only by clearing out the superficial ties, he argues, does space open up for deeper, more honest connections that actually matter.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller still reeling from a divorce that political disagreements helped tear apart, leaving him estranged from his son and carrying a heavy, persistent emotional weight—loneliness, regret, a sense that life has narrowed. The man also describes the practical grind of job hunting made harder by age, employment gaps, and the current climate. Molyneux listens, then points out that such breaks, however brutal, can expose long-hidden truths about relationships and force real self-examination. He urges the caller not to let bitterness settle in permanently, but instead to focus on steady, honest effort—building skills, maintaining character, proving competence in small ways—because those actions compound over time and can eventually shift what now feels immovable. Above all, he holds that hope is not naive optimism here, but a reasoned position: people recover from far deeper losses, and the caller can rebuild too if he keeps his attention on what he can still control.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller trapped in a deteriorating business partnership where his co-owner’s persistent heavy drinking has led to reckless decisions and mounting damage. He guides the man through the core issue of moral responsibility—why the partner’s choices are not the caller’s to fix indefinitely—and presses him to face the real costs of inaction, both to the business and to his own family’s security. The discussion centers on accountability in practical terms: what loyalty actually requires when one side keeps failing, and how clinging to a broken arrangement can itself become a form of neglect toward those who depend on him. By the close, Molyneux brings the caller to the threshold of a tough but necessary decision—whether to take firm steps, possibly ending the partnership entirely, in order to protect his family’s future from further harm.

In this Sunday Morning Live on 8 March 2026, Stefan Molyneux takes aim at the sophists who chip away at genuine philosophy and any serious engagement with society. He talks about handling anxiety and financial insecurity, stressing the need for practical preparation and inner resilience rather than wishful thinking. The conversation turns to justice and morality when he responds to a listener's provocative view on redemption, pushing back with his usual insistence on clarity and consistency in moral reasoning. Throughout, he urges people to pursue real philosophical understanding and points them toward his materials as a way to engage in honest, searching discussion.

For the 6 March 2026 Friday Night Live stream, Stefan Molyneux fields calls on morality and politics, looking back at his time on Alex Jones. He examines how corruption erodes societies, weighs the real meaning of freedom in places like Iran, and considers where economic liberty meets personal responsibility. In a discussion of what he calls "third-way Platonism," he digs into Socratic questioning and the central role of intention. He consistently pushes listeners toward honest self-examination and active participation in philosophical conversation.

Stefan Molyneux speaks with a caller who has been hammered by back-to-back disasters—an electrical fire that displaced his family and a car accident that involved his daughter. The man sounds exhausted and overwhelmed, but Molyneux stays steady, listening closely before guiding him toward practical resilience: accepting that pain doesn’t have to dictate the future and taking concrete steps like reaching out to build real connections and network for work when everything else feels closed off. By the end the caller’s tone shifts from defeat to quiet determination, as he starts to see a path forward—not because the problems disappear, but because he now has a clearer sense of how to begin climbing out.

He challenges the idea that personal feelings or subjective beliefs can stand on their own, insisting instead on objective reasoning as the foundation. The conversation moves through memory, consciousness, and what it means to be genuine in relationships, pushing callers to examine their ethical obligations and the deeper contradictions that shape human behavior.

Stefan Molyneux calls the film version of Wuthering Heights a “horny fairy tale” that distorts the original story by dropping it into an ahistorical multiracial setting. He picks apart the central relationship between Heathcliff and Catherine, pointing out its deep dysfunction, while touching on the racial stereotypes the novel carries and how the adaptation sidesteps them. He stresses that philosophical discussion demands clear definitions and honest reasoning, then turns to callers to examine wider questions of power, corruption, and moral decline in modern society.

Stefan Molyneux takes on a provocative idea that men lack genuine interest in women, viewing it through the lens of evolution. He makes the case that basic differences between men and women play a key role in building solid relationships and having kids. Along the way, he points out men's natural pull toward attraction and calls out societal pushes to mix up gender roles. Drawing from his own experiences, Molyneux stresses the need to accept those distinct traits to create stronger bonds and keep families intact.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a weary 35-year-old man who hesitates to start a family because he sees society unraveling into chaos and instability. Molyneux listens, then challenges the fear head-on: perfect conditions never arrive, history is always turbulent, and waiting for the world to fix itself is just another form of avoidance. He frames the decision plainly—either shrink back into safety and bitterness, or accept that real courage means building a life, raising children, and creating something worth protecting even when everything looks uncertain. Personal responsibility, he says, isn’t about mastering external events; it’s about mastering what you do with the time you’re given. By the conversation’s end the caller’s voice has changed—not free of doubt, but no longer paralyzed. Molyneux leaves him, and anyone listening, with the same stark point: the future isn’t handed to you. You have to decide, act, and live as though it actually matters—because it does.

As more callers join, he stresses the distinction between individual moral accountability and collective demands for justice, encouraging listeners to keep the conversation going and to back platforms committed to open, independent thought.

Stefan Molyneux fields calls on Freedomain that move seamlessly from the everyday mess of pet ownership to the tougher realities of business. One caller recounts the nonstop chaos at home—spilled bowls, escaped animals, the usual fur-covered disorder—and the laughter soon gives way to a more serious look at why people invest so much in pets, how they can ease a deeper sense of loneliness, and what that reveals about human connection. Another seeks marketing advice, and Stefan cuts straight to the essentials: forget gimmicks, concentrate on earning trust by consistently delivering real value, exceeding expectations when possible, and letting that reliability bring customers back. The shift between pet stories and business logic feels organic because both point to the same underlying need—for genuine, dependable bonds, whether with an animal that waits at the door or with people who return because they weren’t let down.

In Friday Night Live on the 27th of February 2026, philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines the escalating tensions in the Middle East, sharply criticizing the role American evangelicals play in pushing for war. He looks at Iran's nuclear program through a theological perspective, questioning the deeper beliefs driving these conflicts. When callers bring up personal struggles, he guides them toward self-empowerment and clear thinking, especially when dealing with manipulative or abusive situations. With his characteristic blend of humor and direct insight, he urges honest self-examination while cutting into the moral and political complexities of the day.

He pushes people to question beliefs that society has largely ignored or abandoned, and he doesn't shy away from the brutal facts around addiction and the often fragile nature of hope. On Bitcoin, he makes the case for its real worth. Throughout, he stresses facing regrets head-on rather than evading them, and he argues that relationships grounded in genuine integrity—rather than avoidance or pretense—are essential if someone wants meaningful personal growth and deeper human connection.

Stefan Molyneux looks at how mysticism, philosophy, and communication overlap, in response to a listener's question about higher powers, emphasizing the use of reason and precise definitions to cut through vagueness in talks about belief. The discussion covers ideas like consciousness, love, and attachment, with him arguing that genuine moral love goes beyond basic instincts. He points out the problems vague terms create in society and pushes for common definitions to improve how people communicate. On dreams, Molyneux sees them as straightforward experiences from life, not as sources of mystical insight. He wraps up by noting the role of clear thinking and rational talk in dealing with complicated aspects of life, and encourages people to express their thoughts with care.
Emails:
Hello Stefan,
Following your most recent, as of today, FDR podcast.(6292). I wanted to hopefully offer you some perspective that may or may not be helpful. As before, I understand that your time is valuable. I do think though that my perspective, linked to IQ and seeing things very differently to you, might be of aid.
The reason I have added this onto an existing email is just for familiarity because I will mildly use this backdrop for additional thoughts. I did talk to you briefly on podcast 6147. But I wanted to offer you my thought process here because it might offer you some insight into your value in a way you had not considered.
Firstly, what I believe is important background as to my perspective on this entire mysticism thing. I do believe in the existence of something higher and more powerful and that has communicated with us. Certainly, a little through the bible. But mostly not through the bible. There is channeling, including the human design chart, to back this up. So I do believe the new age at its core has some good concepts. BUT, I also believe that there is a huge, and incredibly powerful toxic element of the new age. There is a mix of non complete understandings and such. For this reason, I do think that your perspective and that of many who have similar perspectives is valuable. In that keeping things to objective reality. To challenge said toxicity. There is more to this understanding. But I think that explains the core of my thoughts. People that are truly inclined to the spiritual stuff I look at will find it. But people that don't really commit and use the bare minimum of it to justify madness. It is good that that is challenged.
it is similar in some ways, if you imagine a society that has innovators and Socrates following philosophers. The innovators want to do innovating and the Socrates people want nothing to exist or be real or whatever. Even though philosophy as a discipilne is extremely useful and powerful. Some of those innovators might be best served in dismissing it as the ravings of lunatics and just getting on with Innovating.
So I want to describe the dream I had that stopped me talking further about mysticism. I fully acknowledge none of this makes sense since I have no following. But it still might offer an interesting perspective. It is of course not likely that if I offered a genuine challenge to your view on that that evildoers would pick it up and run with it. But apparently the dreams thought it was a suitable fear to highlight. So I went with it.
My argument on mysticism would be as follows. This is not something I am committed to or care about but it was what I was thinking. It is now the story in something else I want to express. Firstly, your original statement is that mysticism is the gateway to mental illness. Firstly of course, I wrote to you on the definition of mysticism. Which I would use my own after having defined it due to the problems with yours that I highlighted. I would further refine that now by defining a primary and secondary faith. But anyway, per your argument, I would say, if mysticism is a gateway to mental illness. Then that would assume it would not in general, be used to solve mental illness. I would further refine the use of symbolic things to reach understandings. Such as tarot cards. By asking why do we dream. Why does our subconscious communicate in such a way? I would answer this by saying what is the alternative? The alternative being that without the subtlety and indirectness. The subconscious would communicate more like a dictator. Even giving the information without veil would have this effect. Since once we know the right thing to do we have more responsibility and consequences than before we know that.
So what does this sound like? This sounds like schizophrenia! I would then talk about how a possible theory for it, is that if the problem gets too serious. If the subconscious mind is screaming too loudly. It busts through the conscious/ subconscious barrier too loudly, and that's where this comes from. (This is roughly what I think happened with my schizophrenic break, some of my ideas come indirectly from the psychologist Elinor Greenberg who talks about how dreams help low level schizophrenics)
This would then correlate schizophrenia, and that kind of non objective, symbolic understandings. More with the symptom of other problems than with it being the cause. I would also define mainstream faith based Christianity as mysticism. As per my earlier example. And show times when this has been used to help people. Such as when the Ukraine war used to go a bit crazy women on Gab used to put loads of Christian sayings out. Women cannot biologically deal with war, but they still have fear, so a tool like mysticism to reduce the fear is perhaps highly positive.
So now I get to the point. Like I said and strongly believe. It is unlikely evildoers would take such a reasoning as this and run with it to dent your power. But the dreams still responded like this was the case. The dream I had, (I do not like to tell others my dreams I prefer to interpret but I am making an exception here). I was about to make a few youtube videos on this. But I had a dream with Pearl Davis being aggressively tortured. She has mentioned a few times over the years how she has been sued and things. It was a pretty shocking dream. It felt kind of real. But what I think it could mean, is that your platform and output in this kind of social war, was significantly impacting people like Pearl by pushing back on intensely female and active toxicity we are currently witnessing (Taking us back to the point on mysticism and the Socrates philosophers analogy).
I realise you might not interpret it the same way. Like, you might believe that all individuals in our dreams are parts of ourselves along a Family Systems therapy line. But I just wanted to provide that feedback in case it does provide some perspective or help in some way.
Best Wishes,
Joe
It has been some years since I listened to your last podcast, 'Why animals can't love.' At that point, I quit Molyneaux.
It has occurred and re occurred to me that you continued to make consciousness or choice the mandatory when it comes to capacity to love.
This thinking backs exactly into a contradiction. We know that infants have neither consciousness nor choice, yet, any parent knows the infant loves. Toddlers are compelled to love, but they love nonetheless. Teenagers, etc. Not only compelled to love, but can be. Of course, Molyneaux would say, 'But that's no real love.' But some of it is. The child still wants to love the parent even when virtue (lack) seeks to negate. Some part of that child does still love.
I always believed that your false philosophy on animals and love conditions backed directly into the right, even obligation, to abort children. The threadline of your 'philosophy' justified abortion. Since the infant has no choice or consciousness. He is more animal, less human. The right to kill seems elementary.
That's always deeply concerned me that something is off center in your work. Mean spirited. Resentful. Death-loving. A hint of Crowley, even though 98% of your takes are good. I know you made your cash on bitcoin. Congratulations. Make an atheist like yourself proud. Your constant promise that you'd go down as a philosopher great, today and/or in 400 years from now, shows no evidence.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a woman stuck in a three-year relationship where simple communication keeps breaking down. He traces the repeated stalemates to deep cultural differences and, more critically, to unprocessed family wounds both partners carry from childhood. Rather than offering quick fixes, he questions her on whether this man can realistically provide the emotional stability and mutual responsibility a serious partnership requires. He then brings the question of future children into sharp focus, asking her to weigh what kind of home and example they would inherit from such a dynamic. The conversation circles back repeatedly to what real love actually asks of people in daily practice and how much each person must own their own past behavior, leaving her with a clearer, if more painful, picture of the relationship’s prospects.

Stefan Molyneux looks at the philosophical and moral sides of artificial intelligence, particularly where it crosses with copyright laws and its effects on society. He points out how AI draws from copyrighted materials without getting permission, which brings up issues around intellectual property. Molyneux draws a comparison between standard ways of learning and what AI can do as a customized tutor, noting its ability to deliver information suited to individual needs. He cautions that AI could lower the worth of conventional media and put authors' incomes at risk by turning their creations into commodities. Molyneux calls for an approach where AI firms get approval from the original creators, stressing the importance of acknowledging authors' work as AI becomes more common.

In this public portion of 15 February 2026's Sunday Morning Live, Stefan Molyneux examines the links between addiction, childhood trauma, and societal isolation, reflecting on its messy realities and the need for personal accountability in environments shaped by neglect. Drawing from his experiences and cultural insights, he shows how loneliness pushes people toward substances as a way to cope, tracing the cycles that trap those predisposed to it amid the tension between real connections and shallow societal demands. He highlights the challenge of building deep relationships in a world of empty interactions, framing addiction as an escape from inner turmoil, and calls for self-awareness to confront its broader damage while finding paths to healing through genuine bonds and candid talk.

Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller who has been thinking that relationships ultimately outweigh power. They stress that truth is the foundation of any meaningful connection—without it, things fall apart. The caller describes a recent breakup where his emotions were exploited and financial expectations turned the relationship into a transaction, linking much of this back to childhood neglect that left him feeling unseen and still affects how he attaches and trusts. Molyneux insists honesty and real vulnerability are essential; anything less just drags out the pain. They conclude that genuine bonds require shared core values and true empathy—otherwise, it’s only loneliness dressed up as closeness.

Stefan Molyneux examines how everyday choices in relationships quietly determine personal happiness or its absence. He works through listener questions—routed via AI—to expose the deeper issues of virtue, ethics, and the childhood conditioning that blocks authentic living. At the heart of it lies the familiar struggle between craving social acceptance and insisting on personal truth; he shows how societal demands routinely suppress genuine self-expression in favor of safer conformity. He urges people to look squarely at their own decisions: are they choosing partners, friends, and routines according to real values, or simply following what feels easiest and least threatening? The alternative he presents is not flashy but deliberate—a consistent habit of philosophical self-scrutiny that first brings individual clarity, then stronger relationships, and eventually a society less built on compromise.

Stefan Molyneux examines the difficult decision to separate from toxic or abusive family members, advising that honest communication should be tried first even though genuine change is often impossible. He draws a firm distinction between involuntary blood ties and chosen relationships, insisting that family loyalty must never override personal safety or mental health, and suggests therapy as a tool to clarify whether to stay or leave—though it guarantees nothing. He rejects the prevailing view that family must always come first, arguing that staying entangled with destructive people blocks healthier connections and perpetuates harm. Ultimately, he maintains that separation, however painful, typically fosters personal growth and breaks destructive cycles, creating a safer environment for any future children or generations.

He points out the drop from about $78,700 down below $60,000, tied to wider market strains and worries about shifts in Federal Reserve policies.

In this Friday Night Live on 6 February 2026, Stefan Molyneux opens with a personal update and some thoughts on livestreaming before turning to broader questions of morality, society, and history. He examines the role of capital punishment in historical England, arguing that it played a part in keeping crime rates down and supporting cultural development.
Molyneux then breaks down Robert Axelrod’s Prisoner’s Dilemma simulations, showing where the well-known “Tit for Tat” strategy falls short in more complicated, real-world relationships.
Drawing from listener questions, he comments on celebrity culture, gender dynamics, and the particular pressures faced by those who speak uncomfortable truths. He closes with a candid reflection on his life as a public thinker and makes a case for greater accountability in public conversation.

Drawing a parallel to how people act in their own neighborhoods, he shows the stark gap in how the elite are held accountable compared to everyone else. That gap prompts questions about whether we can trust those in power and if our political systems hold up, pushing for a closer look at the uneven moral rules at play.

Stefan Molyneux looks into what morality really means, asking if ethical rules stand on their own or get molded by society and religion. He pushes for a set of ethics that applies everywhere, takes aim at hedonism, and stresses lasting contentment rather than quick thrills. Along the way, he points out how being real and open matters in personal connections, responds to pushback on his idea of Universally Preferable Behaviour, and considers how imbalances of power affect moral choices. In the end, Molyneux calls for ethics built on logic and shared gains to cut down on clashes in mixed communities.

Stefan Molyneux takes on objections to Universally Preferable Behavior as a moral framework. He pushes back against the idea that morality stands on its own, stressing the need for clear definitions in any philosophical talk. When it comes to tying morality to gods or divine sources, he points out that fuzzy claims don't hold up as real arguments. Molyneux questions whether morality can just be about chasing the good, the true, and the beautiful, pulling in examples from religious texts to show the inconsistencies there. He looks back at how Christian morality has fallen short over time and doubts whether theocratic setups really deliver on ethics. In the end, he calls for a straightforward grasp of morality and what UPB means in practice, urging people to check their own biases and lean on real-world evidence in these discussions.
Email from listener:
UPB reduces down to "Morality is being". Or "By the act of living, you prefer life". Or Universal Preference for Being. But even without beings, morality still exists. So morality is God based, and is the rational pursuit of, participation in, and defense of the Good, the True, and the Beautiful (with evil being precisely whatever actively undermines or destroys those ends). Plato would agree. Jesus said, to love God with all your mind heart soul and strength, and love others as yourself, and the whole of the law rests on these two principles. It means to fight for the Good, the True, and the Beautiful - for order. Of course, this can only be done through rationality and power. So, the Good must take the power back. This cannot be done through secular materialism which only reduces to hedonism. People that hear their conscience seek rationality and God more than anything else, because everything else is temporary.
However, Christianity displays false theories. The biggest one is the idea that an innocent person needed to suffer and be sacrificed for evils committed by everyone else. God would never require this because God is 100% good. The reality is that Jesus needed to be killed and resurrected so that His story would be way bigger and spread Goodness to way more people, and last forever. So, he did die for sins in that sense alone, so that more people would hear His story and turn away from sin.
There is no other practical moral framework to turn to. Philosophy alone is rational, but it does not ground morality the same way God does. Actually, rationality requires one to accept God. Without God, people literally have absolutely no reason to be moral at all. And Deism's impersonal God doesn't connect with people. Christianity was working until the Jews brainwashed society and the Church and destroyed its influence on society. Notwithstanding its misinterpretations, Christianity appears to be the only effective thing people can actually believe in and follow.
And Neitzche would say the will to power is too potent for UPB to control. However, Christianity at least affords a will to power of the True, the Beautiful, and the Good. Jesus whipped the little bastards in the Temple. That needs to come back, because that is all the little bastards can understand.
Someone wants steak for dinner and the other person doesn't, or go hungry forever, that does not make the steak guy forcing the other to eat the steak immoral. UPB is a logical construction that fails in the real world, and honestly, not even to be a jerk, but literally no one at all gives the slightest fuck about it. Sorry for the language.
And I really do appreciate your efforts and all your good works. And sure, UPB is a true logical construction, but people are irrational and will never be rational. And that is why the real world philosophy is 100% might makes right. And this is why Christianity must be forced down their throats until the world is functional again. Irrational people only understand force, and Christianity is the valid, justified, moral, virtuous, reason and purpose of true physical force against irrational and evil people.
There is an attempt at logic in UPB, and it sort of works, but not really.
Morality already existed before Mankind, and UPB only points out the effects of immorality, it does not define morality.
And lastly, to include with all the arguments I have made against UPB. I will just say that bottom line, UPB is merely a survival instinct desire and not the creation of morality. Every person would agree that they don't want to be attacked or stolen from, simply because they want to live and survive, so that would make that universally preferable behavior. However, because this is all survival instinct based, as soon as a person sees a chance to steal or attack, that best serves their own survival, they will immediately not care the slightest about UPB because they are about their own survival over everyone else's. UPB is matter-based biologically-based morality, and simply does not hold up, just like all the other secular ethical frameworks before it - they all failed, and all secular ethical frameworks will always fail. This is because God-based, soul-based morality is the only Truth, as proven at dynamicentity.com

Stefan Molyneux digs into the philosophical roots of how morals and culture get passed down, looking at how societies build up over time through shared knowledge. He points out the risks when governments take over education, swapping out long-held values for ideas that suit their own agendas and wearing away at cultural foundations. Molyneux breaks down what happens when authority moves from families to the state, saying it opens the door to brainwashing and breaks the links between older and younger folks. He picks apart the flaws in everyday ways of justifying right and wrong, pushing instead for a moral setup that's consistent across the board and rooted in logic. In the end, he urges building a system of ethics based on solid reasoning and facts, while cautioning about the downsides of seeing morals as relative or letting politics push too far.

"This is always the hardest one for me:: To what extent should we let people suffer the consequences of their actions?"
This lecture examines the delicate balance between allowing individuals, particularly children, to experience the consequences of their actions and the instinct to protect them from harm. Through personal anecdotes and the lens of Aristotle's philosophy, the discussion highlights the importance of finding equilibrium between accountability and shielding. It explores developmental milestones in responsibility, contrasting the abilities of children and adults to manage their choices, supported by case studies on resilience and self-ownership. The lecture also addresses the evolutionary roots of protective instincts in parenting, the complementary roles of mothers and fathers, and the impact of societal structures on individual accountability. Ultimately, it prompts a reflection on personal responsibility and societal support, urging for a more nuanced understanding of when consequences are appropriate in fostering growth and well-being.

"If we accept the principle of non-contradiction as the foundation of logic how do you resolve the apparent contradiction of an uncaused cause?"

Stefan's 2 October 2025 tweet: https://x.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1973644303437308009
A fascinating look at the impact of Western Colonialism which separates the facts from the fiction regarding this incredibly controversial topic. What were the effects both positive and negative of countries existing under British rule? Is the history of your ancestors true - or is it filled with rampant propaganda? What is the historical impact of western imperialism?

[NOT REAL NAMES]
I was in the parking lot of the Catholic church near my home that I used to attend up until I was in high school. I saw Jeff from my high school and said hello to him and then pointed to my son who was walking down the street, and I said to Jeff, “Kids can walk – and don’t need to be driven everywhere by their parents.” Both Jeff and I laughed.
The church is right next to a big pond and I looked out at the pond and saw how breathtakingly beautiful the view of the pond was, with the bright sun in the clear blue sky – just like it was when I was a child.
I walked down the grassy incline to the edge of the pond and noticed something lying in the water, so near to the edge that I could see it very clearly. It looked like 2 dead bodies, one adult and one child, wearing very brightly colored clothes lying very still in the shallow water. At first, I thought it must have been an illusion.
Just then, I saw another guy from my hometown, who is a close friend of my younger brother, walking along the edge of the pond with his wife and child. I said, “Hi Tom” – but he didn’t react at all and just kept walking towards me. He continued walking towards me and when he was right near me, I called his name again. He still didn’t react at all and just walked by me with a blank look on his face. Just after he passed me by I told him my name, and then he turned back around and said hello to me – and then we started talking.
Then I started talking off my socks and shoes to get in the water, and he asked me why I’m doing that as it was cold outside – too cold of a day to go in the water. I pointed to the 2 bodies lying under the water and told Tom that I wanted to confirm if they are real.
There was a kid’s plastic pail and shovel on the ground, and I picked up the little shovel and waded into the water up to my knees. I looked down into the water and now could only see the child’s body lying on the ground under the shallow water. I reached down and held the child’s little hand, and as I tried to lift her hand I could see that her arm was buried under the sand. I started digging with the little plastic shovel but couldn’t extricate her arm because she was wearing a sweater that was stuck/buried in the sand.
I realized that I couldn’t pick up the child’s body and place it on the shore by myself, so I turned back to Tom, who was still standing there by the side of the pond, and asked him to call 911 to get some help. That was the end of my dream.

"Why do you tend to focus on ethical questions? The answer is always ultimately God, which philosophy argues is an appeal to authority. If the authority doesn't just have the truth, but is the truth, then what is the issue with appealing to God?"
"Do objects in the natural world have an essential quality or are their attributes constructed in the effort to make sense?"
"You mentioned on recent episode how no prior philosopher discussed childhood, parenting and childhood trauma and thats what prompted your book 'peaceful parenting'
"Why do you think it’s the case?"
"Would UPB apply to an alien race of sentient, intelligent beings, or could their evolution have driven them toward a value system that would be completely incompatible with a human value system?"
"You said: 'It is my firm belief that illness often follows a lengthy period of feeling useless.
"Having a purpose – especially a moral purpose – keeps you healthy.'
"Can you explain the physiology behind that first statement? I mostly agree with the second."
"Ultimately the left/right divide is equality vs freedom. Both are necessary for a society to function. What would be the best form of government to enact a sensible balance between the two?"
"Could exile be a legitimate non-violent extension of shunning when an individual persistently breaks the social contract?"
"A proposition: Hard determinism is true, our belief in agency is the veil that separates from a non-dual, “enlightened” understanding and perception of reality."
"Ideas of the supernatural rule out the possibility of materialism since they 1) should be inexplicable in observed nature 2) are irreducible in quality and 3) cannot be created ex nihilo. Either we experienced the supernatural or our mind is part immaterial."
"Do you have any thoughts on Taoism?"
"I was pushed into marriage at 18 by the Baptist couple that 'adopted' me in high school. They were so afraid I’d embarrass them by having premarital sex or something, but they also wanted me to be college educated before having kids. We didn’t make it through college together and I was divorced and devastated at 21 and they 'disowned' me.
"I went on to graduate, got a great job and proved to everybody (as if that matters) that I was a success regardless of being raised in the underworld.
"Fast forward to turning 30, biological clock, FOMO, all my friends having babies. I married the next guy that seemed to have it all together and I ended up a single mom of 2 for the next 14 years.
"All this sounds so degenerate that it’s hard to admit. But I’m married to a “good” man now that my kids love and I think it’s been good for them to have a 'dad' finally, even though I did everything wrong.
"My philosophical question is, after making so many mistakes, can I be useful now to help others not make the same mistakes or should I just shut up forever?"
"If God warns us not to do something, but gave us free-will to disobey - was it always his plan for Man to dissent?"
"Are hedonistic people truly happy? Or is the happiness they seem to feel just an illusion?"
"How do you get a philosophy graduate off your porch?
"Thank him for the pizza..."
"If the Communist Control Act of 1954 (50 U.S.C. §§ 841–844) declares that communism is both a political conspiracy and a 'clear and present danger,' then where does the line fall between protecting liberty and destroying it in the name of protection?"
"Why does the education system persist despite how fast everyone outside of it is learning things?"
"The epigenetic question.... Does the experience of past Generations translate into the lived experience"
"If energy is the foundation of all reality (if you look deep enough all matter can be expressed as energy), and energy is a quasi-metaphysical concept that operates within physical contextual framing and parameters, does that imply that energy is a metaphysical concept, and thus all of physical reality is a branch of metaphysics?"
"Does intrinsic - objective - value exist?"
"If it can be proven that we live in a simulation, how should we act?"
"Tangential to recent discussions, how about a classic: What is justice? What is revenge?"
"I'm stuck on the fact that there is no evidence of god/gods, but the idea that at some point, matter just came into existence out of nothing is also equally unbelievable for me."
"Is man inherently evil? How is a society kept together without absolute chaos if man is inherently evil? Is it a knowledge of a base morality within us as human beings? How do we know good from evil?"
"What are your thoughts on music & it’s effects, does it have an effect? For instance listening to classical music vs hip hop music."
"My wife sets the tone in our relationship, as she clearly won't adjust her behavior. Should I let her set the tone and follow suit, so to speak? Could you elaborate on the credo that 'you treat them as they treat you'? Does this apply to my wife?"
"How do you strike a balance between accepting others imperfections vs holding others to a certain standard in business and or personal relationships"

In this segment from the 28 September 2025 Sunday Morning Live Donors stream, Stefan explores the complexities of toddler behavior and effective parenting strategies through the lens of a parent's experience with their three-year-old son asserting autonomy in choosing the order of sock-wearing. He discusses the natural power struggle that arises as children test boundaries, suggesting that parents can foster reasoning skills by engaging in open dialogue rather than giving in to demands. Key concepts include negotiating desires, recognizing the universality of rules through Kant's categorical imperative, and understanding the importance of trade-offs in social interactions. Ultimately, Stefan advocates for parents to expose their children to discussions around preferences and boundaries to promote empathy and critical thinking as they mature.

Stefan Molyneux reflects on the dynamics between men and women within the frameworks of meritocracy and inequality, drawing connections to historical civilizations. He discusss the evolution of societal structures and the psychological motivations that shape our interactions, particularly how the elimination of scarcity fosters a competitive meritocracy that can exacerbate inequality. Stefan explores the contrasting perspectives of men and women regarding success and competition, highlighting the inherent differences in their responses to disparities and their roles as nurturers. Through personal anecdotes, he examines the importance of accountability and the societal implications of our inability to reconcile mistakes. Ultimately, Stefan critiques the cultural trend of seeking forgiveness without true contrition, advocating for a more nuanced understanding of moral responsibility in our communities.

"There seems to be a lot of resignation among the Right.
"No matter how violent the Left gets, the Right is not allowed to fight back with violence.
"Of course, I, like others on the right, do not advocate the use of violence under any circumstances whatsoever."
"what's the point of playing board games when the world - at least those who have most power over the direction of the World are sort of hellbent on making impossible for people to simply enjoy a forty-five to sixty minutes puzzle to solve?"
"I believe you have said in the past that unjustly harming others, especially in cases where restitution is impossible, leaves a permanent scar on the unconscious. Could you elaborate on the dynamics behind that?
"And if someone regrets the irreparable harm they caused and devoted their life to advocating against their harmful actions, how would that impact their unconscious?"
"is there such a thing as a collective consciousness? I was watching a video about what it is to be English and they used this phrase."

"I dreamed i was on the 8th floor of an apartment building, where my family of origin lived in the layout of their first floor of their house. I was watching porn and it was providing dopamine. I wanted to find this particular video but i couldn't and left my room. My older brother wanted to play a strategy game on my pc, i let him. I went out to the living room and was sitting on the couch thinking about the porn. I wanted to go back to my pc to look at it. There were tremors and the building shook. My mom came out wearing my baby daughter and started yelling at my brother for gaming so much. It was true that he was gaming nonstop for 6 hours. I got mad at my mom and told her that maybe she should be curious why he has such a massive hole in his dopamine that he's trying to fill with gaming, and to leave him be. My mom got pissed and stormed off. More tremors shook the tall apartment building. I fled and I went to the first floor and met some kid who said he came up from the negative seventh floor. I was surprised how deep the building went. I asked him to show me. He did, he took me down this concrete staircase down several flights, another staircase, another few floors. The layout was winding and confusing, going further into the earth. Eventually we were at the bottom, it evoked terror in me. It was concrete, clean, evidence of habitation, deep, isolated, no sunlight, safe, suffocating. There was a bed on the floor, a desk with a banner behind it, and several more rooms I dared not explore. He went up and i followed right after him."

Good evening Stef, would you say that you are the same person that you were , 10,20,30 years ago? If you have changed, is it possible that when people say that their partners changed, resulting in the end of their relationship, that maybe there is some truth to it?
Have you done a 'Truth About' episode on Siblings? If not, can you consider doing one? You dropped a thought in a recent Livestream that really got me thinking.

Hi Stef, not sure if this is much of an argument but I had something I'd like your thoughts on. Some creative writing on my part combined with some skepticism inspired by one of your characters from the 'The Future', I think you might know who I'm talking about. Feel free to rebut this with some creative writing too if you find it appropriate. :)
"Do we mirror reality, and if so which parts of reality?"
"Are animals not a part of reality? And are we not more animal than object? Why then should we look towards objects as a source of direction for how we should live our lives?"
"Contradiction? Bah. Only heaven itself can afford the luxury of consistency. When put inside of a mortal body, I dare say even the sun itself would have days that it would feel like hiding its glorious light."
"To live according to logic and rationality is to try to make ourselves Gods. But we are not. We have the capacity to see a glimpse of godhood, but so long as we need to eat, sleep and reproduce, we will forever remain animals struggling against the hand of death."
"The humble farmer toils on his soil and regardless of how consistent he is in his labours, the locusts will devour that which he has sown."
"So tell me Mr Philosopher; to whom does the farmer partition for his lost crop?"
What is it about human beings that gives them the unique capacity to be sadistic? This question was inspired by my reading of “Survival I’m the killing fields”. Some the things the communists did to people is not something I can comprehend.
Hey, Stef! How do you stop ruminating over people? my family is one to sweep things under the rug a lot and certain members seem to be in a consistent cycle of failure. my mother is an enabler and complains about it but never does anything to stop it. I distance myself from my family and only occasionally visit them because it's usually a very draining experience but I do ruminate over them and I really wish they didn't live in my head. any tips?! Thank you!

Divorced, remarried, I have one boy from the first marriage and two boys from the second one. After my first son was born, I managed to gradually work myself into one of these two horrible choices: catastrophic marriage or catastrophic divorce. I chose the second one out of selfishness and fear that I would replicate my parent's marriage. I denied my older son the joy of seeing his parents in love and I will forever be sorry for that.
When I had my second boy with my current wife, she became very cold and distant to the one from the first marriage, which I suppose is quite normal when having to take care of a baby.
But after all this time she still seems reluctant to fully accept my firstborn into our family when he's with us. I know that philosophy is about prevention, not cure, and I'm sure that my kids will never end up where I am right now, but any tips on how to help my family be happier would be greatly appreciated.
Oh Stefan! I would love a show on how to throw an amazing dinner party! Sounds like you're a pro at it!
Hey Stef, we have antibiotics, internet, relative peace and freedom and I most probably will not die as a drafted soldier, but I am still unable to feel gratitude and make myself happier just because my ancestors lived in incomparably worse conditions. Even if I am the 2nd wealthiest generation in the World history I tend to perceive myself as a tax slave in a luxury barn. Would you have any tips on how to practice gratitude and how to teach gratitude to my children?
How to wish well rationally?
In your presentation "Vampire Love Kills!" you describe that stating "you're lucky" means admitting helplessness to achieve goals like having a six pack through hard work at the gym. Is "Freedomain dot com slash donate" the new well wishing phrase? You keep referring to the shortness of your remaining days which is depressing.
PART 1
Thank you for answering my previous question regarding the rationality of child abuse. I’d like to continue that discussion if possible by raising a few points. First I’d like to clarify why this matters to me personally because without the context, I think we might misunderstand our intentions.
My brother recently became a parent. I tried to advocate for peaceful parenting (this was before you finished the book), and he said he trusted more in how he was raised, with corporal punishment. The typical points of “I turned out fine”, etc were raised by him. It was a lost cause, and by the end of it, he felt as though his honour was challenged by me calling it cowardly. He wanted to spar with me in a ring for 5 rounds as a way for me to prove my point (he’s older than me by 4 years and also more muscular). The only other way he’d accept my proof would be through raising my own children peacefully and seeing what kind of adults they would be. At that point course, the damage to his own children would already be done.
Long story short this was the end of our relationship. I have grieved, and I’m still in the process of accepting things, but a part of that process for me is steel manning his position. Maybe in seeing it completely destroyed I’ll have more peace of mind. As such in Part 2, I shall continue to play devils advocate. There might appear to be some level of disassociation in part 2 since there is clearly an emotional undercurrent to this discussion. A call-in might be good, but for this I prefer the slower process of contemplating and responding through argumentation. The emotions are still being processed and this sore emotional underbelly might also be why I haven’t yet read peaceful parenting.
First I think you made a few fantastic points which are worth repeating and rephrasing just to make sure I understand you.
- “If you can’t hit any characteristic of a child, how can you hit a child?” I.e. if there is no justification for violence against someone with a single characteristic of a child, how can violence be justified when you have those characteristics in aggregate?
- “Rationality is an abstract thing and abstract things judge abstract things. You don’t judge particular actions, you judge arguments. It’s a category error to say that reason should judge individual actions.” I.e. Reason is a standard that we use for judging the quality of abstractions. If we want to judge the quality of actions outside of practicality, we use morality.
- “Practicality is taking the steps in order to achieve a goal. Morality is universally preferable behaviour.” I.e. something is given the quality of being ‘practical’ when it makes it likely that a given goal will be achieved. Something is given the quality of being ‘moral’ when it is universally preferred and enforceable.
With these points in mind, I have a question regarding point 3. If the act of copying yourself / reproduction is universally observed across all living organisms, does this qualify as a universally preferable behaviour? Since morality is exclusive to human beings, then does reproduction both (physically or memetically) qualify as a universally preferable behaviour since human beings show a universal preference for this?
If it is universally preferable to reproduce, with memetic reproduction as one part of this process, then child abuse can be considered a form of memetic reproduction that has a moral status because it is an enforceable subset of a universally preferable behaviour (reproduction). On the other hand, memetic and physical reproduction is goal oriented and practical. Since you made a distinction earlier between the practical and the moral, is this not a case of the two overlapping? If the two can overlap, then are we back to the point I was arguing earlier of rationality and practically overlapping, since you said that morality is a subset of reason.
The key mechanism here is to first say that reproduction is a UPB. Then to say that child abuse is a form of reproduction (memetic). Once child abuse is seen as a form of reproduction, it has moral and rational status. On the other hand, reproduction is also practical. Therefore, you have the moral/ rational intersecting with the practical.
Thank you in advance.
I am struggling with how to navigate raising children: should I participate in creating the belief that Santa Claus exist ?
I don’t have children, but actively planning to have children.
I’m leaning towards not wanting to participate in creating the belief in Santa Claus because it seems like a huge deception. When I explain to people why I don’t find it healthy for children to be deceived then I’m typically met with “oh! you have to! it’s just for fun! it’s magical! It’s Christmas! It’s part of childhood!”
My best answer would be to explain to my children that Santa Claus is not real, explain the concept, and allow them to enjoy the fictional character.
( Then , I’ll face the problem when my child tells other children that Santa Claus is fictional, future podcast question I suppose, lol)
Recently, you’ve said that Izzy is quick to identify contradictions because you’ve never asked her to believe in contradictions.
I recall the age I realized Santa Claus wasn’t real, but feared if I let anyone know then I wouldn’t be getting as many gifts. This led me to develop an ability to deceive the “giver” into “yes, I’ll believe what you want in order for me to get what I want”.
It all seems so innocent when looking at a fat jolly man dressed in a red suit.
Is Santa Claus (maybe include Easter bunny, tooth fairy, other pagan folk lore, etc) a contradiction that Izzy was never asked to believe in?
thanks!
Hello Stefan!
My first question is: How can I become a more content person?
For example, I fall into a cycle of saying, "This is going to be our forever home!" and then after a few years, I start dreaming of something bigger and better, getting excited about the prospect of moving again. I can't seem to go 3-4 years without feeling the itch to move up!
My second question is: Why am I struggling with feeling left out?
Maybe my two questions are somehow linked. Lately in my community and circle of mom/homeschooling/neighborhood friends, I've been aware of recent instances where I haven't been invited to join a dinner or gathering. Logically, I tell myself that it's okay! We live in a small town and I don't have to be invited to everything! Emotionally it still hurts though.
Thank you!

I have written my first article in years for the amazing new Islander magazine. It's called "Losing the Language of Freedom," and it is a must-read!
You can get the magazine here:
https://lotuseaters.com/islander-2-11-09-24
QUESTIONS
"Related to your post of death by heroism.
"Is creating and nurturing life a superpower, e.g. creating families?
"I can scarcely imagine the amount of joy there is in been involved as a parent, and seeing the progression in your daughter for example.
"Why do the man-children avoid it? What is the fear?"
"Hi Stef, I'm a couple of weeks behind on your show and working on catching up! If this has been mentioned before then please skip over my question :) I heard on the lotus eaters podcast that you have contributed an article in their latest issue of the islander magazine, which had me immediately purchase it. As a UK citizen I find their podcast to be very useful in navigating the maelstrom that my country has become over the past 2 months, so I am excited to hear that my favourite guide in moral reasoning (you) is collaborating with them again. It will be a few weeks before it is printed/posted out so I was wondering if you could drop any hints about the subject of your article? If you think that it's best that I wait to find out for myself then I fully understand!"
"Apologies if it has been asked before, but I read implicit in your philosophy that God (if such an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent being exists) has not made his approval known of any particular religion. Is the question of God and any potential source of divine revelation outside of the scope of your interest, does it seem like God has not approved of any religion or that any and all miracles are not credible, or something else entirely?
"I ask this because as a Catholic I glean divine approval of Traditional Catholicism (such as it was before John XXIII) from the miracles of Catholic saints and the eucharist (and besides that the truth of the testimony of many Catholic martyrs)."
"How can you tell the difference between a legitimate desire or need and a narcissistic impulse that demands to be satisfied? Sometimes I feel like the boundary between self-care and self-indulgence is blurry."
"I posted a lengthy question in this thread a few hours ago on my relationship struggles. But then I remembered the RTR AI and pasted my question to it and received a thorough and amazingly helpful response. I’ve deleted my question here to give others more opportunity to get theirs answered, and want to call out the RTR AI and its benefits."
"What do you think of the new YouTube policy where they will restrict/hide fitness & exercise content for teenagers because 'it can lead to negative self beliefs and body image disorders'"
"Hi Stef, I'm noticing recently on Gab and other right majority platforms a marked rise in hatred for capitalism, ultimately basing their criticisms on things that are the direct results of state action. Why is it that many right-leaning people clearly understand the social consequences of government action, but appear to dismiss it entirely when it comes to economics?"

Stefan answers listener questions!
"How quickly into your first interaction with a girl can you determine how compatible you will be with each other? Is it how she receives you? Like you can make her smile and laugh and she receives you well? She has open body language and wants eye contact? Is it something that’s judged in the first interaction or something that can be felt out over time? Thank you for your time."
"Why ducks? I won't be able to sleep or consider any universal abstractions until I know!
"Here is my theory.
"Premise 1: Stef is bald.
"Premise 2: Ducks lay eggs.
"Premise 3: Bald heads look like eggs. Especially bald caucasian heads which might be spotted in old age.
"Premise 4: Women have a maternal drive to protect and bond with fragile young creatures.
"Conclusion: Stef could have chosen puppies, or kittens as pets for his daughter, but those were lacking philosophically! Why, you ask?
"Stef chose ducks so that his daughter would subconsciously transfer her maternal instincts that she developes for the eggs towards Stef, whose head when freshly shaved is reminiscent of a duck egg.
"While proposing that love is our involuntary response to virtue, Stef's secret mission is for love to be an involuntary response to egg like heads, thereby allowing him to have more persuasive power with female audiences who control sexual access. His daughter is the first test case for this before he scales it to the wider population.
"DEBUNK ME BRO!"
"How do you select employees? I'm interested in how you ensure they are moral to avoid hiring fat people to write recipes for a diet book so to speak. What level of immoral/unethical/unprofessional behaviour would lead to you firing them?"
"Can you give some examples/strategies to contradict people in public to expose their true nature/character?"
"Moral frameworks are intrinsically social because they rely on social acceptance and enforcement. When a new moral framework is conceived, it has to overthrow an existing moral framework, and if the adherents of the old framework aren't happy to be labelled as evil or lacking morally, they will fight the new framework tooth and nail. Does this mean that introducing a new moral framework requires a compromise on some issues in order for it to even have the chance of being widely adopted?
"This is like a presidential candidate compromising some of his stances on particular issues in order to be more acceptable to the public. Or as you’ve once said, ‘Are there any public philosophers who aren’t fighting one evil while appeasing another one?’ Even with the abolition of slavery, the racial discrimination continued through state power.
"I understand that philosophy is more for the future than the present. I'm just curious how a philosophical movement survives the test of time when it relies on people in order for it to get to the future. We only see the successful religions for example, but we don't see all the religions that failed to gain traction, and a part of me wonders if there is more to morality than providing a rational proof, especially since the means of transmission is social.
"I understand you haven't stopped at a rational proof either, and have applied it to many facates such parenting, relationships, psychology and history. I also struggle to consider what could be compromised on here without losing something essential about UPB and NAP which is their universality. But at the same time, I have doubts about the future success of these ideas."
"Am I a bad person if I've lost interest in maintaining a relationship with my best friend after she told me she has feelings for me?"
"What are your thoughts on the biblical story of Job? Many atheists see God being a jerk."
"Stef, in one podcast, you said that entrepreneurship is a young person's game. What would a life path look like for a male entrepreneur?"
"Twitter is ablaze because people are getting people fired who are proving for and calling for the murder of Trump."
"You've helped me understand so many giant topics of importance, economics, morality, history, logic, and so on. It's been absolutely transformational for me as I'm seeing embracing reality is paramount. It sounds silly, but it's almost as if you figured it all out. What are some other yet unknown areas of importance you are researching at the moment, if any? Do you ever feel like you've already come to the truth about everything?"
"What type of shows do you enjoy creating the most?"

"I am in a management position in a retail corporation since 2021. I would never have imagined even getting this far 15 years ago. I was just beginning my journey towards sobriety. (thats also the time i discovered you on YouTube). I have hired many lemons over the last few years. I'm trying to figure out why. I remember people taking a chance when promoting me because they saw potential in me. I feel like I am bad at spotting potential. What did people see in me that I am missing when I hire?"
"My wife and I are having our second baby at the end of October - 4 months away. We had our first child and I was able to be there in person for her throughout the birth, but this second will present a problem in that anyone but the father is allowed on site in the maternity ward. My wife tonight told me that she is very afraid about having the birth on her own as I stay home with our first born. I wonder if I have not been recklessly un-empathetic for her.
My wife has moved countries to marry me and we have both defoo'ed all of my family and friends and as a result, have no support throughout the birthing process and I am going to have to remain at home for the duration.
Where I see this going as the problem - is that I don't have much - if any will to search for friends in the face of what I see out in the world. I'm now also considering that I do not pay enough attention to the people commenting in the chat for an example as possible future friends. What are your thoughts on finding new friends after having had defoo'ed a toxic family and starting from scratch?"

"Hey Stefan I have been married to my wife for over a year and half and we have a 9 Month old child together. My primary issue is near constant fantasies of being with other woman and an overall feeling of being unattached from my wife and child. I mean I love them, I also feel like I could take them or leave them. Just to be clear I have taken zero steps towards any kind of cheating, no dating apps, no sending messages to woman or talking to other woman nothing of the sort. I do watch pornography which I am ashamed of, but I am unable to stop myself at this time. My wife tolerates the pornography use but obviously not thrilled about it. Our marriage has taken some hits this year, car wreck in Jan, I have changed jobs 3 times in the last year and a half. Our son was in the hospital for a week 2 of which was in the ICU. Yes, my wife has threatened to leave me and take my child and apart of me wants to tell her to just go ahead. She feels life with me is too unstable and I understand her reasoning. I am reaching out to open my childhood experiences and see if I can free myself and become the great husband and father I believe I am capable of. Thank you for your time."

Hi Stef, what role should history play in determining philosophical truths or falsehoods? I ask this question knowing your background in history and how you have integrated it into your communication of philosophy, however, the point of conflict for me is this.
When history is used as evidence for a problem existing, the debate is then about causality rather than principles.
Since causality can't be proven with certainty, neither is it encouraged because we have free will, the utility of a philosophical claim rests on whether or not the person is persuaded by the causality you have presented. From a logical and syllogistic point of view, the argument might be valid, but it might not be true without the empirical evidence to back it up since put simply, truth is a status that a claim has relative to its correspondence with the world.
For example, if you were to say child abuse is wrong, and use reason alone to make that argument, someone might not be convinced that how we treat children is even a problem. As such, you’ll then need to use history to support your reasoning. You would examine the French revolution, the childhoods of people in call-ins, look at other literature and research that uses a greater data set of human history to investigate if how we treat children is a problem.
At this point, someone might then be convinced since you have presented them with history, but maybe instead they’ll debate you on the causality of historical events. You won’t be able to convince them through principles, nor history. You could even try delve into their childhood only for them to say that they turned out alright.
At this point, we determine that the person can’t be reasoned with regarding this topic and move on, however, the problem remains regarding the role that history plays in making a philosophical claim that is valid, useful. If people can’t accept a truth statement, it isn’t useful even if it is true. History seems to be indispensable in persuading other people to accept truth statements, however, the battle is then about causality and how it is perceived or interpreted rather than principles.
If the first battle as a philosopher is about making valid truth statements, is the next battle about using history to persuade others of their validity, thereby rendering them ‘useful’? Is the final battle for the human mind about causality now that UPB is in the picture?

"How can I get in contact with my daughters again?
"I'm a divorced father who has not had contact with my two daughters for more than 4 years. I last saw them in early January 2020. The last time I saw them was a day or two after our family Christmas get together, where we had an argument about food and diet. My eldest daughter (15 at the time) had become vegan a short time before the Christmas get together, and neither her, or her mother told me about this, and so we catered for a vegetarian, and the argument occurred because she was complaining there wasn't any food for her (the day after the event) and that was the first time I found out she had turned vegan. She could of mentioned this on the day of the event, as my sister-in law and mother picked up the food after everyone was there. After the argument, my eldest found my smoking herbs (damiana) and accused my of taking drugs and asked to be dropped back at her Mum's place. The last time I have seen or heard or them.
The separation of her mother and I happened back in 2017. Whilst tutoring in my office in the evening, I came out at the end to find the house empty of people. I thought they had gone to the shops but started thinking something was not right after a few hours, and the mother would answer any of my messages or calls. There was no note. 3 days later she came back with the kids and a police escort to collect some of hers and their stuff.
She had put me on a VRO, and it included the children (10 and 12) so contact with the kids became impossible and difficult, but managed to find ways for it to happen even though I was constantly thwarted by the mother.
There is way more to this story, but I am requesting a call in because I have tried reaching out, apologising, getting angry etc and nothing has worked, and now seeking guidance on what I should do next.
Can you help Stefan?"

"Moral frameworks are intrinsically social because they rely on social acceptance and enforcement. When a new moral framework is conceived, it has to overthrow an existing moral framework, and if the adherents of the old framework aren't happy to be labelled as evil or lacking morally, they will fight the new framework tooth and nail. Does this mean that introducing a new moral framework requires a compromise on some issues in order for it to even have the chance of being widely adopted?
"This is like a presidential candidate compromising some of his stances on particular issues in order to be more acceptable to the public. Or as you’ve once said, ‘Are there any public philosophers who aren’t fighting one evil while appeasing another one?’ Even with the abolition of slavery, the racial discrimination continued through state power.
"I understand that philosophy is more for the future than the present. I'm just curious how a philosophical movement survives the test of time when it relies on people in order for it to get to the future. We only see the successful religions for example, but we don't see all the religions that failed to gain traction, and a part of me wonders if there is more to morality than providing a rational proof, especially since the means of transmission is social.
"I understand you haven't stopped at a rational proof either, and have applied it to many facates such parenting, relationships, psychology and history. I also struggle to consider what could be compromised on here without losing something essential about UPB and NAP which is their universality. But at the same time, I have doubts about the future success of these ideas when faced with the seeming momentum of social norms and institutional forces.
"Is no compromise the answer? Or is my ambivalence warranted?"

Where is the best place to send our review(s) of the peaceful parenting book, you asked for feedback, but I'm not sure the best place to submit it.
I'm only a few chapters in, I like the content but my first impression is wow, 450 pages? I think it's too long for general consumption, if you want many people to finish this book, I suggest cutting it in half, or smaller...
You are great with analogies, but I think there are too many, at least in the first few chapters. The purples analogy isn't great to me, I don't think it's captivating to the audience. Keep up the analogies where they are strong, but cut ones that aren't captivating.
Thanks for your work.
- I think the purples analogy is really useful, especially for any normies that decide to pick up the book.
I'm curious what "peaceful-leaning" parenting methods you might have investigated/reviewed when working on your book or forming your parenting philosophy. E.g., "Parenting with Love and Logic", "Grace Based Parenting", "Trust-Based Relational Intervention" ( https://child.tcu.edu/about-us/tbri) (this one is more focused on helping kids from traumatic backgrounds, but has lots of broadly-applicable teachings), etc. Thanks for your work on this!

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux reads a listener's question and breaks it down:
"It’s Father’s Day. Does a sperm and money donor count?
"I once had a wife and two daughters. My younger daughter died of cancer at fourteen. During her illness, the three girls (mother and daughters) ran away. I had no clue they would do such a thing other than that I knew they were hostile to me, or, more accurately, their mother was determined to get rid of me and have total control over "her" ill daughter, who she was convinced she could save. She alienated her daughters from their father (me) by crying to them and pretending all was okay to me, other than the real problem of a dying child, her favorite. My reality and existence were abuse to them! The trist was between my ex-wife and younger daughter, since her birth. I was an outsider.
"I was served divorce papers a week after our daughter died, with false accusations of sexual abuse (never, and never violent). The house was sold, the assets split, and most of my remaining assets were transferred by force of law for my fifteen-year-old daughter's education and life. I never saw her again because the feminized “family” court allowed her to choose not to see her father, the cause of her poor crying mother's unhappiness. The court denied my rights. I paid for her life and university education but never saw her, her mother, or money again. My mother, sister, and friends were shut off from contact or communication. I could do nothing to protect my daughter. Any attempt to contact would have instigated police action.
"After ten years, when my mother was dying, I left a phone message for my daughter about the situation. I lived fifty miles away. Soon, the police turned up to serve a restraining order and “remove my guns and ammo” (I had none). I fought the restraining order in court, so one was never issued (amazing), but that was the end of my longing for fatherhood.
"I wonder if my ex-wife ever feels any remorse for her lies, deceit, betrayal, and emotional violence against me (and her daughters). I suspect she feels sanctimoniously virtuous and justified that she is a "good mother protecting her daughter”… on anti-depressants! Are there ever any consequences for mothers who alienate their children from their fathers? I don’t know of any adult that would dare to confront her.

What sparked the idea behind your recent poll and proposal video to reconsider paid private calls?
What are your thoughts on the result of the poll and subsequent comments?
Stef I am currently seeing a woman, I would not say she is my girlfriend I just have chatted with her a few times and she gave me her phone number. Anyway I saw her Instagram page by random accident, maybe not completely random as the algorithm probably recognised that my phone number is on her contacts list. Anyway, I saw her Instagram page and I decided to take a look, it has several pro Aboriginal posts. This woman does not know the truth about indigenous Australian history and if she did would she still put these posts praising Aborginal culture on her Instagram? My question is Stef how do I break the news that Indigenous Australian ‘history’ as presented in Australian schools, universities and the Australian media is a lie. I want to show her your presentation on Indigenous Australia History. As Schopenhauer wrote ‘making women angry is not a good idea if you want to reproduce’. Dating today is hard and younger generations are having less sex than ever but on the other hand a commitment to truth telling is one of the most important virtues. How do I go about telling her this truth or should I just accept the fact that she is female and she can continue living on with this delusion as most females don’t have to deal with objective reality to survive. I too was constantly presented with the false history of indigenous Australian History and Culture during school and college but I accepted the reality of the true history when I saw your presentation. As she is female I don’t see any likely outcome other than her becoming hostile to the truth and resultantly seeing me as an enemy. Stef as you have stated women don’t like to hear the truth and women are particularly susceptible to government propaganda, which leaves me in a tough situation because if this is really how women in general think then how can I balance the line between exposing her to the truth about her leftist delusions whilst also doing it in a way where she doesn’t get mad and leave me? Unfortunately Stef this leftist type of ‘virtue’ signalling is on virtually every woman’s social media so I don’t think I have the luxury of just leaving and miraculously finding the super rare women who isn’t into this woke nonsense. To clarify this woman is not Aboriginal, she claims to be from some Aboriginal tribe but she is as pale as a British woman, it’s possible she may identify as an Aboriginal in the same way Elizabeth Warren identifies as Native American. She may believe being aboriginal gives her special status or she may have 1-2% indigenous blood and identify as indigenous despite the vast majority off her blood being European. White looking Australians identifying as Aboriginal is quite common over here. This may complicate things further if I decide to break the news to her & show her your presentation about ‘The Truth about Indigenous History’. To give you more information this woman was actually a good conversationalist on the few times I chatted with her and did not treat me in the vapid narcisstic manner many women display towards men these days. So I think there is enough good qualities present in this woman that all is needed is the right approach to educate her about the truth of Aboriginal Australian Culture & History. Stef have you ever educated a woman to make the truth more accessible to her in a less confrontational manner and how do you recommend I go about doing it? Would it be deceptive of me to ignore these differences until a later date in a relationship. To clarify she is 26 so not super late stages in the egg count, but yeah I shouldn’t be wasting more than 1 year of this woman’s life before bringing this up. What do you think would be the best way to tell a woman that her woke programming is all a big lie and that she should stop identifying as Aboriginal as she is almost certainly at least 95% British. Why would she ignore at least 95% of her ancestry to identify with this culture, why would she do it, why do so many women seek some sort of special status by claiming to be Aboriginal or Native American when they are not or it is only a tiny fragment of their ancestry at most?
You've constantly asked for feedback on your books, and I think I have something valuable to mention regarding your fictional work. I've noticed this right from the start but it took me years to get my head around it and come up with something that hopefully makes sense.
Your dumb, low-IQ, or shallow characters do not feel genuine. The example that I have in mind is the guy in the Just Poor novel who gets his head smacked by his partner when trying to sell the stuff they produced at their "co-op" farm. His actions and overall behavior are in line with how a real-life dumb person might behave, but his inner dialogue and the way he expresses his ideas often seem way more complex than they should be.
I was born and live in a country in Eastern Europe with an average IQ of 86 and I've met a large number of low-IQ people throughout my lifetime. They have significant difficulties in articulating their ideas and they have a limited vocabulary so the way they speak is inferior to how the Just Poor guy I mentioned speaks and thinks.
This next example hopefully clarifies my case even further. I got a similar sense with Arlo in The Present. He acted and behaved just like a shallow, self-absorbed individual but his inner dialogue and some of his speeches showed a lot of depth and meaning.
I initially thought that it might be difficult for a brilliant, high-IQ, and profound writer to create characters that are somehow the opposite of himself. On the other hand, you do seem very able to create evil characters.
Another explanation is that it is easy for you to create smart, passionate, productive, funny, engaging, gross, evil, and violent people in your stories because you've had close contact with such traits throughout your lifetime, but you've had very limited contact with dumb or shallow people. What do you think? Am I misinterpreting your characters or are there any challenges when writing the type of people I mentioned?
HI Stef. Have you ever made a list of must read books? like maybe your top 10, or even 100? Thank you.
hi Stef! I am about 5 months into a serious relationship with a woman who I'd one day like to marry. I often have, or at least try to have, very in-depth conversations with her about our past, about emotions, etc, but I notice she gets sort of vague and foggy and I feel she isnt truly opening up with me.
When I press her on this, I get responses such as she is afraid of being vulnerable, afraid of rejection, afraid of change, stuff like this. I feel like when I try to dig deeper, I inevitably hit a wall. And while I do my best to be totally open and honest with her, I struggle with getting her to be as open and honest with me.
What can a man do in a situation like this in order to convince a girl to open up about herself more? Is it a matter of patience, or should I keep pressing it?
Some background that could help: She was raised in what appears to be a nice family with 6 siblings. She's kind and considerate with others. But she seems to have an aversion to being up-front and moving forward in life, and she's always been somewhat socially recluse; she doesnt have many friends, and isnt very close to anyone outside of her family.
I would greatly appreciate your help on this. Thank you, Stef!

"hi again, I have a fun question, that is tongue and cheek. In your book the Art of The Argument, on page 108, last paragraph it talks about activity in the female brain, that generally differs from the male brain. Specifically the Dorso-medial prefontal cortex and the right amygdala. I'm summarizing that men tend to be more analytical in thinking, and women are more emotional. If we are wired differently, and of course there are always exceptions, should we as a society go back to more traditional roles in society, like more men in politics, arena's of science etc, and women being teachers and more nurturing professions since we are literally wired differently?"
"Many young people at my work have no interest in having children, even though they are completely capable of doing so. Even people in their late 20's and early 30's say they don't want kids. All the reasons are for selfish reasons, such as children are too expensive or they just want to "enjoy life", or that waking up all night is too much stress for them to take care of an infant. Is not having children on purpose even if completely capable of doing so immoral?"

I'm a gentleman in my early thirties and I've really struggled to find someone that is family oriented and someone that I think I could connect with.

In a recent discussion, I debated the concept of peaceful parenting with Bob, who argued that children inherently have lower moral standing than adults. I countered by emphasizing the increased moral responsibility towards children, highlighting that they deserve higher moral considerations. We delved into the topic of consequences for parental actions like spanking, advocating for interventions that prioritize education and anger management over punitive measures. Acknowledging the power imbalance between parents and children, I stressed the need for tailored approaches that prioritize the child's protection and well-being. The discourse illuminated the complexities of balancing discipline with the child's welfare and underscored the importance of proactive interventions to uphold the best interests of the child in challenging situations.

Hi Stef, I just want to say, despite listening to you for close to a decade now, I have only recently started to feel comfortable with the idea that other people’s negative emotions do not necessarily (and in most cases) have nothing to do with me or my actions, including my parents! Logically I have known this for a while thanks to you, but it only recently feels like I am beginning to feel it and believe it. I actually found humor (after initially feeling some guilt) about a random angry person I came across this morning. Well I think the humor came from my own realization of the absurdity of feeling guilt or anger because of someone else’s actions or emotional state, who doesn’t know me and has nothing to do with me. My parents sort of fit this category actually.
For my question - When you encounter scenarios like this,I.e. random angry person, someone calls you rude over a simple misunderstanding, how is that jolt of guilt or pain or shame halted or ‘sandboxed’ so it can be evaluated? (or is there not even this ‘jolt’?) I think there is something fundamental I am missing about this. Thanks a bunch, Stef!
What are the steps I could do to become more self expressed as opposed to self erased , I've defooed already .
A bit like the "30 year old virgin " caller , I spend a lot of my time in my head carefully weighing things up , a mixture of self censorship and appeasement .
Note that : When I defooed , at the time it was more of a knee jerk reaction as opposed to anything based on reason and evidence and proper philosophical principles and virtues , later on as I listened to you (big thank you ) I had more language to describe what I instinctively experienced with the Foo.
I think the real question is : how do I move from a mode of bomb disarming / hyper vigilance to a mode of cool relaxed /creative expression?
Hey Stefan! I've got a small group of local moms unfamiliar with your work but who are earnest about improving their parenting and being the best moms they can be. I mentioned your Peaceful Parenting book, and they're definitely interested. Could I share it with them in order to start a PP book club? I would, of course, encourage them to donate if they find your work valuable.
Thank you for clarity regarding the components to a proper apology~
Since starting your journey of RTR & self-knowledge, would you say you have fewer occurances where you need to apologize, more occurrences, or about the same? 🧮🤔
Does decreasing frequency of occurances where we need to apologize (not for the same transgression -- concerning genuine apologies) help indicate progress in self-knowledge, or indicate we may be flying close to the sun of vanity? 🪽🌞
Hi Stef, how do you identify the line between what would be considered ‘Banter’ or jokes and when it could be considered closer to verbal abuse or designed to cause hurt.
I find lad culture nauseating but I do have some exposure to it in a golf group I am part of. A recent comment from a friend from that group really struck a nerve . I don’t want to be over sensitive but the comment whilst a joke had an undertone that seemed aimed to do just that.
I know this is also important to know when you make a joke yourself and don’t want to hurt other people .
Thanks in advance for any information.
Stef, I’d like to hear your thoughts on the intellectual discipline it takes to maintain healthy skepticism without devolving into unhealthy pessimism.
I’m sure you’ve touched on this before, but I’ve only recently “discovered” you and while I’m going through your older stuff, I skew towards listening to your most recent content
Context: I had my kids late (first one at 40-I’m mid 50s now) and while I want them to have healthy skepticism, I don’t want to embitter them with the worldview my difficult life has led me to.
In short, I want them to be skeptical but still have the capability to experience “Joie de vivre” without making them misanthropes
I’m sure I could had worded this better, but I hope you get what I’m driving at even if I haven’t captured it with sufficient language
I love my kids. I want them to avoid bad people and decisions but still retain the capacity to enjoy the company of good people and consider their futures optimistically
Best regards and keep up the good work!

Stefan Molyneux joins Ryan McCormick in a deep dive on peaceful parenting, exploring the power dynamics and moral philosophy often overlooked in parent-child relationships. Discussing the shift from physical to verbal abuse, they touch on societal impacts and insufficiencies in positive role models. Stefan challenges beliefs on discipline and addresses the importance of self-reflection for parents to nurture empathy in children. The conversation outlines the pillars of peaceful parenting and emphasizes the transmission of ethical values amidst societal influences. Stefan advocates for peaceful parenting as a solution to societal dysfunctions, critiquing reliance on violence in child-rearing, and underscores the need for secular ethics to uphold universal moral standards. Calling for a shift towards peaceful parenting for societal transformation, Stefan highlights its potential to cultivate harmonious communities grounded in peace and voluntary interactions.

"My lack of integrity has left me feeling as though I am an empty vessel. I have a strong aversion to sharing my honest thoughts with both family and friends. Whether these thoughts are benign or whether they are 'harsh truths', I feel anxious in admitting to either.
"I am reluctant to express discontent with the members of my family. In the past I have gone so far as to admit to my mother that I feel no love for her, and yet even today I still express my love to her through what I feel are merely platitudes. Specifically in this case, it feels as though expressing the truth of my feelings toward her has had no bearing on how our relationship has changed over time.
"I have drifted from your show in the past when I felt as though I was finding success in relationships or was developing a more honest sense of self. However, in the wake of the premature ending of a recent relationship, it's becoming more difficult to avoid confronting my patterns of behavior.
"I do struggle with vanity, which has been reinforced by an unearned sense of pride. I procrastinate exploring the opportunities that I want to explore. I believe this to be the case for two reasons: 1. From what I have experienced through trying new things, it is humbling to learn that true value comes from investment and hard work, and 2. Regardless of whatever I am pursuing, I cannot escape myself.
"The humility required to be authentic is very intimidating to me. Even now, I am craving easy answers as to how I can begin resolving my issues.
"I would very much appreciate your help in providing me with the tools necessary to take measured, achievable steps in identifying the roots of my vanity, pride, and the anxieties that scare me away from confronting them.
"I would like to provide some biographical information below:
"I am a man in my late twenties. My only sexual experience has come from a one night stand.
"I do have a small group of friends, but only feel comfortable having significant conversations with one of them.
"I am a child of divorce, and I have several siblings. Some of my siblings come from my birth mother and father, and the others come from my father's second marriage. My father is now in the process of divorcing his second wife.
"My childhood was spent in bouts of both repressed and overt anger. When I did act out, either by throwing a tantrum or destroying my own property or the property of others, steps were never taken afterwards to address the roots of my anger.
"I have seen two different talk therapists off and on over the past few years and have felt as though I have yet to get much use out of the sessions.
"I am writing to you because in the wake of my most recent relationship, I am only now recognizing how dangerously dishonest it is to not listen to my conscience and express myself in accordance with it. Furthermore, I have caught a glimpse of how continuing this behavior while in a relationship with another person is going to undermine any capacity to ever build trust.
"I am now in the process of converting to Catholicism after spending some time searching for a religious community. I grew up Protestant, but Catholic Mass is a form of worship with which I feel as though I have a legitimate connection. My goal with following a religion and participating in a community is to look beyond myself and consider the needs of others. I would like to begin the process of looking beyond myself, where I do feel the roots of my problems lie. As a person with little integrity, I have yet to fully appreciate the irony that I am joining a religion wherein one of its Sacraments is Reconciliation through the act of Confession. I admittedly recognize that the pattern of ignoring my own issues while wrapping myself in the flag of 'helping others' is present here as well.
"I want to stop using people while claiming ignorance of the consequences of my behavior in light of my 'best intentions'. Please help provide me with the tools to stop lying to myself and those in my life."

"Hello, all. I'd like to get a discussion going regarding that parallels the release of the PP book. I have been itching with anticipation for its completion since there was first talk of it years ago. I am overly thrilled that it is finally here! I've been raving about it to all of my mama friends. I am a donor and therefore have had access to the book since Stefan started sharing it last October. Yet, I started listening to it and stopped somewhere around chapter four. I wasn't angry or overwhelmed with grief or otherwise emotionally incapacitated. I stopped, thinking it was so juicy, so good, that I needed to take my time and savor it. I didn't want to rush my consumption in greed letting the information spill over, lost, deep within my memory. This seems reasonable in my mind. I wanted to slow down and absorb the book instead of letting it pass through me like an entertaining novel. But I STOPPED at chapter four - just stopped -without realizing I'd done it until today, months after. So, when it dawned on me, I realized that I have a history of doing this, going back decades. I get very excited about a particular book. I elevate it to the highest value, begin reading it, and inexplicably stop, leaving it unfinished with every intention of finishing it later. I have read dozens, maybe hundreds, of inconsequential books cover to cover, but there are four that were "so important" that I never finished them. I want to get to the bottom of it. Does anyone share this enigmatic habit? I'd appreciate any feedback you guys can provide. Maybe someone has already walked this path and has some insight. Please and thank you."
"Hi Stef, my 2 sons came home highly disturbed yesterday. They go to the local park everyday which contains a pond and a river in which they enjoy meeting with their friends, fishing, catching turtles and frogs, and playing sports etc. one of the kids within my son’s friend group was using a live frog as a writing utensil. Using it to draw on a wall. As well as throwing it against the concrete, kicking it etc. He was horrified at the extreme level of abuse and when he questioned this kid his response was who cares it’s just a frog. I suggested to him to stay away from him as he seems to be highly troubled. But my son didn’t know how to handle it as this kid also falls within “the group” and staying away from him would also mean isolating himself from the rest of the kids. Any suggestions as to how to how to handle the social dynamics of this situation?"
"Stef the following question is more about me providing you feedback to a question you asked in your response to my question about how an elephant man would find a virtuous wife. You asked why I was asking the question if I wasn’t an elephant man and such circumstances didn’t apply to me or anyone I know of personally. I think I can understand why you would ask me that question Stef when your philosophy generally deals with less abstract or hypothetical issues, indeed you have arguably taken on a role as a therapist to many people who ask you questions which I give you tremendous praise for addressing. Whilst elephant men are certainly extremely rare, my question wasn’t necessarily abstract, the elephant man was just the extreme end of the spectrum to illustrate a point. You can gradually dial the curtains back a bit and reveal many men who may not be elephant men but certainly are below average looking in looks and socio-economic status, you are aware I think Stef there is some sort of crisis going on whatever the cause, where young generations are having less relationships than ever. That said I think you largely answered my question Stef in that you said it is not a violation of UPB to date someone who is low value such as a prostitute if the prostitute is the best a man can get and sadly for the elephant man and even many other people who are not elephant men, a prostitute who is rejected by all the high value successful men may be the only option available to many of these men."
"Hi Stef, I recall you talking in the past about people getting emotionally ‘stuck’ in a certain age. I am currently 28 but for most of my life have felt like a 12 year old boy. I had an unpublished conversation with you 9 months ago, and almost immediately moved out of my parents house, and have since bought my own car and gained a lot of relationship/sexual experience where I previously had none (none!!). Thank you by the way, you helped me realize I needed to start panicking and actually DOING SOMETHING. Point being is that I feel as though I’ve mentally aged a good bit, and now feel like a rebellious teenager, although still not enough of a true rebel to confront my parents, although we don’t speak. Still have not started therapy or journaling. I’ve realized this sounds more like a question I should be able to ask my father, 10 years ago. I guess my question is, is this normal? And what you’re referring to with ‘mental age’? What would be the next steps to keep ‘aging’? I guess journaling and therapy. This also got me thinking about rites of passage which used to be commonplace in society but are now totally absent or delayed. I normally don’t ask questions but this has been on my mind lately, hopefully something interesting you can extract. - saying that makes me think my feelings are false in some way and I still feel like that scared 12 year old. My parents never changed how they talked to me from that age on essentially, never talked about sex never talked about anything of substance ever. That comment about rites of passage looks so out of place. I wonder why I said that."
"Hello Stefan. Im writing a short novel in where a young up an coming politician gets a real devils bargain. My idea with the story is that I want him, the politician, to face evil. Im thinking something like three envoys which represents different facets or aspects of the darkness in man. Do you have any suggestions or ideas of what these different facets could be? Little short this month but promise to donate at this months end. Thank you for everything."
"Please explain how you define “philosophy” and “philosophical conversation”? . I’m new here —but much of the conversation especially with others seems psychological/historical. Unless I misunderstood."

Let's say a couple were to enter into some contract with a woman to maybe use the male sperm and the woman's eggs in order to get a baby, and the baby then, in a sense, would be contracted, maybe money would exchange.
Therefore, the baby is bought and paid for, and is this UPB? In other words, can a couple pay another woman to conceive and carry a child, and then the custody of the child would be transferred to the new couple, and is this UPB? Now, of course, there's no force that is being deployed in the contract, right? So everybody is voluntarily putting themselves in the contract. And the argument is, and I understand the perspective, and I obviously really respect the question, but the baby is not consenting. The baby is not consenting to the contract. Now, of course, I've made this case before, but it's been a long time ago. Is a contract valid if you can't consent at the time, but you do consent later?

"good day Stefan, I'd like a clarification on your definition of 'love'. As I understand it Love: is our involuntary response to virtue. How does that correlate to pets, very young relatives, and other relationships where virtue isn't the primary source. Is love only possible in intimate relationships? What do you call emotional distress when a death of a beloved pet dies? Obviously I'm not equating pets with people, but our emotions seem to treat them similarly. Not sure if there is an evolutionary or philosophical explanation that you can give but it seems to me that Love: is simply an evolutionary response to attachment based on resource gathering to include family structure. Again huge respect to your work, I'm just hoping to get more clarification on your thought process."

In this lecture, I discuss how ideologies like feminism and communism influence personal responsibility. I challenge the idea that ideologies keep individuals in a state of perpetual childhood by shifting accountability to external factors. By exploring feminism's portrayal of women as victims of patriarchy and communism's view of identity based on socioeconomic status, I emphasize the importance of taking ownership of one's choices and avoiding a mindset of eternal adolescence. This talk prompts reflection on the societal implications of ideologies that diminish self-responsibility and promote victimhood, ultimately advocating for self-awareness and empowerment in navigating life's complexities.

"the dichotomy between atheism and religiosity doesn't always align neatly with a scientific versus non-scientific worldview. People and cultures can reject theistic explanations for a variety of reasons, not all of which are grounded in scientific reasoning."
"'The percentage of atheists that are not statists are so small you can just ignore it completely.' If this was a valid argument you'll have problem with anything. Close to 98% of book-readers are statists. Close to 98% of gym members believe that taxes is price we pay for living in the society. The percentage of libertarians who are not in it for the drugs more money are so small you can just use the term 'libertarian' and 'hippie' interchangeably.

"What are your thoughts on the morality of gambling and making money from gamblers? It doesnt seem to violate UPB or the non-aggression principle, but to me its always seemed scummy and manipulative. Instead of providing any value these businesses make money off of dumb people's inability to discern probabilities."

Hey Stefan, I’ve listened to your show on and off for about 6 years. I’ve implemented many things you’ve taught about parenting and philosophy into my life. I currently have a 10 month old son and lovely wife who I connected with using tactics you taught me and we even listened to your show together when we first started dating.
Now for the bad stuff, I have found myself in a perpetual cycle of disconnection towards most of society. I definitely have a hard time hoping for any kind of good future. I have certain addictions that I struggle with that I’m not proud of. I have a brother who used to be my best friend and business partner who now won’t talk to me at all and hasn’t even met his nephew (my baby). My career and business plans have all grinded to a halt due to external conditions that I can’t control.
I really struggle with how I view life and what I enjoy. To put it simply and directly, I feel I’m still very immature and I feel completely unmotivated to try hard in life despite the fact I have a a beautiful sweet son.
I have deep seemingly unresolvable issues with family members that I think eat away at my joy and I can’t help but feel I’m watching our government system rob and abuse hardworking people to such a degree it feels like it almost pays not to work. It hurts because I struggle with addiction and deep cynicism towards normal life and I feel that makes me a time bomb of a problem for my son and his development. I don’t know what I’m going to tell him or what I’m guiding him to.
I feel just as selfish and dopamine driven as when I was 17 while I feel the world is worse then ever.
I know part of this weird feeling comes from some existential issues I’ve had from LSD use in my younger years paired with being raised in a heavy Christian cult where everyone spoke in tongues.
I feel like everyone around me has some kind of psychosis and it makes me feel very lonely.
I keep wishing I could have some kind of resolution with my family but I don’t see how.
If I had to pick one issue I could really use your help with in the midst of that pile of complaints, I would say drug addiction. Why am I the way I am? Why is it I feel like I’ve lost resolve.

Hey Stef, was is the philosophy/origin of penny-pinching? I've been trying to get over it and know it must be in part from my scarcity-mindset immigrant parents, but even though I still save plenty, I'll do things like stay hungry and keep looking if a restaurant menu charges me just 50 cents more than I think their food is worth...
Did you grow up poor?
I feel like you have special sharpness of thought in your recent shows. Is it because of topics or the fact that you're currently writing a book?
Stef can you please share some of the insights of that conversation you had about money with your daughter?
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE AT THE MALL ON WEEKDAYS?
This is something I don’t understand . If you keep talking about Taylor Swift , you’re only giving her more free attention which makes her more money which only makes the issues larger for women …?
Same if you make fun of woman's weight on social media. Women will flock to her rescue by saying the most horrible insults against your appearance they can think of.
A heartbreaking tale of redemption and possibility...

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes you on a wild ride through the most essential truths that set you free!
Good evening, hope it is ok that I post this now, since I won't make it to the actual Livestream. You recently talked about self destructive thoughts. Mine would be that nobody would ever care what I have to say anyway so I never do anything. I know this comes from neglect but how what would be your suggestion to deal with it? I can't talk to my parents since they disowned and slandered me after I confronted them. If this topic is "finished" for you, so to say, just ignore the question. Thank you.
Many of our problems and issues arise from a kind of nit-picking tendency towards coming up with explanations for why our problems are insurmountable. Having been a drug addict, and therefore having known dozens of addicts, I can sniff out bullshit excuses before they are even spoken. A difficult part of me taking my life back was striking a delicate balance between being forgiving of myself while also demanding progress from myself. What are you thoughts on this?

I'm in an extremely toxic relationship about to have children
I need your help so I do not make the biggest mistake of my life - to have kids with the wrong woman and destroy the lives of the children. We are completely toxic for each other but for some reason, I love her and want to have 6-7 kids together. I need you to please talk me out of it.
We've been dating for almost 7 years and have been talking a lot about having children soon. However this year alone we've "broken up" 15 times. Two months ago she went to kill herself 3 or 4 times, leaving me goodbye letters and then I have to go looking for her to stop her.
Every time it's the same situation she decides to break up with me. She becomes possessed and completely dead with no emotion and treats me like I'm not even human. I fight for her to stay she fights back that she doesn't see a future together. Then I tell her to leave and ignore her a few hours or days later she's the most feminine loving and caring woman ever, telling me she loves me and wants to be with me and begging me to take her back. And as an idiot, I take her back until a week or a few weeks later she breaks up again.
This happened again 10 days ago on a Sunday. She started packing her things and moving to go live with her father a few hours away. I told her to go and the next day I come home she greets me all happy and feminine, jumps on me and tells me she loves me and we decide she will go live with her father for a month so we have some time to figure things out. I send her off to the station and we have breakfast and she tells me she loves me.
Then yesterday morning we were planning a holiday together and she loves me. A few minutes later she tells me she wants to break up to which I say "okay". She proceeds to call me multiple times and send me 30 texts. I ignore it mostly and then at night she messages me, we talk past midnight and we "made up", she tells me how much she loves me and wants to come back as soon as possible. We're happy and in love.
This morning we're happy and she tells me when she's coming back and 5 minutes later she tells me that she's not coming back and wants to break up. I call her, again no emotion in her voice.. no sadness.. I told her this will be the last time she ever hears my voice and i tried to get some closure but it was going nowhere so I told her I'm done and I wish the best for her. She tells me she still loves me and cares about me but doesn't see a future with me. And I hang up.
I'm writing to you because this has happened dozens of times and I know that tonight or tomorrow I will get messages or calls telling me she loves me and wants to come back and how she wants to kill herself. And I know that when she cries and tells me she loves me and wants to come back I will take her back AGAIN.. and then again and again and we will have children and then the same shit will keep going with kids around and the kids will have to be traumatised.
Please Stef, talk me out of taking her back. I desperately need you to give me the strength to end this cursed cycle and not have children with this woman.
Wednesday Night Live 12 July 2023
My parents were neglectful, not physically or verbally abusive in any way. There was just... nothing. My mom left the family and was out of my life from 8-18. My dad remarried and 5 more children. I have a lot of feelings of loss and sadness within that extended family. I'm glad I notice this, but what are some blind spots I should be aware of? Especially in regards to my own parenting?
Any advice for a person who constantly ruminates over a past betrayal/exploitation, with no acknowledgement or apology from the perpetrator.
For those who don't know, I've been working on a truly epic History of Philosophers series - I'm on episode 21, which I've decided to release to everyone.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MY NEXT BOOK!
Have you been bullied for being good?
The most oppressed group...
As a man, do you show weakness?
Hi Stef, you have said that philosophy is about prevention. How does a person who discovered philosophy late in life, and without the knowledge made mistakes. Like divorce and children for one. How does one turn things around?
How does atheism deal with vanity?
MUSIC TALK!

IT IS A GATEWAY TO MENTAL ILLNESS!
Listener objections:
I also think it's perfectly reasonable to not continue paying attention to Stef if this basic query is not responded to. I owe a donation when I'm back in work. But as far as following further I do not see the reason to respect someone that so fragrantly neglects a rational thought process.
I've always thought Stefs arguments in this area are weak. Such as the assumption of atheist as categorically correct when I understand it to be of the same quality as climate change science (the mainstream encourages it so that would be likely right?)
I never wanted to take this up with him because I did not feel like it was an important part of the entire platform. Like, he mostly offers extremely positive powerful information. I do not feel like Stef coming over to thinking astrology is legitimate would improve his platform necessarily.
But I responded to this provocation.
I do not have a platform for my own so there is no opportunity to invite Stef to a formal debate on the subject. Any such thing I would make sure I had all my ducks in a row first. Rechecking and specifically sourcing many points. This may take a few weeks.

Do you struggle with weight?
Why weight matters in a spouse.
I gained 50 pounds with my ex she didn't say a damn thing. Luckily lost it all. I think she wanted me to be unattractive to other women.
Why are people more cruel to family than strangers?
YOU WILL BE JUDGED BY YOUR SPOUSE!
Brains are more important than beauty once you get to middle age. Your hot but dumb gf won’t cut it when you grow up into a success and she doesn’t develop her mind to compensate for the looks going.
My ex wife was pretty and clever when she was young (graduate, lawyer), but she stagnated intellectually because she didn’t need to use her brain much in life. Meanwhile I have had 30 years of professional life to hone my brain. The gap between us intellectually is too big nowadays for us to have much conversation.
Excerpt from my novel 'The Future'
Philosophy question for today or future date... Archetypal philosophers would be Plato and Socrates, but what about modern personalities like Karl Marx. He might be dead wrong on everything, but was he a (bad) philosopher, or do we need to carve out a space for him as a (bad) economist or (bad) theologian?
I've done a lot of therapy, go to dance classes, ask women out at the coffee shop but am still finding it hard to find a girlfriend.
I'm all for taking 150% responsibility for that, I do think I have more work to do therapy-wise, but I'm wondering if I'd find more dating success in another city?
I live in a place with a lot of transplants and wonder if that means there's even more "I don't want to settle down until my 30s" women than usual for millennials.

Stef, I was listening to an older podcast of yours where you were saying that you would cut people out of your life if they supported the state. Would this is also apply to people who think that your going to hell when you die? Or am I thinking about this the wrong way? Thank you so very much for your philosophy and please let me know if this is an innacurate representation of your beliefs.
Hey Stef, I have been advocating for my sister to not circumcise her child that is due next week. I've sent emails with tons of evidence of harm, I've tried talking in person. She and her husband seem to not even care. What do I do? I'd happily do a call-in show, this has been destroying me for months now.
Stefan, you just described a coworkers response to whatever "controversial" stuff I say. Yes. Triggered.
Should you threaten your kids?
Stefan, what you are saying is nearly invaluable to me. I've always felt some things are wrong but could not articulate it, let alone identify what it is. But you are allowing me to "see" the world it is and people for who they are. Thank you. I feel like I am in high-orbit now, while most everyone else is playing with rocks on the side of highway of life.
No one I know of on the web or anywhere else, breaks down and distills arguments like you Stef. Thank you brother.
Question, if a mother of an only child calls others their sons or daughters regularly is she openly saying she does not like her only child or that the only child is replaceable? Also the mother would openly talk about how this other will be the one to buy them a house or car in front of her only child. What effects could this have on the only child?
Stef could you do a ‘Jerry Maguire’ movie review with Izzy?
If the child does not stick to the agreement to leave in 10 minutes is it okay so say that you're leaving without them?
Stef I got a woman’s phone number last Saturday night, the next afternoon I tried calling and then I texted her ‘You doing anything tomorrow’. She replied after 6 hours quote: ‘Hey sorry I missed ur call! I got really busy today! I’ll let you know if I get some free time 😊’. Stef where do I currently stand with this woman. To provide background context this woman is a stripper who who wanted to French kiss me because quote ‘she only kisses guys she likes’, I did French kiss her & I enjoyed it.
Hey Stef, whenever I talk about peaceful parenting with people who have children, they always respectfully point out that I don't have children (suggesting that I don't have authority in this manner). Can you give me an argument for this situation?

You literally will not believe it!
I'm a shrink, and 100x better for listening to you. Long time listener and donator. 1: how can one dare to love, and be loved, after a terrible childhood and a severely abusive relationship?. Patient of mine is struggling with this. Receiving any kindness or love triggers anxiety. Would love to hear your thoughts.
how did you find philosophy at the tender age of 15? I was first presented to philosophy at uni. It seemed pointless and boring. Later, I studied history of philosophy, and loved it. Then I found freedomain radio in 2015.. my childhood was.. fucked up. Can't begin to explain how much you've helped. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Thank you for your last piece on propaganda vs free will. I have been wondering for a while how to talk to a pal of mine who insists on dating woman after woman based solely on looks.
I was also introduced to philosophy in highs school. I also found it boring and irrelevant, that's because it was presented that way. Stef showed me how it can be relevant to my life and therefore interesting.
Hey Stef, creativity caller from the other day. Drove to an open mic last night. The hosts cancelled for some reason, but I got on stage at an improv show also at that venue. Not deterred! Gonna find a mic soon. Thanks again.
Philosophy is the ultimate real danger. Everything else is a paper cut. You didn't make it dangerous, just refuse to make it something it isn't.
WHY ARE THERE BULLIES?
Do you think that men, fathers in general should consider a different path in regards to the traditional provider role?
Hi Stef, how do I date during a career switch. It might take years before success so how do I reconcile my uncertain future w starting a family. I may be confident in my ability to provide value,, but the girls I date might not fully get the potential. I could spend money to show my confidence but then, again, it might take years before I can really provide financially. Is it better to just go hardcore and not start a family for a few years more? I am 27.
Do you have any advice for someone who’s working on integrating his shadow self? I realize now that I had to take on different personas to survive as a child in narcissistic family structure. Negative emotions were met with some kind of punishment. Outside home, people would have conflicting images of me – I was something for everyone. A lot of acting out or fawning.
Stef, you have said that having a lot of sexual partners destroys a womans ability to bond. This makes sense when she forms a bond and then it gets broken (especially if the guy lies about loving her).
But do you think casual sex is bad for a woman even when it's perfectly clear to her that it won't lead to a relationship?
For example when she goes out to have a one night stand with someone but she does not intend to stay in contact with the guy.
I was on a second date with a girl and on both dates we had very deep conversations. On the end of the second date, she was literally begging me to sleep with her. I didn't want to do it because I thought it would be bad for her. When I told her this, it made her want it even more. In the end I didn't do it but I felt bad for rejecting her. Was this an overreaction from my side?

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux lays out the answer to the question: how much free will do people subjected to mass propaganda have?
https://www.freedomain.com/donate
Question concerning discussion from a prior livestream concerning propaganda. Your description of women being the victim of statist propaganda in regards hyper-materialism, surface aesthetic obsession, misandry, collectivism, etc. was of interest. Your explanation in my humble opinion sounded very much in line with leftist victimology.
Perhaps I missed something. Are individuals to be held responsible and accountable for actions in response to being propagandized? Seems you are most willing to blame vaccine zealots, statists, collectivists, communists, etc. Could they merely be excused for being propagandized? Please clarify.
Listening to your novel 'The Present' I should be caught up to chapter 20. Grim stuff. But great writing.
Hey Stef! I want to thank you for recommending the book, “Parent Effectiveness Training” in a recent live stream. It seems like fantastic resource peaceful parenting. I’m curious to know if you think anything is missing from that book or if you have any other suggestions for further reading. I’m recently married and we intend to start having children in the next year. Much love to you my brother!
Stefan, I have a moral philosophy question for you. Any thoughts on moral asymmetries? For instance, do you believe the presence of virtuous action in a person is relative to the power imbalance between the person doing the act and the one receiving it? For example: if a security guard treats an inmate with virtue, is it of more moral significance than if the inmate treats the security guard with virtue?
Having a lot of fears lately. I know I can’t keep my child in a bubble, but how can I deter him from getting sucked in to the stupidity of todays social media generation, as well as the overexposure to all the darker things on the web. How can we best prepare him?
How is your relationship with other personalities in the world of libertarian philosophy? people like Larken Rose, Michael Malice, Dennis Pratt, Tom Woods, or whoever. Is there someone you particularly like? or someone you don't like at all.
Hypothetical moral conundrums are insanely annoying.
Stef, why not try to come back to twitter at this point, since Elon?
Stef, I can't think of a single thinker who approaches anything close to your level of insight about such a wide variety of topics.
You're as good as the top Austrians on economics, you're better at psychology than most psychologists, you have tech skills, etc.
Humility is the opposite of pride, the modern world is dripping with pride, it's not taught or shown anymore
Look I just wanted to jump back in and say I'm sad you felt like going off on a tirade on me. i was one of your oldest supporters and now I don't feel like supporting you. it's a weird feeling. bye.
I struggle with criticism too. When I was a child, every criticism from my father was always accompanied by either verbal or physical abuse.
Abusive people around your kids?
You should build a dating app for your followers only.

Freedomain Livestream 19 May 2023...
What's your opinion on the whole sigma,alpha,beta personality types?
Hey Stef,
After listening to your most recent call in with the guy who felt guilty for leaving his parents, I've begun thinking about how I too have an attachment issue and have since moved on from applying it to my parents and applying it to a former manager at work.
I had a recently minor negative interaction with them and caused a fair deal of emotional distress.
How do I remove this attachment? Thank you if you read this.
My mom calls you the guy who always complains
Had told father about starting a business and he immediately gave a bunch of reason why it would fail etc.
Bravo Stef, this is some truly life changing material. Thanks man
How do you redeem yourself from not living a life of virtue in the past?
I don't believe for a moment that someone who sabotages has any capacity for happiness. And simply enjoys killing others happiness.
Why is the spanking, being dominated, told what to do kink such a red flag?
What should I do to make long distance relationship work? I decided to start this relationship because of your speech about casting wider net and not complaining that one can’t find valuable person. We are both 50yo. She was in therapy after break up. I had break up after 16 years. No children involved. I had three years of cool down time. I listen to Freedomain since 2015. It has changed me
Please talk more about The False Self. I've been trying to educate people on that. Thank you.
Hey Stef what do you recommend reading first of your novels?
I know some good men who got rekt in divorce court etc. Is that their fault?
Having a bad conscience sounds like Dante's Inferno.
this is a powerful stream whoa
I have been in the habit of rejecting dreams and have felt strongly annoyed when people would ask about them. As a child, my mother would take dreams extremely seriously. She would get each of us kids dream journals and dream analysis books, would ask every morning about what we dreamed about. She is the kind of person who would have a dream that my dad was cheating on her, and then in real life would punish him for it. So as an adult, I outright dismissed dreams, swinging to the other extreme to offset my mom. As I've listened to you over the years, I have taken more interest in what I can learn from them.
Last night I had a dream where my mother was being difficult as I confronted her about something, and then she pushed me down the stairs while I was turned away from her.
I'm not asking for a dream analysis, but how can I learn from my dreams? Do you write your dreams down? And how can I better appreciate them?
The end of your novel The Present was perfect!
Hi Stefan, I am a 29 year old female, and my relationship with my boyfriend of 8 years is falling apart.
For the last two years, we had been fighting quite savagely and despite being engaged together, he told me two weeks ago he isn't sure he wants to have a future with me. This broke my heart into pieces and my mind is a complete wreck. He was willing to go to couples counseling and start working on our issues. But again he told me after the first session with the therapist he isn't sure he wants to be with me in the future.
While I recognize I hadn't been the best partner to him, also I have been working as a stripper during the whole course of our relationship, I still considered him to be my future husband and father of my children. Now this has all fallen apart.
Also I am in a time of my life where I realized I desperately want a chance to have marriage and at least one child, even though I have not been living the most virtuous life up until this point.
I don't know if I should keep fighting tooth and nails to save this relationship and hope that my boyfriend changes his mind or leave and try dating and try to meet a good guy who would marry me. I feel like my chances out there are slim.
For the past few weeks when the fights with my boyfriend had been escalating into this, my body and brain had gone into a full fight or flight mode, I feel like I'm not thinking clearly. I am not able to make a decision because I fear that if we tried again in this relationship and it failed then it would waste my last chance of building a life.
Please help!
Stef what do you think about the recent Bitcoin rally?
Should I try to find married friends if divorced friends and forever bachelors drive single women away?
DO YOU LIKE IT WHEN SOME PEOPLE FAIL?
I warned a guy not to marry someone. He got pissed I wasn’t invited to the wedding. Recently, he reached out to tell me that I was right. They are still married
Your words about 100% responsibility in a relationship and accepting how you have manipulated your partner have been very grounding for me. (I refer to your recent call-in with the 30 year old man).
Stef, the fact that you have a theater background. As well as your storytelling abilities and, of course, intelligence. I believe helped catapult you and your ideas. Would you be open to doing a show on storytelling and public speaking? It will help those of us now and in the future effectively spread philosophy.

Unless child rearing is worse now that is.
I have always thought that WWI set the table for the destruction of the west that we see today. The culture never recovered.
I’m currently starting a business and my wife wants a say in each of the purchases I make. I find that having to justify each investment takes a lot of time and energy, especially since she is quite frugal. How do you and your wife handle your business purchases?
So Stef, there is a saying" they do not care that you know, until they know that you care" When a person uses reason, logic and empiricism, and finds themself trying to relate to people whose feelings are facts, and are not willing to talk through dissenting points of view. What are your options, just cut those people out of your life, or is there another way to relate to these people?
I’ve fallen in love with a Chinese girl, whose father is in the CCP. but we share the same values, I’m English, what thoughts do you have?
Your speech about society investing in the things that they care about really got through to me and I canceled a lot of useless subscriptions and plan to allocate that money your way! Was a long time iTunes podcast listener.
I’m in a position to be a leader and a father so what you’ve given me in have been trajectory changing! Thank you 🙏 will continue to be here forever.
Hi Stef, Would you be ok helping me understand your thoughts between when you say this is a great time to be alive as opposed to what you have said tonight? I am probably lacking some understanding on this. Much appreciated.
When did you do therapy?
I have just finished reading Real-Time Relationships and became one of my favorite books of all time.
What percent of people manifest free will?
How do you do Philosophy? How could I become a better (or become) a Philosopher? It's rough thinking that I haven't thought about that in years now.
Hi Stef, I have a question, I am currently in an engineering grad program that will take the next 2 years to complete after one year invested (I get paid to attend), and have been feeling very demotivated. I haven't been very productive in my coursework and research, and I'm not sure if I should just drop out and get a job or white-knuckle it. Do you have any recommendations or thoughts? Also, I have a wife I married a year ago.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux answers questions from listeners, such as – why do people so often think they are ugly, and what makes a great teacher?
Is it normal for my husband to be adding attractive/provocative women on his social media and liking their posts? I am confused as I check all the boxes of what an attractive moral woman should be. And yet, I find myself questioning "Am I enough?" "Will he leave me?" Is this normal behavior and I am overthinking it. Or does this behavior confirm my fears. He is still looking. We have been trying to start a family, but I am scared/lost on what to do. I am 26 and the clock is ticking!
Are you scared of women?
Why you are trained to hate sales and jocks!
Well, I guess my perfectionsim that I complained about before, has finally paid off - I saved up for a bigger tip instead of tipping you 1 dollar a week.
I wanted to thank you for what you're doing - you've had an enormous positive influence on my life, especially through call-in shows and philosophical approach
to relationships.
P.S.
Forget about what I just said earlier - this tip is actually meant to keep your shirt on!
WHEN SPENDING MONEY MAKES MONEY!
Hey Stef, I know this is a Philosophy show but I love when you talk about making money, and finances. SO much so here's some money.
This conversation is uncomfortable but in a good way.
This is profound. I live my public life like a man who is worth $100k. I could easily life my public life like a man who is worth $500k. I'm just lazy.
Stef, are you able to elaborate what this looks like for women?
Yeah I'm starting to realize the extra money gave me safety but I had a way worse life because I had a shit place and the safety made me lazier.
I still struggle with this cheap mindset as an adult. I was bullied into looking for the cheapest option or discounts as a kid. I hated it. It was exhausting. Now I spend money on quality things and I never want to cheap out again, but I still get that urge from time to time. Usually when buying food. I sometimes buy cheaper, but almost always regret it, because the food is usually terrible.
Thank you for bringing this up! This is a wonderful superlatively valuable.
OK I'LL SPEND SOME MONEY!!! THANK YOU STEF!! ( I did recently upgrade my clothes from band tees not too long ago)
My brother constantly torches my ass over not owning a couch. When the ladies come over they get a first class virtual golfing experience in a creepy open room that looks a lot like a Dexter killing room. This might might not be an optimal breeding strategy.
HOW TO LOOK GOOD!
Stef why do you think spending money helps you make more money? Does it bring out your survival instincts?
Oh god this show is so much knowledge
I grew into money gradually. I was poor and the only things going for me were looks, talents and my class background. It could have seemed risky from woman's perspective to get involved with me as I only had potential for things in my early 20's. My wife (then girlfriend) inspired me to work hard and always stood by my side even when I wanted to give up. If it wasn't for her, I'd be living like a bum still.

What's the end goal of state run education?
Hi Stef, a few months back, I asked a question about feeling a lack of integrity accepting inheritance from my abusive parents, to which you asked something along the lines of 'why not accept what comes rolling down to you?' The other night on a stream, I believe you also stated you refused inheritance from your father. Why did you make this decision?
Hey Stef, your novel The Present was fantastic.
I'm curious why crypto was only mentioned once, is the idea that crypto hasn't been mass adopted yet?
Hey Stef, first off we love you and listen to you daily. Please explain your extulation of marriage and how that is juxtaposed by the state being so involved in personal relationships
Stef I heard Ancient Rome was also sex obsessed, is that a staple of cultures before they fall? Do they get sex obsessed for same reasons?
Why are some woman angry at children?
Dear Stefan, thank you for all you do. Not quite sure if this is a moral question, but would hugely appreciate it if you could provide your thoughts. How does a couple arrive at a win/ win in a situation where one partner wants to remain one child family only and the other one wants more children? It was a hard first couple of years and my husband does not want a repeat of that. I on the other hand see the wonderfulness our child has brought and I want more. Thank you for your input!

What is your opinion about making children share? My daughter is almost 3 and thinks everything belongs to her and wants to snatch others kids toys and also doesn’t want other kids playing with her things. I don’t want my kid being obnoxious but I’m also kinda over hovering over her on play dates to make sure she’s playing correctly.
Hey stef, how do you peacefully parent and avoid using force (taking toys away, for example) with toddlers? Say, at the ages where they’re less likely to apply lessons you attempt to teach them
Seeing all the ufo stuff means there's something they're tryna hide
FEMALE EVIL
Hi Stef, what if we're talking about information based life forms like A.I. Would they need the non aggression principle if they had a hive mind like state of existence and could minimize conflict below the threshold necessary for interstellar travel?
That is why UFOs, flat earth, healing crystals, politics... to avoid assessing mom and dad.

I think about that a lot... I look at less virtuous people than myself and have a negative thought or feeling about their choices.... then a part of me says... "Well at least they have reproduced."
"What good are your values if they die with you."
This has been a great convo so far Stef, It reminds me of my need to live a moral virtuous life, Re-reading Real Time Relationships has moved to the top of my reading list.
UPB
You have previously collaborated a lot with Lauren Southern, now a divorced single mother who says she picked her partner based on values. Do you have any thoughts on that?
Stef, how do you find motivation to write a long novel? I've been daydreaming about writing novels for like a decade now but the sheer time it takes to get to the end of it feels so daunting that it demotivates me. It's like a crazy long marathon and I'm avoiding it because it feels like walking through a desert, even though I really really want to do it.
Do you think society embracing UPB would unleash an age of unprecedented intellectual growth and prosperity?
I finished The Future yesterday, it was amazing Stef! Thank you

Why are so many pretty girls angry/resentful when they are told they are pretty, or when treated as though they are pretty. They go home angry, then the next day put their makeup and costumes on?
As a father of daughter(s), what can a man do to help his girls (who happen to be very pretty) to maintain a balance of enjoying their healthy beauty, but make something of themselves - virtue by merit, not by inheritance?
Why are men so shallow these days? Why can’t we hate the evil/pretty ones?
My highest priority would be to escape that dirty city street of catcalling forever, and into pregnancy and gardening
HOW TO AVOID MISERY!
Stefan, you are describing how make myself miserable, despite the objective reality of my improvements.
MEN ARE SHAMED FOR HAVING PREFERENCES
WOMAN:
In my experience it's very hard to find a solid man who doesn't manipulate, bully and try to control. Where are they? I'm trying to break the cycle for my daughter.
I was raped by my employer and got together with him for protection. He manipulated, lied and I got pregnant.
My father threw me under the bus as a teenager. I wouldn't even think to call the police or go home.
Yes, he raped others I'm sure. It was a summer resort out in the middle of nowhere.
I had to get away from my family.
I think sometimes things are more complicated in life. I did get out of his control because I had protection from my future husband.
Since I started listening to you I have taken complete responsibility and I tell her all of the time. I am devoted to my children.
I've learned about the domino excuse from you. It's painful and I blame my father before turning 18. I think I was pretty messed up by that time bc I went out with a much older man and got pregnant. My parents insisted I have an abortion. I had terrible depression by the time I left home. It's hard to accept responsibility for the train wreck that ensued but you're right, I am responsible.
There was a woman who promised to publish your book. That doesn’t seem like you view yourself in a victim status there though.
I only discovered you after you got cancelled. Yesterday I listened to your speech at the EU you recently posted onLocals. It was great, very powerful! I'm wondering - how did the audience (those EU MPs) take it? Did anyone came up to you afterwards and congratulate you or commented on the content?
FORGIVENESS
Jesus would have forgiven Judas
This is an absolutely riveting discussion. Gripping speech by Stef. (And may I say I will never give COVID amnesty.) Never forget.

Stef, What would be an example of someone who hides their past in order to get a relationship, in this context.
Your shows are really helping me turn my life around, I am starting to make so many good decisions and not engage in any destructive behaviour and I have just started dating a real quality women. Thank you
Here, is a harder question. for the example of body count, is it possible for this kind of reform, and growth possible.
Stef I’m sorry, but you mentioned you hit your mother when you were a young teen. I understand this was in self defense but I believe this is a contradiction of hitting someone
No you said you had not hit someone. You added fist fight after. I just thought it was curious.
I stated I was sorry I understood where you were coming from and it was in self defense, I know why you did it and I had opportunities when I was younger too. But did not.
You had not gone into detail about the hitting in your previous stream. The word just caught my attention as you mentioned you had never hit someone. So I think it’s a choice of words.
My dearest apologies that my messages are coming across as uncompassionate, I do not know how to communicate it over text.
But I started with I’m sorry and you took it the wrong way.
Thank you Stefan, you know how valuable this show is. I'm only just beginning to see how truly valuable it is, especially since I started working out regularly, going to therapy and journaling.
This stream has been great Stef, Thank You. I wish to be more like you, I may start going to therapy twice a week despite how pricy that can be it helps a lot. Once a week doesn't seem like it's enough, like exercising only once a week.
It's interesting how UPB is sort of automatic for kids. As soon as you do something for one the others say, "What about me?"
What do I do about Father’s Day after basically not speaking to him because he is the epitome of a narcissist?
Do you think it’s harder to peacefully parent, multiple children, interactions-Sibling fighting? I know you did very very well with a single child.
I am going to a speed dating event tonight (one of the many things I am currently trying). Any suggestions about topics of conversation? I got a few in mind, but I am really open to suggestions.
Hello Stef, I listened to The Present, excellent book, was a roller-coaster, just started listening to The Future
Stefan, were the participants of The Milgram Experiments evil or stupid? My friend thinks they were just stupid. I argue that the participants, being human, are evil. Lately I've been telling everyone I have no faith in Man and I don't see anything turning around for the better. They think the opposite: "people are waking up & had enough". Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Stef what do you think about possible government disclosure of ET, ufo existence, is it going to have massive implications on religion, education, and philosophy
FRACK BEING FIRST!
Hi Stef, you mentioned that if a woman/wife withholds sex, then a man/husband reserves the right to withhold resources, but is that really feasible? If the pair are under the same roof, if the husband does not pay the bills he is under threat to have the lights turned off, his credit shot, and he could be on the street. He is only hurting himself. What would be wrong if a man who finds himself in that situation simply seek sex outside of his marriage. What are your thoughts on that?
You once said "The mission is to speak the truth as best you can as often as you can." Is that still your mission?
I'm incredibly grateful to have listened to you Stef, your lessons have improved my life significantly. It's been a rocky road for you but you have my deepest thanks
I used Stef's arguments to get a Christian on LinkedIn to quit spanking his son and now we're friends and he's very thankful for my help (all cred to Stef)
you're firstness, and all your great perspectives are so great, BUT, I feel a similar thing. I've talked to so many people about you, paid for their subscriptions, set up a phone call even that you did. I ask them a few months later, and they haven't touched any of your content since. And for no reason really, just "haven't gotten around to it" Drives me mad.

I’m severing ties with a teaching service soon. I did not sign a contract.
Does offering the discount cheapen my services? I have a good retention rate with good feedback form parents. Or just let them know the policy will be the same and to call me to discuss rates?
Hi Stef. What would you say is the motivation behind people who seem to like being miserable and panicky? They constantly see problems with every solution. Some have even expressed fear and worry over the lock-downs ending! I know one woman who spends her entire day sitting in the chair on Instagram and on news services simply finding out about all the bad stuff going on the in the world, and then sharing her anxiety all day long. What is it that make such people tick?
What are some good books on sales? I have a small company where I make websites and can always use more customers
What is your opinion of people who never apologize or take responsivity of people that they have done great harm. Do these people not have a conscience, and should these people be avoided?
Withholding of sex is a kind of reverse aggression
Love the song quizzes btw. I’ve only gotten a handful right but very fun way to start the show
What about when people half ass apologize? They apologize but don’t change their behavior
Did Izzy have a favorite childhood book ? Any recs
You’ve said you think it’s unfair that God chose to show some people miracles but we don’t get that proof
Don’t you think that God makes things not 100% certain so that we keep pursuing them?
We don’t think about gravity everyday because we accept it
If we aren’t certain about how God works we pursue him
Jesus lived the perfect life: his choices, compassion and love for all men; one could argue that in itself is the proof of divinity one can observe to this day.
I worked in a bar that was totally consumed by football. It wasn't a sports bar just a pub that was owned by a man who was obsessed.
If you spend much time listening to these podcasts, Stef has saved you tons of time because he doesn’t have ads
I dare say that I get more self-help from Stefan, than I did with 2+ years with a counselor (cognitive behavioral therapy) at $130 for 50 mins, with 4x visits a month. Thank you Stefan. I love you, homie. 😁 I subscribed for the last 2 years, donate occasionally and tip.
My husband n I were cracking up at your sports ball impression. Can’t wait to rewatch later. 😆😆
Hey Stef what would do if a programmer you interviewed had a job at Onlyfans?
Recently been doing some contracting for some large NHS trusts in London - they reported their largest security concern at the moment is ...staff not being able to read ...
Hey Sportsball guys do a great service to those who want to stay shallow. Money well spent
Thanks Stef... sounds like you are as frustrated with sports obsession as me...I think it's stupid
Livestream 24 May 2023
Hey Stef you’ve said many times during livestreams that living with your parents doesn’t help you save money and that it kills your ambition. I’m 27 never lived on my own. Currently making 25$/h but not nearly enough to have a family by my early 30’s
Hey Stef I just started a ethics course (its a mandatory elective in my program) and the first discussion question we get it the trolly problem. I can tell that this course is just designed to destroy people's ability to comprehend universal and objective negative moral principles.
I understand what you’re saying Stef but the inflation & housing costs in cities now is insane
During my call-in in July you described my story as “one of the worst stories of abuse you have ever heard”. That call changed my life. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You saved my life. I have not seen my family since August and haven’t spoken to them since December. I still receive hateful texts from my mom but am struggling to take the last step to block her number. Why? When do I draw this line?
Dude, I am 45, making 6 figures and struggling to make my way through a population of single moms, raised by single moms, appreciative of single moms, and dating single moms! Trust me, you don't wanna wait to be me. If you got a good girl, quit the whine and start making babies.
Hey, stef i'm an avid reader, but I see that some productivity experts say too much reading can hinder your professional life.
Do you think there can be too much reading ?
(I mean specifically nonfiction)
Thank you for this Stef, I love this conversation/topic. I've got a gym membership not too long ago, I've been in Therapy for a while, I signed up to a local course to up my communication skills, and often try to up my skills. This had added fuel to that fire, I can always do more, I spend too much time playing video games or board games still.
This chat is very eye opening, a lot of things you are saying shows how society in general has us sold all this BS and lies
Stef is a treasure his shows and books will be studies by many for years to come!
How’s the a.i. StefBot coming along?
Fascinatinating show and prospective on donating. I've heard you explain that so many times over the years, everytime I hear it, it makes more sense, and I feel more uplifted.
Worked outdoors during -40°C winter including blizzards. Thundershowers that had me soaked to the skin in seconds. Such was the job.
Modern women’s built-in “cad detectors” clearly aren’t working on the whole. What have they been reprogrammed to function as?
Stef in the last call in show you told the guy to grovel to get the 9.5 woman he dump back. Why do you think male groveling works sometimes. Won't the woman think you are a simp?
Monthly supporter. Don't have funds to donate what I wish I could. And I need to think on where my money should go. Like it does here.
Hey, Stefan! My baby girl was born yesterday. I'm currently in hospital and it's middle of the night and I just tuned in. Besides absolute exhaustion, caring for a newborn really clears your mind of all human drama and bullshit. Kind of therapeutic in a way.
If you guys haven't read The Present I would highly recommend it I wish I had done it sooner. Same with The Future

How do I know when it's time to call it quits in a marriage? I feel like I'm putting a tremendous amount of effort into it and she doesnt want to. What is the ethical line as to whether to stay or not? I would like to fix it, but if she can't let go of the past and reconnect, then what do you do? We made promises, but she is the first to threaten divorce. After days of Silence things cool and talk but it repeats. The kids are sick of it, too. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you Stefan!
Hey Stef curious if you’ve heard of the University Jordan Peterson is starting to bring education costs way down while bringing quality and integrity back to the Institutions of Higher Education.? Was also wondering if you had interest in teaching philosphy in this new University of his… thank you, and thanks again for all you do
How was your mother's day?
To avoid getting sucked into an irrational debate w my dad I hung up the phone. He leaves a voicemail saying if I don’t call back that means I’m in ‘passive agreement.’
Is The Present available to download as an audio file like your other books? I was having trouble finding the link if so.
Im pleasently surprised how much I like the Character Ben in The Present. I love the book so far on Chapter 19.
Thanks for the insights Stef, it is an amazing book. The win-lose mentality ties in very well with Lewis Staten.
It makes sense you’d have to be atheist before determining morality of God since otherwise you wouldn’t go into with a clean slate and instead your preconceived notions would bias your investigation and likely not end up w UPB
I have quite the emotional experience every time I go to Church, Pray or read the Holy Bible. Desipte being an Atheist ( or at least I think I am an Atheist still ).
Reminds me of Aristotle. :)
He called theology the study of beings greater than man.
What if the writers of the Bible knew a lot of what you do, but didn't have the terminology to describe it like we can today, so they had to put it in ancient terms.
Atheism is theological stoicism, it removes emotion and passion which are essential parts of our being.
You could believe in laws of physics but then by definition if God is omnipotent he could suspend the laws temporarily.
I've had a belief for a long time that a lot of religions came out of misinterpreted dreams.
I'm sick of women choosing bad boys over me. Should I become one?
Hey Stef, in regards to cutting ties with abusive parents, how do you deal with the fact that even though they were abusive, it still took an enormous amount of resorces and sacrifice to keep you alive until adulthood. They had to do a lot of things that vere valueable for you and therefore you should give value back. I think it's valid to say that turning your back on them when they get old is not fair. Thank you for your thoughts.
The usage of the word "You" was the mistake I made. I should've written it in first person. It really meant it to be about me, not a criticism of you. I feel shame for cutting off my parents, that's why I asked.
Me again with the parents: I really don't want to be annoying. I did cut off my parents but still have these voices in my head that are saying I did something wrong. I realize it is probably my parents but I need to sort it out. By asking the question, I wanted you help me confront those voices. I did not want to accuse you of being wrong with your situation, the exact opposite: to help me understand why what I did wasn't wrong.
I’ve heard people say that abusers treat animals better than children.Considering some exceptions, is this true?
I think some mothers have unresolved abuse or trauma in their background and cling to their "little man" boy children that they feel safe with, but need the male influence from. It's a totally abusive situation where they smother the boy being male, out of total fear. I call them "smothers".
My parents had low standards and felt that some of my teachers and private tutors where “stuck up” and elitist but I always felt those tutors had high standards. Seems to me like they where low class and didn’t want successful people in my life to influence me
Abusive parents who where unfit to have children seem like kidnappers if they adopt children and then abuse them throughout their chidlhood. They can always try to hold it against the child that they “saved” them but that is not entir true
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you mentioned in a recent livestream about parents who demand compliments and “love” but if that is not given by the child, that they get punished like a dog. Why do you think this happens?
What is the philosophy of the movie Pulp Fiction?
I’m working with a better therapist who is helping separate from my abusive family. I feel that like a lawyer, the therapist should be an advocate for me, and not my parents. But many therapists advocate for parents.
My father recently went to therapy and his therapist requested “group counselling” which my gut feeling said was a red flag. What do you think about group therapy with extremely abusive family?
How can a man have any negotiating power in a relationship if the woman can withold sex as a weapon?
Would you say people who enjoy violent movies such as Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill have some sort of character flaw, maybe it's not a flaw that is obvious but a flaw that is revealing of their 'shadow' self as ung put it, so Stef would you automatically see it as a red flag or would you make a distinction between a movie as just being popcorn entertainment and just because someone enjoys seeing something that is lowbrow it does not necessarily mean it is a poor reflection of their inner character?
Have you seen the new sport where people take turns slapping each other as hard as they can in the face?

The wildest social media content, brought to you in vivid hallucinatory detail by philosopher Stefan Molyneux.
Freedomain Livestream 10 May 2023
You remarked recently on stream that c02 makes up a fraction of 1 percent of the atmosphere, and that we are perhaps overly fixated on the tiny portion in regard to climate change.
But surely the fact that atmospheric fluctuations in C02 can has such a huge impact of the growth of plants, nullifys your suggestion that it is 'too small a proportion' to be significant.
Sorry if I'm butchering your analysis but it seemed somewhat contradictory and I known you love a good critique!
Stefan, I’m a bit Spectrum and sometimes the way I articulate is misinterpreted as offensive (accusatory, passive aggressive, critical) when I make an assertive statement or a simple interrogative (albeit, I acknowledge the awkwardness in my language).
I often have difficulties getting even family members, who should be used to my style of language, to understand my questions as genuine, non-antagonistic inquiries.
How can I get people to just take my words at face value. It seems the more accurate I attempt to form my words, the worse it gets. I’ve totally given up on communicating with the emotionally dysregulated marxist on the left (their linguistic format is the extreme opposite of mine - seeking to disguise their actual intent in sophistry), but at a minimum I want to find a way to indicate to the people I care about most that my intent is genuine without guile.
Stef, your recent dream analysys call in was spot on! I was listening to it thinking "how can he be describing my life som accurately"
Hey Stef thanks for everything with your show. Helped me so much in life. Do you have a recommended reading list on things you’ve read that have helped you come to your philosophical perspective?
Listened to several Harvard Lectures on Philosophy today, I wonder if the amount of utilitarians change from before and after to any significant degree. There were very few Libertarians out of hundreds of people, even 13ish years ago
When I was younger I used to think the wrong politician getting elected would cause the end of the world. It was a nightmare living like that.
I hate utilitarianism. It makes no sense to say you can define the greater good, when you can't even define normal good.
Took this truth flamethrower with my dad recently and resulted in massive insults. Then he looped my brother into it, where he insulting and name calling me too and it’s still difficult to tell myself that it’s for the best. Do you have any tips on how to better deal with this?
How do you process guilt of potentially giving up too early on a friend? An old friend of mine died this year from alcohol withdrawals. I had not been in contact with him in 4 years. Probably not enough info here...
Stef is that why some gravitate to determinism? Some sort of narcissistic grief?

How much more authoritarian does Canada have to get before deciding its time to leave?
You said that discarding a perfectly viable embryo is not equivalent to abortion. I'm not saying I disagree with you, but I have a hard time understanding the difference, from a moral standponit, between an implanted embryo and a frozen one. Can you please help me?
Hi Stef, how did you raise Izzie so that she could understand how society works without becoming disillusioned or alienated?
It's May the 4th here in Europe, which means Star Wars day! What are your thoughts on the philosophical themes in Star Wars? I always thought the relationship between Luke and Vader is very interesting and would be worth examining.
Half way through the future at the moment - Stef would you take the opportunity to freeze/ suspend yourself like president Staten at the end of your life for a shot at experiencing the Civ?
But its the classic Joseph campbell hero journey!
Frodo and luke could have both denied the call to be a hero!
Stef you’re tapping into the greatest knowledge we can use in life. You’ve saved me from the clutch’s of manipulation from past acquaintances for the last 8 years. Everyday I work to push myself to be virtuous and my life is fulfilling and rewarding.
When I talk to my friends, who have children, about peaceful parenting, they say "Oh yeah that sounds good on paper but you will see once you have your own kids..."
Stef that last podcast about the guy struggling with his gym/training business was great. Very good business tips you gave that guy
I'll soon become a father, but I feel depressed. My life's never been this good compared to where I come from. I know I'll be a great father - I'm committed to peaceful parenting and being better than my FOO ever was. Could this depression be triggered by malicious alter egos? You often say "Who wants you to X?" Sometimes I think I want to make changes in one generation that usually takes three.
Follow up on the Tolkien comment. Couldn't you argue that Ayn Rand was extremely popular for stories that argue against the virtues of gov?
Stefan, any advice for what to look for in a place for homeschooling? Is it better to hunt for lax homeschool lows and higher family percentages and crime rates, or crime rate and seclusion? When I do research usually the secluded areas have more reported drug overdoses. My other concern is I'm making the decision without the partner.
Not taking replicated trauma, abuse personally really seems to make the case for free will, self-ownership, the opportunity for every soul to be better and do Good. Damn this goes deep. Need to internalize this better.
It's interesting how of the ten commandments, only the 'honor thy father and thy mother' is written in a consequentialist way, followed up by saying 'so that you may live long.' Reminds me of the book Origins of War in Child Abuse and the widespread infanticide described there. Maybe it's a warning, not a moral law?

I’m getting married in July! Tips for being the best husband? ☺️
What is the difference between a disagreement and a conflict?
Stefan, "I love you I hate you" as you said, it describes my 10 year long relationship. I've been single for years now. I learned a lot from your talks about myself and why I was with these awful women.
Do you have any pets, Stef?
How do you feel about tech implants? Simple as a pace maker up to brain chip AI?
What are you thoughts about parents who give up children for adoption and then try to reconnect with them as adults?
Stef what's with first Republic bank crash today? Same thing as SVB?
Do you think culture is too unreliable a mechanism for establishing social norms that are conducive to a peaceful and prosperous society. Instead should we have objective principles to live by or if we have to default to culture, should we admit that some cultures are better than others?
What are your thoughts on moving to a new country with young children? Our lovely right-wing Christiaan conservative government here in Hungary has banned homeschooling and mandated compulsory daycare from the age of 4 (or the year they become 4), and it totally upended our plans in life. Now we will have to move a few years after our first child will be born and its tough to navigate around that, especially as it will be a whole new culture and language. What can we do to best prepare for that?
I've recently made progress overcoming dissociation from my body using some yoga-esque techniques. Where does philosophy end and body work begin with regards to resolving trauma? The answer I have is "I need to feel it"... but I my logical brain doesn't quite like that answer. Thanks 🙏
Is culture synonymous with art?
Will Bitcoin replace the US dollar or will the BRICS nation implement a reserve currency and continue the cycle of manipulation and control?
When you talk about body and mind being a team; I was hanging onto life exactly one year ago. While in the hospital recovering, I was listening your live stream a year ago plus a few days, you said that we as a community are a team. I just want to sincerely thank you because your words really helped me in desperately hard times.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes a series of blunt and brutal questions 26 Apr 2023...
Sunday Live - 23 Apr 2023!
My company is laying off 7,000 people this week. I am trying to stay calm but it's still stressful. Advice?
At what age should you stop giving babies what they want when they cry? Ours is ten months old and I think it might be time
Hello! Parenting question: my 2.5 year old has begun to truly defy me. Example- look me straight in the eye and jab me with his fork again when I just told him not to. How would you approach this issue?
Thanks, more info on the "defiant" 2 yr old: he indeed seems to do these behaviours most when he's not the center of attention (example: kicks the dog while I nurse the baby, yells loudly when I'm making an appointment on the phone, pinches me if I'm talking to a mom friend at a playdate). My husband wfh and I am a sahm, both peaceful parents, all day he gets lots of attention, affection, playfulness. Is it unrealistic to expect him to take turns talking/having the spotlight, is he too young?
Hey Stef, what do you think of taking advantage of price swings in Bitcoin? A recent example would be selling at the 30k peak and buying again now at 27k
Is it a valid hobby or do you think your destined to lose in the long term?
Stef, how did you get the communicating skills you have verbal and written? Did you take some courses? Was it reading a lot? Practice? A combination of things?
What do you think of a manager pursuing a relationship with an intern/lower level employee? Do you think there would be issue given the power dynamic?
What do you think is the most most opportunity in learning A.I? Do you think it's more opportunity to be a prompt writer or be able to write the software that makes the A.I work?

Hi Stef how should you deal with one or more coworkers who bully you and slander you , confronting them only makes them bully more and you don't want to quit that job, should you just endure?
Hey Stef could you clarify why in a debate the Burdon of Proof lies on the accuser? Is it an etiquette thing? Or is it as simple as what is submitted with out evidence can be dismissed with out evidence? (like you've said before?)
I recently talked to my brother who flat out said he's not interested in "being good" and is okay to "not be evil" and that he's okay with "not being evil" he cares not to strive for virtue.
He confirmed my suspicions that he just doesn't about personal growth or being a force for good. My feeling is that of annoyance and despair, I also think I shouldn't get in his way of living a "neutral life (as he puts it) and respect his wishes. Any advice for addressing this issue is greatly appreciated.
What do you do when someone will not accept a sincere apology. I’ve itemized the offenses, took steps to assure this offense won’t happen again and I’ve paid restitution by doing a fairly expensive favor for them, which they accepted. We hugged and I thought it was over. Now I’m hearing they are still bad mouthing me and even making up lies about me in an attempt to hurt my reputation and business. Should I respectfully confront them?
In The Netherlands, daycare costs are almost entirely subsidized (95%).
The majority of kids will go to daycare up until they can start public school (age 5 usually), and then they will still go to some sort of after-school daycare to fill up the remaining hours, because both parents are working.
Can you help me understand why so many mothers don't hesitate to abandon their kids in order to work?
What happened to the maternal instinct of wanting to protect and nurture your offspring?
How can you help guide a teen girl through the initial stages of dating? When even is the right time for this to start? How can you encourage them to pick a boyfriend wisely and carefully?
We’d like her to pick someone with similar values and at a similar socioeconomic level. What are your thoughts on the latter? We feel the two go hand in hand. Similar economics would increase the likelihood of similar values.
She is giving some pushback on the issue as she is “dating” someone outside these criteria. We hesitate to demand they break off the relationship, but we also don’t want her to develop habits and expectations based on this first relationship.
Reading The Present makes me think twice about having kids. Do you think it’s risky to have kids right now right before a major economic catastrophe?

Wednesday Night Live 5 Apr 2023
Thank you for correcting my assumption about insecure people and calling them out for being manipulative bullies in previous livestream. I've done a lot to fix my life and have cut out severely toxic people, but apparently there are more. Many things are going my way and so I've noticed increased slights and competitiveness from those around me. Petty people.
Right, I can't have good things they already have for the very first time in my life. They need to one-up me or sow uncertainty.
How do you see the tech industry going? Do you think it will contract in the near future?
I've had a discussion with someone close to me about the definition of love. They give fog and resistance to the definition I've presented (the one you have presented before). It's the strongest thing in that this person has had months to digest and think about it. Each time we talk about it, he just says it doesn't sit well with him and says "it's just your definitionand doesn't mean it's true". What do you make of this?
How do deal with a partner who constantly gets defensive and deflects any issues I bring up ? She’s been through sexual childhood anbuse and her family is very dysfunctional, given the hand she was dealt she’s a big step above her upbringing and come a long way. I want to think time being in a stable relationship can help her come to a place of more stability, but the not taking accountability is hard to work through for me. Any suggestions ?
In your opinion, do dysfunctional people already know the type of person they want to invite in their mess or do they just put out signals to see who'll take the bait?
How do I stay out of their games? In other words - Is it my weakness for allowing myself falling into their traps or is it just them trying to evoke feelings in me which in turn makes me want to engage instinctively?
Someone told me I had bad character because I told them that I primarily come to you for my philosophy.
I have an issue with perfectionism. I set my goals way too high and it's hard to go through with them due to burnout. I start doing things, usually things I like, but at some point I get this urge to overdo everything. I can't just do the simple thing - I must challenge myself! Do I need to impress someone? My parents? There's been neglect in my past.
Also, I can't just donate 10 dollars - i "must" save up 100 dollars and THEN it'll be impressive! But it's tiresome and unproductive.
Any advice for how to promote homeschooling since the latest school shooting? It seems fairly cut and dry to me why it's the better option but women are so focused on the government solving the problem and not giving up their "me" time. They want safety for their kids but continue to go with the flow and send them to school knowing the risks.
Stef what are some tips to scan for nuts when meeting people?
Why are some people avoidant of things they didn't get as children in their adult life? Usually there's the opposite effect, for example, if you starved as a child then you'll be more likely to overeat.
Stef if you think tech will contract, what industries do you think might see some growth in the near future?
Keep up the great work Stefan! I thoroughly enjoyed your history of philosophers series. And in the past have enjoyed all of your history videos (especially the Fall of Rome ). Would love more such content, even if it's repeat postings here on locals of formerly posted videos on youtube.
Thank you for all you do. Didn’t grow up with a stable father so your lessons are much valued. 500 characters not nearly enough to ask about my situation, but I appreciate your stern response to how I’m living. Respect to you stef.

Feeling a bit disheartened as I approach turning 30, while I feel a bit more motivated to prioritize finding a partner after the shirtless rant, I feel like I haven't accomplished as much as I should have, I haven't necessarily made any disastrous mistakes and I feel like I'm making progress moving towards new career aspirations, I'm unsure what benchmark I should hold myself to at this stage, any constructive criticism?
I asked at start of stream about link between childhood trauma and obsession.

From a Freedomain Telegram live stream, Mar 21, 2023
Wednesday Night Live 23 Mar 2023
Hey Stef, you’ve mentioned having mourning rituals for death or breakups/divorces. Just wondering if you had a few you can throw at me?
Throughout childhood starvation was used as a punishment against me. I'm currently struggling to loose weight, any advice?
Question for stream: (following up on yesterday's stream around "lay count" question)
___
Bf - 28y - had 21 partners
Gf - 26y - had 16 partners
What do discuss before getting engaged?
What arrangements/resolutions to make?
Is there such a thing as discussing past relationships too much ?
(Been going out for over 1y)
We knew from very early on that:
-Values match
-Life vision matches
-Both want to have family
How does that align with your comment from yesterday that

Any suggestions to deal with loneliness, especially when you know a lot of people but that sense of connection is always wanting. I live alone, I can be talkative and people enjoy my company for the initial meeting but I have issues moving forward from that. (Pt 1)
I feel people never reach out to me, I have to initiate. I know I’m not owed anything I get what I give but it’s very tough. Especially on my days off I try to fulfill my social needs by going out, to the store; it gets expensive. I lack healthy friends my age (Pt2)
Hi Stef,
In a last few months I have doubts about having children. Whenever I think about it I see it as solution, like I will be whole when I have them. I sense that is not right. What are right reasons to have children in your opinion? And how do I measure or know that I done enough self-work to have children and have emotional full cup for them?
Thank you for the work you do, feel bit bad about not tipping you, I am not in financial position to do more then sub
Stef you mentioned that in the 80 or 90 that you couldn't get a job so you started your company. Why do you think you couldn't get a job?
Just rejoined the stream the second you took your shirt off. Not what I expected but a welcome surprise lol.

Freedomain Livestream, March 12, 2023
Hi Stef, is the ego strength that allows you to be wrong and change your mind the same thing as humility?
(correct me if I'm wrong ) In one live stream, you mentioned that if you spend the first 5 years with your child, they will stay with you for the rest of your life. What do you mean by this? Why is it so important for your child to be at home rather than in daycare? Thank you for your response."
Here is a quote from Karl Marx, "Philosophers are have only interpreted the world in various ways, the point is to change it." What do you think Stef, should the main aim of philosophers be to change the world rather than simply analyse it.
In Romans in the Bible it say that sin is what leads to death and that only through Jesus has we been able to have eternal life despite being sinful. Is there any logic in this?
My gf says it is ok to tell someone you require people you engage with do X, BUT wrong to tell them if they don't do X you will not engage with them. Thoughts? To me wording one way or another makes no difference
Hi from Finland 🖐️had to listen to Romans speech couple of times it was so awesome
What are your thoughts of the film Indecent Proposal where a man offers a couple 1 million dollars in order to spend a night with the woman. It seems to me like somethings in life are only as valuable as you're willing to sacrifice for them. The moment a couple accepts an offer like that, they are admitting that there is no sacred element to their relationship and its only foundation is material gain. Is this true?
Hey Stef. Thank you for your answer on your last live regarding setting standards with abusive parents. My wife struggled with why she shouldn't just cut them out until I figured out that setting standards is the best self defence and anger is at their level. Am I on the right track?
What do you think the solution is for people to not accept indecent proposals? Is this quote from Paul Woodruff correct? "If individuals turn to philosophy, their lives are changed; they set wisdom and virtue as their goals in place of power, wealth or reputation..." This quote assumes that all philosophy is enlightening rather than nihilistic or destructive. Perhaps a better way to phrase it is to seek wisdom.
Philosophy is derived from the word philosofia which is the love of wisdom. What does wisdom mean if it is a core part of philosophy?
Is wisdom not the set of things we can do to reduce our suffering?
What about mental suffering? This is uniquely human
Did you enjoy reading the Holy Bible at the time?
Can philosophy fix a sexual fetish?
In the event of a global financial crisis, Is the United States in a better position to recover since it retains more economic instruments? How does this compare with a country like Russia that has national debt under 15% and domestic energy production, or Japan that has an aged population with national debt over 200%?
Hey Stef I’d like to hear what you think on the harm porn does to people and relationships, especially those who are exposed to it from a really young age?
Me and my wife are currently holding our parents accountable for the trauma they caused us in our childhood. My Dad has outright ignored me reaching out, my mum did engage but won't accept. My wifes mum won't admit violence but her Dad is admitting he was violent but wants to brush it away. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this situation. Thank you for everything
Stef, any advice on dealing with meaninglessness as a struggling student. Thank you so much for sharing knowledge and reason all these years.
Today is International Women's Day. It gives me the creeps and makes me angry, and not just because all the stores and businesses are closed here in Berlin. I resent the observance because I feel like it is a case of a privileged class playing the victim. Is the something else about International Women's Day that is at all redeeming?
Stef you’ve interviewed people from across the spectrum. From Chomsky to Vox Day. Over the years do any interviewees stick out to you as far as being able to challenge your views?
Stef to become an engineer, or doctor etc, how do you think the education path to become an engineer/doctor should be?
Why is libertarianism and autism linked ?
I saw in Jonathan haidt's work that libertarians have high ability in systematizing, could this be why?
I noticed that some christian friends like you, Stefan, because listening to you they can get rational explanations for things that they used to support with faith-based arguments like "God said so". They become even more proud because they think "God is logos, my beliefs are rational" but I can't help seeing them as more "atheistic", because there's no more "god" in many of their stands, there's only logic. They like you because they can have the cake and eat it too?
I always recommend people I try talking to about libertarianism listen to Milton Friedman's free to choose TV program that's free to watch on YouTube. It's great for opening people's minds to the ideas.
What are you thoughts on geographical determinism, the idea that Europeans were destined to become more advanced than people from other places because of their environment?
What do you think could be behind falling IQ over the last few decades?
Hi Stef, is natural law not the basis of human rights (at least the negative rights)? Since they are so widely accepted in the western world, why is it so hard to argue for natural law vs. utilitarianism? Many people I argue with defend the greater good for the most people as the moral standard and discard natural law due to this.
Hi, Stef! I think I should talk to you because you always say call me before and I am developing a relationship which involves everything what not supposed to be in it including other beings and talking to god. How did I get into this after eight years of listening to Freedomain?😉
Hey Stef, we took a course and sleep trained our baby.
In two weeks of sleep training he went from terrible sleep to sleeping 11 hours every night and we usually don’t need to pop in and check on him at all.
You were right.
In a true free market, would you expect IQ to rise over time?
For your info, you have a total of about 221 days worth of content, which is crazy awesome lol
I have a family member that I love, but she has been heading in the wrong direction her whole adult life. Now that she is in her late twenties, I feel an urgency to save her. Like it’s now or never. She has never taken any of my advice or help in the past, and just keeps making bad choices (Botox, focusing too much on work, sleeping around, casual dating etc). I want her to wake up to reality before it’s too late. Can I save her?
if art is the collection and monetisation of trauma, how do you explain why the most trauma ridden slum countries like the “former” Soviet Union and other Communist countries (which are leftist utopias) are devoid of objective beauty and art?
Do you have any advice for helping a partner who has had a traumatic childhood and doesn't want to talk about it because the memories are too painful?
My Physical Therapist makes conversation during my sessions, she tells me about her children. One of them is 3 years old now and went into daycare at 4 months old. Ironically, I am in PT for an injury from giving birth to my now 4 month old and I feel ill when I imagine a baby so young in daycare.
I constantly wonder if she'd say her career is worth it. At the same time I know she'd be extremely offended. I wonder if there is a "time" to say it, or if I should at all.
Hey Stef. My 10yr old daughter desperately wants to go to school. She's never been.. I think she's feeling pressure from other kids in the neighborhood and in extracurricular. Have you ever gone through something similar with Izzi? My other children have never expressed interest in going to school. We're thinking we need to amp up the field trips or the FUN in our homeschool. She has a fantasy that she's going to see all her friends at recess or lunch or in the hallway...
Hi Stef, what are your thoughts on authors who create characters that the audience bonds with, only to kill them off or destroy their characters unexpectedly rather than gradually. Is this a sign of dysfunction or a normal option that authors should be able to explore?
Have you watched squid games Stef? It would be great if you did an analysis of shows that go viral in the cultural sphere
Does the choice of self-medication indicate a specific kind of trauma or unfullfilled need? Or anything goes in this regard?
Some spiritual gurus advocate for the development of ego strength through being able to distance oneself from the ego. What do you think
I think my fatal flaw might be self doubt/sabotage, how can I shake this off? I grew up with a real nasty verbally abusive older brother, do you think it could help to defoo the guy?
What do you think about the concept of 'enlightenment' and how this is both spiritual / non material but also material in the epistemological process of systematically investigating the outside world to enlightening oneself. Is enlightenment both material and non-material in itself focus?
Do you have an advice for dealing with anxiety? I've been taking major leaps to better myself, I'll be able to push through most of the anxieties but some times the anxiety gets so bad it's like my mind shuts down. I will eventually push through that too though.
Would you be interested in explaining the psychology of trolls? This is a very fascinating topic, especially with the recent troll flare-up in Freedomain chat.
How do you define success in your life?
I liked the little detail in The Present of Ian closing the car door that Cassie opened, very realistic. Women have trouble remembering to close doors.
Have you heard of the hagelian dialect and how people use conflict to create change. This was mentioned in a podcast I was listening to but don't know much about it. Do you think we're being turned against each other so that society can be reformed in the image of the ultra powerful?
A fascinating phenomenon on throughout history has been that most creative people tend to be left-leaning – philosopher Stefan Molyneux – himself an artist – explains this phenomenon...
My sister, who is gay, was hospitalized with a severe eye injury. She said that a bottle fell to the ground near her when she was in a lower position. But the only that her severe injury could have occurred would be that the bottle was thrown to the ground near her with speed and force that dodging the shard would have been impossible. By someone that’s angry and can’t control his/her temper. The only suspect would be her lover.
Hey Stef, much love to you and the community! What’s your thoughts and advice on overcoming nihilism?
Is there an explanation for the millennial “failure to launch” phenomenon? Is that because the millennial generation supposedly is the only generation to not outgrow socialist/Marxist ideology?
You deserve the donations. Thank you. I do not understand the sleeping stream or the mukbang stuff.
Hi Stef, I have a theory that atheists who are only willing to accept a 'perfect' moral framework in order to not be moral relativists are actually searching for something godlike or even a god itself. What do you think?
Do you think that someone can fully heal from a traumatic childhood and have kids? Do you need to fully heal to have kids?
Hi Stef, I’m a married father of 4 and I am really struggling with my marriage and self worth. What is the best way to request a call-in with you.
Stefan, I do not have good relationships with any of my 3 half-siblings, despite reasonable efforts on my end. Just no connection. Outright coldness from one. Are half-sibling relationships generally cold by default?
Hey Steph, I’ve never asked you a question, but been following you for 12 years. My wife and I are having a argument about who works the most in our household. I don’t find that this conversation ends well if we both attack each other so I’m trying to bring some clarity and a balanced perspective to the conversation. I make 250+ thousand dollars a year working 40 to 50 hours a week as a clinician. She renovate houses, primarily as the designer, but with some painting and wallpapering as well as general contracting the subcontractors. She makes approximately 25 to 50,000 a year and this money helps pay for the kids private school. before I left the house to pick up my son from soccer practice, she stated that she feels that she’s doing 60% of the work. I would love your take on this type of disagreement.
Stef what do you think of El Salvador President Bukeli? He broke the record in decreasing crime in the fastest time
Correct me if I’m wrong but if trauma leads people to be an artist and most artists are leftists, then why are leftist utopias like the Soviet Union or other third world slums devoid of objective beauty and beautiful art?
Any suggestions for dealing with overthinking and performance anxiety?
In 5120 you mention men talking women out of their neuroses. Do you have any advice for how I can be more effective at this?
Hi Stef, My prisoner pen pal in CA, who is 33 years old, got released from prison four months ago having served his seven year sentence for burglary (baloney theft) and abruptly went off the radar. He doesn't know anybody except me and his sister. I'm pretty sure he has a touch of autism, he's not socially outgoing. He is still alive; I found his arrest warrant for vandalism last week. Also, he decided he was a girl and went on transgender hormones last year and I believe he is shooting meth daily now too. I miss him. I have no idea / can't imagine what is going on in his head. What do you think is going on with him? Where is he going with this?
Hey Stef, when’s the Nietzsche and Schopenhauer philosophy episodes coming? I hope you don’t have some sort of prejudice towards old German guys with moustaches, I hope it’s because your preparing to deliver the richest and deepest insight into the philosophy of these two guys ever and that is the reason your taking so long to get around to them. If so I understand Stef, take your time. Make sure to include Nietzche’s idea of ‘eternal recurrence’. Imagine being born in the same life in the exact same circumstances over and over again forever!
In general how much do you think a woman cares about the prestige/social value of a man’s job versus his earnings? For example a plumber making a few hundred k a year versus a more white collar job making far less but with a more “impressive” title.
Although I do feel the blue collar man is due for a big comeback in the years ahead.
Hi Stef, I'm current listening to the UPB audiobook and I have a question.
If two universally preferable behaviors contradict one another, which one do we default to? Take this example discussed at the 2:25:40 time stamp. https://odysee.com/@freedomain:b/universally-preferable-behaviour-a-2:a?src=embed
- Everyone would rather steal an apple than starve to death.
- Thus everyone universally prefers stealing apples to death by starvation.
- Thus it is universally preferable to steal apples rather than starve to death.
- Thus survival is universally preferable to property rights.
- Thus what is good for the individual is the ultimate moral standard.
Here the contradiction is between survival and property rights. You've used biological mutations not disproving biological classifications as a rebuttal, but usually biological mutations don't contradict the essence of a biological classification.
You have also said, that a survival based morality doesn't offer answers to questions such as "If it is morally permissible to steal food when you are starving, how much food can you steal? How hungry do you have to be? Are you allowed to steal meals rather than look for work or appeal to charity?"
However, if according to UPB self defense is justified, surely there are also similar questions such as " How do you know whether or not a threat is eliminated? Can you preemptively defend yourself or is self defense only reactive?" So surely the complexity or potential for abuse exists in both cases.
You have also said, survival based behaviors use "mere biological drives as justifications for behaviour... It is an explanation of a behavior rather than a proposed moral theory."
UPB however, is also driven by the biological drive to live and it is also an explanation of behaviors so I don't understand how on a technical level the desire to survive as a UPB, is less valid than other UPBs.
If the desire to survive isn't a UPB, can you talk more about why? If it is a UPB, how do we organise it into a hierarchy with all the other UPBs?
Thank you in advance
Do you follow much politics and just not talk about it on the show or have you cut out most of it from your life?
Just a "humble" request: never speak about or answer questions about (boomer 😉) music again. Simply ignore the time-wasting weirdos that ask them! Not a big deal.
It's irrelevant & useless... (yeah, yeah, I know you'll probably say that useless for me doesn't mean useless for everyone... bla bla bla 😉 ... but a sequence of words won't change the fact it's gonna be worthless and, thus, probably irritating for 98% of people here, who have no interest in others' [often unheard] favorite bands, singers, songs, and lyrics, esp. from the times before they were born)
The amount of evil and deciet, and wars going on.... people in our society just supporting it and rabbidly attacking people who question it. We are at the verge of a nuclear war with Russia ... and people still cheering on Zelensky ...WTF is going on !!! its absolute insanity.
what is your opinion of “confession” that churches tend to promote? I believe there’s some value to this, but, at the same time, can be a problem if you come from an abusive environment where morality is subjective.
I confessed to a priest on Ash Wednesday last week before your live q & a about my choice to be too comfortable in my living situation. I confessed that it has brought me further away from God and has a compounding effect regarding sin.
In what ways do you consider behavioral addictions like television watching different from substance addictions? How are the antecedents different (or similar)? Should different methods be used for breaking the substance vs. behavioral addiction?
Do you think there is a benefit in taking a dedicated day off each week like a sabbath? Or do you prefer to strike whenever the iron is hot no matter what the day?
"Morality is always higher than law and we cannot forget this ever." -- Solzhenitsyn
Hi Stef, what are your thoughts on children having different last names? My wife and I have a son with my last name and made an agreement prior to marriage that we would alternate. We are expecting our second now, who will be getting hers. I have been having second thoughts about this, due to societal pressure but wanted to know if there's something we're missing. Thanks again for everything you do.
Why is "wage slave" a term reserved for people who do jobs a leftist wouldn't? Wouldn't it be a label better suited to people who compromise their values for fear of getting fired (i.e. parrot woke ideology, buckling to vax mandates, etc)? Feel like the right is missing a golden rhetorical opportunity here...
Any philosophical thoughts or practical tips on raising kids at noticeably different IQ levels? My daughter is on the average side, started to read around age 6 - typical. My son (4) already reads, can add and subtract (without us pushing, he just absorbs it) and in general shows signs of above average intelligence. What we do, is to instill in our kids the joy of achieving stuff (like my daughter was practicing balance on a pedal-less bike deliberately to later switch to a normal bike - she's in general very good with physical/balancy things) and we try to focus on stuff like: "remember how it was difficult before, and then you tried more and learned?". I'd appreciate if you shared your thoughts 🙇♂️
Thoughts on dating apps? Stats show that the odds are against most men. My experience has been that many women use the apps for attention and validation and have little intention of meeting up, or they are paralyzed by too many choices. Much like when I'm trying to decide what to watch on streaming services. It can be demoralizing at times.
Despite being called a cult leader, do you think you won the battle culturally on the issue of family relations? From what I have been seeing, while its still not the dominate opinion, its not as taboo that it once was to say you don't have to have abusive or dysfunctional family in your life. I think progress is being made.
What do you think of video game sports? Is it even worse then regular physical sports or better? Feel like it’s just pure entertainment. No value.

A listener lost $30,000 - leaving him $20,000 in debt. He lost his fiancé as a result, and things can get even worse...
Hey Stefan, possible case of family annihilator in UK. Emma Pattison (she was headteacher of Epsom college) and her daughter were shot dead by the husband who then killed himself. Why are some men family annihilators? What drives them to do this?
Hey Stefan,
how can I identify my own manipulations with my child or to say it in another way how do I know if I am inadvertently manipulating my toddler?
Also what are your thoughts on couple counseling?
Thank you ~
why don't people blame the parents of early adult suicide victims for being terrible parents?
I can think of some surface reasons like "don't want to get busted for being a bad parent" but is there something deeper?
Would you be interested in polling your listeners according to sex, age, continent of origin, relationship status etc.
Someone mentioned in a thread here on Locals that the majority of your listeners are young, single men. Is that really so?
How can I better negotiate with my 4 year old son who is reflexively disagreeable. My wife and I are committed to peaceful parenting, but his lack of cooperation are disruptive to daily activities, family outings, etc. He gets plenty of one on one parent and group family time to explore relationships and dynamics. Thanks!
Could you explain the causes of the Industrial Revolution? I’ve heard you make the case that morality drove innovation, specifically the ending of slavery in 1833, which allowed for new cotton-based agricultural labour saving devices in the late 19th and early 20th century.
How would you explain the creation of other labour-saving devices prior to 1833? What were the moral conditions that allowed textile based machinery, the steam engine and machine tools to be created whilst slavery was still widely practiced in the Industrial Revolution?
If you could timeline starting from the Roman Empire until 1833 the increasing moral standards and the subsequent technological advancements? Is it really cause and effect? Or can an argument be made that morality and innovation are independent from each other? And can you reiterate why the process isn’t reversed (labour saving devices lead to increased moral standards).
Thank you Stef!
Why might a father and/or mother continue to feign amnesia of their abusive behavior rather than apologize to their children, knowing their children no longer accept these lies? My oldest brother has drifted away, 2nd has DFOO'd while leaving an open door should they choose to apologize, and I am currently apartment hunting in preparation of DFOO'ing. What do they have to gain that is worth losing all their sons and grandchildren?
Modern Western women have an almost superhuman ability to sense which men are and are not having regular sex, and then they typically are only receptive to the advances of the more promiscuous and thus confident men. Many men report “dry spells” due to this feedback loop, and it even affects well-meaning men seeking a partner for a long term relationship. How can an otherwise attractive man break out of this vicious cycle?
Would you agree that if young people share their privacy so eagerly in social media, they will also not mind giving up their privacy to the state and therefore increase its power?
You have suggested that in a stateless society, ostracism would play a role in preventing or punishing crimes. The collectivist Left has been using this tactic for years, and it's a method that is tearing down society. Obviously the collectivist Left is completely irrational, and the people ostracizing like they do suffer from public schooling and other mind destroying institutions, but does this make you concerned about the role of ostracism in a stateless society? (While writing this message, it occurred to me that maybe this is also proof of it's effectiveness, when applied in a RATIONAL society 🤔)
Myself and many others in the manosphere have noticed that when it comes to dating preferences, American women tend to be far more ruthlessly obsessed with a man’s status and dominance than are European women. For example, the loudest and most obnoxious guy in a US bar, typically a super alpha frat-bro type, mesmerizes women, but in Europe he would be more likely to be dismissed as a buffoon. Why do you think this is?
Why is it that communists are usually (and probably most effectively) opposed by authoritarian right-wingers instead of libertarians or Ancaps? Is this due to tribalistic human nature, the inability of individualists to act in a coordinated manner, or other factors?
Could a DRO enforce imprisonment, the death penalty, or even cruel and unusual punishments if members agreed to contracts including these measures?
How does the NAP apply to vengeance and preemptive strikes? Both today and in a voluntary society.
I find myself getting into an uncontrollable rage with my kids because they do not listen to what I or my girlfriend say. Especially my 6 year old who has an attitude. I do not outright hit them but I will be aggressive, shove (rarely), shout, growl, and act in ways that are not appropriate for a father. However, for lack of a better way to put it, I just can't stop myself. I know I am still responsible for my actions, but in the moment it feels like I can't hold back. Please help!

Hey Stef, do you believe parents have a moral obligation to create intergenerational family wealth for their children? I have tried to convince my boomer mother to buy a house together with a rental suite.. This would be mutually beneficial as it would allow my wife and I to have a stable place to raise our son. My mother lives with her boyfriend at the moment and this arrangement would allow her to get a source of income as she heads into retirement age, while also giving her a place to move back into in the event her health turns or she splits with her boyfriend.
As you know BCs real estate market is incredibly expensive and this arrangement would be the only way to get into property ownership locally for my family without saving for years in the inflationary decade we are in. My mother doesn't seem sold on this idea and has said she has considered buying a house with her boyfriend instead, who is in the process of selling a house he owned with his late wife. This would leave my family out in the cold. My mother has suggested that we move away to the prairies for more affordable housing. This seems disrespectful to me as she would almost never see her grandson. Am I wrong to be angry with her telling us to move away? I feel like if my son came to me with a similar arrangement I would do everything I could to be closer to my family and to help my son build wealth. Thanks

What are the benefits of talk therapy and what should someone expect to do when starting talk therapy? What Do you expect from a session and things to do in between sessions?
Stefan we need you to go back on Twitter, we need an update on Taylor Swift’s eggs, even if this is the one and only thing you tweet, I need to see it because I want to watch and see the leftists go absolutely crazy 🤪🤪🤪🤪, I want to see #Taylor& rsquo;sEggs trending on Twitter!!! Hahahaha!!
Does cyber-bullying violate UPB?
Various forms of blackmail are illegal of course, much of which has been made easier in the social media age. The abuse through texts, and the digital manipulation games people play might be passive-aggressive, does that violate UPB?
Hello, Steff. An aunt in my extended family has recently shared that she was sexually abused by one of her siblings growing up. The large number of siblings who are now all above middle age, have not yet shown any signs of addressing this or treating the offender any different which is greatly hurting the victim. I would really appreciate some advice here. I think the other siblings need a nudge to deal with this obviously uncomfortable situation and fully understand that they are hurting their sister. For further context, I think they are all traumatized from a bad father and are ill equipped to deal with this without outside input.
What is your take on the Law of Assumption by Neville Goddard ?
I came across this as my girlfriend often assumes how I feel or think without asking, and she’s usually not accurate so I find it irritating. My line of work tends to take a mental toll on me, and sometimes it’s hard to be upbeat and happy, my partner then assumes I’m unhappy with her or I take work stress out on her.
We’ve been together a year and half, we live together in a house I bought before our relationship. She was untrustworthy early in our relationship, where I’m certain there was an affair. I felt a lot of resentment and it took me a long time to get over. She still denies anything happened and wanted to continue the relationship. I caught her lying a couple more times afterwards. But still foolishly stayed with her.
Now this past August, at a high school reunion I got way too drunk and ended up having a one night stand. I chose to say I got too drunk and don’t remember what happened, as parts of the night I didn’t actually remember. But after people talked around town and she had heard things from her friends I decided to come clean instead of continue lying. It was a terrible thing for me to do. I think it had been easier for me to lie about it since I had been lied to multiple times by her previously.
She since doesn’t trust me (understandably).
Lately I guess I’m just feeling battered by work and home life, is it time to throw in the white towel, get her to move out and start over anew?
We are in a viscous cycle for almost a year now. Where I had trust issues first, and now it’s her with the trust issues. there’s a lot more to it of course, but I’m trying to keep it shorter for the question.
I guess I’m curious of your opinion, can the law of assumption help to overcome trust boundaries and repair a relationship? I tend to be a more positive, deep thinking person whereas she’s been through lots of trauma in her life, assumes the worst in most cases and is oppositional defiant.
She is great in so many ways, but I know her childhood traumas cause her a lot of issues. It’s caused our relationship to suffer and now I’ve participated in doing serious damage myself.
At 30 years of age, I’m starting to feel the panic of finding the right partner to start a family with, but am I choosing the wrong person?
You often say it’s the individuals fault for staying with the person, and I do fear I may become one of these individuals who stayed with the wrong person.
Wednesday Night Live 12 Jan 2022
Hi Stef, regarding marriage I was wondering how you built a happy marriage without having successful examples to follow?
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question knowing what you've said in the past but are you going to use your Twitter account?
Has a caller/debate opponent ever changed your mind about something ?
If so, what did they help change your mind about ?
How do I confront my often verbally abusive dad about mistakes that I think he made as a parent when the response will be more verbal abuse?
What do you think of Bergson's statement that democracy is the only system compatible with dignity but has a small flaw... Doesn't promote meritocracy? (Hope I didn't distort too much)
Can someone in their 30’s have a personality change? Is it possible for an introvert to become an extrovert? Is the term “introvert” an excuse me and others use to not do the work of socializing (parts of which are challenging)… OR do you think this is created at a more genetic level?
Can I be extroverted and make a massive personality change in this stage of my life? Have you heard of the concept of athletes/performers using an “alter ego”.
Regarding marriage, why do you think the divorce rate is so high? Is it because up to 45% of relationships aren't built on virtue?
Actual question. If there are no minor children involved how do you feel about keeping your word re: marriage vows for better or worse and staying married even when unhappy as was tradition vs breaking up a marriage? When no one is actually trying to improve things?
What do you think accounts for the discrepancy in post Soviet republics and satellite states? Some places, namely Poland and Czech Republic, seem to have gone in the right direction in regards to expanding freedom of speech and civil liberties. Other places seem to be frozen in time, most are in a quagmire of corruption with little economic development to show for after 30 years since dissolution of the USSR.
If love is our involuntary response to virtue (if we are virtuous), does this also apply to parental love? If so, what virtues do children display to make a parent love them?
Is it acceptable under peaceful parenting to take a toy from your child to pay a debt they owe for being badly behaved?
For me, the concept of soulmate doesn't mean "no conflicts". It just means they are the most compatible partner—they're still going to trigger your fears like no other, because you're really getting close to someone and the stakes are the highest possible
yes! this is has big a big problem in my house. my wife always pulls the "I'm not getting paid" card
Hey Stef, are females and males equally propagandized? I’m curious if there’s biological basis.
If unrealistic expectations are harmful to longterm relationships, does this include the idea of romance? What are your thoughts on the concept of romance and its relationship to virtue if any.
In order for a model of virtue to be understood and accepted by society on a large scale, does it need to be embodied in the form of a story or human life, like that of the Buddha or Jesus?
Do you think being good at philosophy is a super power? If so, why aren't there any super heroes who are great philosophers?
Just want to thank you for helping change mine & my wife's lives. It took us both 20 years to work through childhood trauma that immobilized both of us. Now we have a marriage I wouldn't change for anything. We want kids but we are in our 40s and it took a long time to get hear for us.
Jordan Peterson believes that the bible was succesful because of its story telling capacity and embodiement of virtue in the form of a person like Jesus. He's skeptical of Sam Harris' approach to objective morality based on science because its too sterile. Is it possible for morality to be too sterile?
Stef I asked a lady I am dating what's her salary and she refused to tell me. We been dating for a month
Dr. Laura got the concept. Wives keep hubby happy and he will be happy to do all the little things and big things that will make you want to be happy. Her example, look at him like your knight in shining armour and act like it, and he'll cross the burning desert barefoot to bring her a lemonade. The power to be happy is within her own power. They cancelled her 20 years ago. You are in great company @freedomain
What do you think of Sam Harris' attempt to derive morality from science. Is it true that you can't derive an ought from an is?
Do you support Prince Harry exposing the truth about innerworkings of the Royal Family?
My brother said that there aren't bad people, only bad actions. How do I process this? He harmed some people as a teenager so maybe this is his way of processing his dark past, but is this indicative also of the skepticism towards moral truths?
Either you control your own moral reasoning, or 'relativism' will be used to control you!

Every woman's worst nightmare...
Hi Stef, my I'll try to keep this brief. I've been together with my boyfriend for 12 years. He is from another country than me and we have been taking turns living in each other's countries. After living in my country he became depressed and wanted to leave. I decided to come along. Unfortunately neither of us found each other liking it so we moved back. However, due to moving he has lost his rights to residence in my country. Please help Stef I feel desperately stuck in my situation.
Hey Stef I met you at the Freedom Fest back in…2018ish? You sat with me and gave me some kind words. I was very drunk…BUT I’ve recently become sober with the help of AA?
Do you know about AA basic ideas? If so what do you think?
I have an issue with emotional eating/binging any thoughts on why someone eats that way?
Had a drinking problem before that I kicked
Hey Stef.
After hearing you talk about fatal flaws recently, I've realized mine is Perfectionism.
My perfectionism is crippling, because it causes me to do absolutely nothing if I can't do it "right".
"Perfect is the enemy of the good" is a good description of my issue.
Any thoughts?
Do you increasingly support Christianity primarily because it's a bulwark against communism, even though you prefer that people reach virtue through philosophy instead of religion?
Hi Stef, what are your thoughts on unchosen obligations, specifically the religious obligation to honor thy mother and father. More generally, are unchosen obligations a necessary good for society since that has been suggested in a video I just watched by Jordan Peterson
How do I deal with someone who is very sarcastic, but very humorous and the jokes are about me? I laugh because it's really. So it continues.
Why do our parents have such an emotional hold over us as adults?
I got drunk at a company event the other day and tried to discuss the non-aggression principle, and it went over like a lead balloon. Trying to figure out how to walk that one back even though I was being honest. They want to talk to me about it next week. I feel like I humiliated myself talking to a bunch of NPCs about libertarian philosophy. I avoid alcohol because it makes me a bit too honest when maybe I should hold back on certain topics or be a bit more careful introducing the ideas.
Became a father in December, any advice for taking better care of infants?
Stef, under what reasonable circumstances a man who broke up with a women, should take her back? The fact they broke up in the first place is bad enough but is there any reasonable way it can actually happen and work out? Thank you very much.
Thank you very much for the clarification between love and honor. It's an important nuance that I didn't see. What about other unchosen obligations, such as our obligations to the state. How do we distinguish between unchosen obligations that are beneficial to society and those that aren't.
Did any people in your extended family have a positive influence on your childhood? I’m an Aunt and I want to be a positive influence for my niece.
When you fall of the tracks and get lost in chaos, do you have a way of pulling yourself back together? A good method of centering yourself?
Do you have personal preferences to help create a universal safety net that encourages hard work that doesn't violate the NAP?
My mother used to beat me frequently and my father was distant, 20 years later our relationship is kind of cold, i find it hard to smile around them and show happiness, they treat me good now but that past is still there, its hard for me to open up and tell them about it, why wont parents initiate such conversations? i see it is very common that the child always needs to initiate instead of the parents.
How's the book editing going Stef?
Some say we should forgive the COVIDIANS who pushed vax mandates and lockdowns. I say no forgiveness unless they seriously apologize, and then maybe.
I feel like I have an obligation to help toward my mother, as she seems powerless/stucki in her relationship to my fahter. Def resonate with the current topic.
Stef why did your father abandon you with mother? Was he afraid of your mother and just ran away?
Do you think the trauma of World War 1 and World War 2 was the primary explanation but not justification for dysfunction in the boomer generation?
How do we manage our instincts towards obligations? For example men feel obligated to protect women and women feel obligated to nurture life. Do positive obligations have an evolutionary root? Or are some of them branded into our psyche by our culture and these are the ones we should reject.
I was baffled at the response to not go outside and exercise in order to quarantine
Why do you think anti homeschoolers use socialize in public schools as a con for homeschooling?
Aren't mega corporations just proxy extensions of government power these days? And consequently we are left with essentially a new branded version of communism?

Hi Stef, maybe i got it wrong, but in your video "The Story of Your Enslavement" you said in the end "To see the farm is to leave it". What do you mean by it? can you elaborate? Thank you
Hi Stef, how can teachers best support students from (at best) extremely strict families who present with crippling anxiety? Thank you for all you do
Hey Stefan, loving the show. I'm going to try tip more often, you deserve it! Especially more than than restaurant staff (their philosophy is tasteless) ;P
Tomorrow will be my first time as an hiring manager. The role is for a software engineer at my company. Any tips or advice?
Stef do you have any tips to have successful sales calls with potential clients?
You may have answered this last show, but do you think people can actually consent to arranged marriages? It just feels like a form of human trafficking to me.
So my wife is in school to teach and has many teacher friends. When I speak to her or her friends she calls me non supportive and condescending. I bring up charity systems and lower pay because summers and winter off etc... She states I'm incentive and turns off my reasoning. Thoughts?
What advice would you give a person who's awakened to the horror of their many years of R-selected and degenerate behavior and is now so filled with shame that they can't figure out how to move past it or ever hope to assert their own needs in the world? How can the sort of person you'd certainly advise others to steer clear of based on their past hope to change their life and be able to form healthy relationships?
Stef, why is judging people considered a bad thing, people also say to not judge a book by its cover for example. But aren't judgements useful to quickly filter through people and waste less time, or am I missing something here?
Stef how long do you think the U.S economy can survive without a collapse? 5 years? Peter Schiff thinks 2023 will be a bad year for the U.S economy.
Stef, I've read that inflating a currency incentivizes people to consume conspicuously and disincentivizes saving - could this (over-consumption due to inflation) be what leftists are critiquing when they squeal about consumerism, in the same way that when they criticize capitalism they are actually criticizing the ill effects of crony capitalism/fascism ?
Stef any recent experience with the great slowdown? I went to a restaurant, food was late, was wrong and everyone seemed aloof, I notice this carelessness in other businesses as well.
Hi Stef! You have ignited the flame of fatherhood within me and 2 days ago our 2nd child was born in good health. I am 46, do you have any ideas or thoughts about parenthood at a higher age? Many thanks

Hi Stef! Do you think cognitive dissonance is real? Can a person truly not be conscious of their own contradictory beliefs, or is it a shit test by bad actors to see who will be permissive of their hypocrisy?
I have been giving tons of thought to the future of AI after watching the movie Bladerunner 2049. If AI advances far enough, less say "self aware" with its own ambitions and emotions, would morality push us to treat it similar to animals at some point?

Stef if you changed your name to Stefania Molyneuxa, put on a blond wig you would have been a New York best seller like Jennette McCurdy.
Thanks for answering my stupid AI question. Now I'm going to ask you the question I should have to start with:
My father does not see spanking as child abuse if done as a last resort. I have had conversations with him about peaceful parenting and he believes some children will only respond to punishment.
I told him if that is the case, he will never spend time with my future kids alone if he chooses to spank and doesn't change his position. Was I right to do this?
I read Anthem in High School, it was the first High School level book I read cover to cover.
I've listened to most of The Fountainhead on YouTube, thoroughly enjoying it.
The next Rand book on the list is Atlas Shrugged.
How would you rank those three books and what other books of hers would you suggest?
Stefan, what is your fatal flaw?
How do you develop the discipline to avoid the behaviors that are bad for you and do the things that are so unenjoyable but necessary for your progress as a person?
If you have a serious health condition why do you think people try and move on from the subject rather than express sympathy?
All that I left behind...
Stef, do you think standard (not excessive; not a beating) corporal punishment can be responsible for teen and adult children subconsciously seeking physically abusive relationships? What about self harm, such a cutting oneself? In my American Deep South culture, most parents whip and spank their kids, but not all of us turn out this way. Thank you.
what are your thoughts on government funded therapist, people have told me that government funded therapists are phosticated hierarchy gangs that pray on peoples weaknesses to be happy.
Are there personality/psychological profiles for certain careers? For instance, women who go into the sex/porn industry were likely to have been sexually abused as children, but are there less obvious career choices that possibly have red flags? And how could I go about researching this?
I have found Practical Anarchy and Everyday Anarchy on your site. How do I find Achieving Anarchy?
since bomb in the brain what are some of the things you have discovered about child hood amnesia and have you found ways to reverse it.
Stef, what's the difference between anger and hate? Can we say any of them is inherently good or bad?
What's the best argument (if any) against the thesis that we should limit the spread of something like hate?
Stef, how do you know someone loves you? And specifically, how does a child know their parent loves them?
do you think it is hypocritical for people to judge people who were coerced to get the covid injections on the basis they were risking their lives when the people judging are paying tax so forfeiting part of their life to the state anyway? Is this a valid equivalence?
Hello and Merry Christmas Stefan! I was wondering if you could help me understand something: on a recent call in (with that Finnish girl who moved to Australia) you talked about how once you confront your abuser and start to assert your own needs and preferences, that they begin to see you not just an inanimate object into which they can pour their abuse, but as a real person who they have terribly hurt (you used the kitten in the pillow analogy). This is one reason why being confronted in such a way is so painful for the abuser. (Please correct me if I have misunderstood!) I thought that that was a really insightful and useful thing to explain, but it then made me wonder how that fits together with what you have said about how abusive people (usually) aren’t ignorant or misguided of the evil they do, as is often claimed, because they consciously hide their behaviour from public scrutiny; they purposely keep it behind closed doors. I was wondering how these two explanations (which I realize are not explaining the exact same thing) can be applicable to the same person. The first one seems to recognize that the abuser is somewhat unaware of the hurt they have done, but the second one shows how they are fully aware that what they are doing is morally inexcusable and abusive. I look forward to hearing what you have to say! Thanks.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Dear Stef-
I’m writing to you because of recent events that have transpired in my marriage. A few months ago my husband called his longterm ex girlfriend and a few days ago, I discovered that he had her phone number saved in his phone.
We have been together 6.5 years and married for over 2 years. We both have a history of family dysfunction, as well as relationship dysfunction.
Our current marriage is my 4th and his 2nd.
My husband and I were alike in many ways (before I was introduced to you)- hyper independent and completely disrespectful of the opposite sex.
We both “self sabotaged” our relationships and both of us were extremely selfish and lacked empathy. We’ve both had emotionally immature ways of dealing with conflict. I’ve slowly learned how to handle my anger and hurt in more appropriate ways through listening to your podcasts.
He has listened to a few of your podcasts with me, but he still struggles with accepting the truth and reality of who his family is and how they affect his life. I, however, have defoo’d from my entire family, with exception of my brother (who recently passed) and my cousin. (Both of my parents are now deceased. )
About 3 months into my current relationship, my brother began sharing your videos with me. The two that he sent me were “My girlfriend is in the attic” and “The dangers of dating a super model”. Those two videos are permanently burned into my brain. They began the profound change in my life that I had been so desperately seeking. I knew that I was screwed up, but I didn’t know how to change. Your brutally honest way of explaining things was EXACTLY what I needed to finally call myself out on my BS excuses for living such a morally bankrupt lifestyle. I will NEVER be able to repay my brother, nor you, for permanently altering my life for the better.
Once you opened my eyes to what an absolute POS I was and had been for 40 years, I was overcome with grief and regret. I changed my mindset so drastically that my closest friends were left in shock.
I now believe that I should fulfill my role as a woman and no longer feel the need to “be a man” or “not need a man”. Physically, my body is paying for “being a man” for the previous 40 years. I chose to completely change my lifestyle. I gave up my 18 year career and my horse ranch and dog rescue to move in with my current husband. I gave up my comfortable 6 figure salary to become a housewife. I gave up my dream home to move into an older house that is literally falling apart. The trade was worth it because the bond and commitment that I have with husband is more than I could have ever imagined possible.
There have been so many times that I felt like I was going to burst at the seams because I so desperately wanted everyone around me to have this opportunity to live a life that isn’t full of mistrust and deception. I would share your videos and thoughts, only to be met with complete rage from other women. I gave up on offending people with the truth and decided to just accept the reality that most people aren’t searching for answers or truth.
It seems like every time my husband and I have a conflict, we reasonably work things out and are closer afterwards. This one conflict has been the exception. I’m hurt. I feel embarrassed and disrespected by him. He has given me a few BS Non apologies and admitted that he was wrong- but in the same breath has tried to blame me for him calling her. He wants this to just go away and us get back to how we have always been. He says it was just a “stupid decision” and that he has always had her number saved. I need to figure out who is the bigger dumbass- him or me? And WHY did he do this?
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes a variety of wild philosophical and personal questions!
Is there any good reason for a random male to end up in your partner's inbox.
I think the saying "slide into the DMs" is about a nerfarious man sending out the instant messenger equivalent of cold calls.
Any thoughts, stef ?
Have you watched the recent Star Wars show called and/or and would you be considering doing a review ?
I’m a 45 yr old woman getting married 28 Jan to the man of my dreams I found by a miracle after much self knowledge acquired by years of listening to you but I feel still feel paralyzed and lots of anxiety about being the center of attention likely due to extreme neglect and narcissistic upbringing. This may need to be a call in show but any advice to jumpstart my actions and if not can you schedule a call in with me soonest?
If you intellectually understand a problem, but have difficulty internalizing emotionally, does this indicate you have to dig for a deeper understanding? Or can some things simply be “hard pills to swallow” and the emotions will calm down in time?
When having a discussion with someone recently they said that I'm not light hearted enough and never take an answer at face value and just keep asking.
I assume this is a sophistic tactic, is it ?
recently had a friend commit suicide. Second friend in 8 months from the same friend group. We had talked about that first friend before. Now I'm trying to figure if I should stay around this group of friends in this dark time of if I should distance myself for my own sake.
Do you think the move towards atheism and away from the church is not because of “love of the science” but actually caused misplaced anger at a couple generations of selfish parents?
how does a harshly self-critical alter-ego manifest itself in relationships to other people? Does it desire connections that allow the alter-ego to feed off of the flaws of others
Hey Stef how do I reclaim my assertiveness. I was the youngest in my family & I had be very deferential to survive, now I'm a very agreeable adult.
grew up in a university town, my grandfather moved here to teach...my entire youth was spent with overly wealthy kids of never there parents, weed, cocaine, booze, insane at that young age..
I’ve gotten frustrated with the “manosphere” community. Seems like a green light for young guys to indulge in hedonism & avoid starting a family. No real mention of religion either.
Do you think your view of the world is worse than things actually are because you always talk with dysfunctional people in the call ins?
Why is it that UPB & NAP are never discussed between pubic figures? I’ve noticed just as an average man with some status in my community that UPB brings great understanding and build a foundation for other reality based conversations.
Do you think the move towards atheism and away from the church is not because of “love of the science” but actually caused misplaced anger at a couple generations of selfish parents?
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes questions from Freedomain listeners:
https://freedomain.locals.com
Fauci Twitter files releasing today... We will just find out what we already know but what people will not do is key. So programmed.
What do you think of the term 'conspiracy theorist' from a philosophical context?
Hi Stef! Why do so many people lack any semblance of discretion with strangers nowadays, especially in professional settings? I can't scroll through LinkedIn without every other post being some woman talking about her abortion experience or a screed about destigmatizing an STD they caught. Is nothing private anymore?
What’s your take on people who want to get you drunk or constantly fill your drinks, but aren’t drinking themselves? Is that a way of dominating or making sure you’re “safe”? I’ve had that happen twice in the last 4 years in family type gatherings. In both cases they were older men – one severely depressed, the other was generally submissive to his wife – a “nice guy” type.
What are your thoughts having “guilty pleasure” media you enjoy? I was rewatching Pulp Fiction the other day, a movie I’ve loved for 25 years, and couldn’t help but realize “this movie has no virtue.” I’ve always thought of it as a guilty pleasure but now I can’t find redeeming value in watching it and turned it off halfway through. Do you have an guilty pleasures that you can still enjoy or have you come around on a movie and realized “this is actually trash and unhealthy”
On my flight today a purple hair 20 something year old lady with a full blown gas mask on! Unbelievable!!!
Stef why do females root for the underdog? Even when it’s clearly stupid or pointless? Ty!
Some parents seem to be unable to admit their mistakes or take responsibility for their past actions. If I cared about my children’s futures, I’d easily admit my past mistakes – “Don’t do it! Why? Because I did it and now I have deep regrets to this day and you can still see the consequences in my life.” If you still indulge in bad habits as a parent, the least you could say would be “Don’t do like I do”, right? Granted, I haven’t ruined marriages, abandoned my children or committed crimes.
What’s your policy regarding pocket money for children? At what point should they try to make their own money to buy bigger things like bicycles, electronic gadgets etc.? I know some parents buy expensive items for their children, but some encourage summer work. It seems beneficial in the long term, but it can create envy and resentment towards the other children and their own parents in short term.
Do you think that familial trauma was a result of the violence and trauma of early human evolution, during the transition from animal to something smarter? Could it have been possible in your opinion that we evolved actually peacefully initially, and that some abusive people dominated and threw us all into a cycle of abuse that people will either escape through momentous efforts in self knowledge, or stay trapped within?
Why do people use the phrase "agree to disagree" when they disagrree with you? Is this just an admission that they lack the capacity to form a coherent argument?
Hey Stef.
What is philosophy? I heard you put it in an easily understandable way the other day- Philosophy is learning from wisdom/first principles as opposed to learning through pain/experience. Does this sound right?
Also.. what are first principles?
Thanks.
Your shows got me through the darkest days and have helped me into the sunshine. I'm still in recovery, but thanks to you I'm good & aiming at the "better than I was before" stage. "Thanks" isn't enough, I'll send you the cadillac when I'm able !!
Hi Stef! My husband and I have a daughter who is currently 7 months old. We want to set her up for success when it comes to her finding friends among her peers. Given how many parents prefer corporal punishment these days, our concern is keeping her safe by not exposing her to that den of dysfunction. From past shows you’ve done it sounds like your daughter has managed to find other children she enjoys spending time with. Do you have any tips for us on strategies you found useful?

I think I suffer from an over-active amygdala. I often easily get "triggered" and experience adrenaline release, shaking hands and voice, and find it very embarrassing as it also impacts my ability to rationalize my thoughts. I want to be able to stay calm in tense situations, particularly when I am facing a conflict or a disagreeable person.
Do you have any advice on how to train myself to remain calm? I am frankly sick and tired of trying to calm myself down, appearing weak in difficult situations, and replaying these situations back in my head afterwards. I find I have diminished self-respect after experiencing one of these events.
Do you have any thoughts on why tragedy in art, in the Shakespearean sense, has completely vanished? Movies, TV shows, plays, etc.
I feel in my gut like these tragedies missing from the art landscape is a real problem/done on purpose... But I can't quite formulate an argument as to why.
Do you have any advice on how to best detach from family's shame? I know I've been raised to manage my parent's irresponsibility and shame. In other words, they (and some of my siblings) either couldn't process their own shame and inflicted it upon me or used it as a manipulation tool against me. I'm the youngest one in the family.
Whenever they fail, I feel like it's my responsibility to shield them from consequences or I should somehow help them. When someone from my family of origin does something embarrasing and I get to know about it from a third person, it sometimes feels even worse. I'm working through this issue and getting angry at this situation helps, but not entirely.
I've defooed from most of my family as they've treated me badly in the past and even in recent years. The one sibling I have the best relationship with still keeps in contact with my family of origin and sometimes likes to complain or talk about it. I've asked him not to do that, but I still got that morbid curiosity in me and this topic slips into our conversations from time to time. I've even ignored or blocked some family members to deny them access to me via text as to avoid them triggering me.
I just listened to a call-in show where you mentioned wanting to buy glasses and getting annoyed at a saleswoman for not warning you about extra expenses and her getting extremely anxious as a reaction. Her repetitive compulsion was to provoke anger in others.
But why is it that showing excess fear and stress provokes aggression in others? Is it the primal need to dominate? I've been on both sides in these situations. I remember my aggression towards someone like that had something to do with feeling of power - feeling better than/superior. In the opposite scenario I managed past fears of making mistakes thus annoying those around me.
With greater self-knowledge now I treat others better in such situations, but I'm still struggling with provoking others, assuming they're not total assholes to begin with. I know this comes from my childhood, but why it is easier to learn to treat others better than myself?

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux answers questions such as:
What’s the best argument for why an atheist should be a Christian?
Going to be talking about the Queen?
Can you explain the concept of a social contract?
What advice do you have for Christians who value peace and err on the side of “turning the other cheek”? When should they stand up and be ferocious?
Are you a Johnny Cash fan?
Is a kid having an imaginary friend evidence of dysfunction or is it developmentally appropriate?
Stef, what are the philosophical implications of a family in law financing your future home compared to financing through a bank? The pro of getting a loan from a family-in law is no interest, but it seems to me I’d be losing what it means to own property as a man and to own what you’ve earned. For reference, this potential loan is coming from my wife’s father and we don’t see eye to eye on cultural or political issues. The flip side is going to a bank and paying off a mortgage with interest rate, but at least I will not be beholden to anyone other than the state. What am I missing or is this a no brainer?
How do I deal with self-hatred and learn to forgive and even love myself? I've gained a lot of self-knowledge these past few years regarding the reasons for my troubles but am struggling with years of built-up self-hatred. I'll make some progress, slip up a little, then tell myself I'm a bad person for falling off the path and then use that as an excuse for yet more bad decisions.
After I learned the true nature of my FOO, and after I tried talking about it with them with the expected results, I’ve begun to feel what I can only describe as grief. It isn’t exactly the right term, but it’s the closest I can think of. Is there another word to describe this sickening feeling of “letting go”?
How can you tell a genuine personality trait from an imposed trait, a possible “reactionary” trait from bad parenting? Sorry I don’t know how to word my question more elegantly.
What are your thoughts on the trolley problem (pull a lever and a trolley kills one person or five people)? I made a video explaining why I think its a way for bad actors to endlessly distract people from real world moral issues. It forces you to logic your way out of a problem that was not logically created.
How to effectively fight depersonalization or a weak sense of self? Post therapy, post removing hostile people from one's life. Every time I say "I", I feel like I'm lying a bit. You said that problems caused by loneliness cannot be solved alone, but I feel like there is almost nobody left inside, only my knowledge, which is not specific to me.
If you reject the vast majority of men, here's what happens to society...

THE BEAUTIFUL TRUTH ABOUT REALITY!
There is an old saying in philosophy, which is that metaphysics is not a problem to be solved, but a disease to be cured.
Metaphysics is notoriously tricky, but eminently solvable.
The definition of metaphysics is the study of the nature of reality. This naturally begs the question: what is reality?
Now there are definitely challenging problems in philosophy, such as the definition of ethics and virtue, and morally appropriate actions in ambiguous circumstances, and so on. However, philosophy should at least be able to answer the question that is easily and instinctually answered by every other living being. Single celled organisms can tell the difference between themselves and others, between food and debris – insects can navigate from one continent to another – as can birds – and babies can very quickly figure out the difference between themselves and the world around them.
It is reasonable to hope that philosophy can answer a question easily solved by tiny-brained organisms. Ethics is a discipline peculiar to human beings, but the need to differentiate between dreams and reality is common to countless creatures who never need to bother their minds about virtue.
In other words, if little brains can solve a problem effortlessly, surely big brains can solve it as well! If a six-month-old baby can lift a weight, surely an adult can as well.
The failure of philosophy to resoundingly answer a question easily solved by your average bee has not done much to enhance the reputation of philosophy. The general perception that philosophy is an abstract and useless discipline that has little or nothing to do with practical life is only further embedded in our minds when we wake from a nightmare, knowing for certain it was not real, and philosophers wag their fingers at us and claim that we have no way of actually knowing that!
The vast majority of people have no trouble whatsoever navigating empirical reality – in fact, those who claim they cannot do this – who see visions or believe that they can fly – are defined as mentally ill, and treated as such.
The everyday tools and machines that we use to navigate empirical reality and survive within it are all designed, created, marketed, transported and sold by people with a full and complete ability to differentiate waking reality from subjective impressions. Try giving a child the "idea" of candy rather than a actual piece of candy, and see how he or she reacts. Even a toddler has no trouble differentiating between the contents of a mind – an idea – and something in reality – a piece of candy.
We can only hope that giant-brain philosophers can achieve the empirical wisdom of an 18-month-old toddler.
The first thing to understand about metaphysics is that it is the study of everything in the universe except the human mind. Subjectivity by definition is that which occurs within the mind, and therefore is not reflected or reproduced in external reality. You may prefer the colour red, I prefer the colour blue – the objective wavelengths representing red and blue exist in the world, and can be measured objectively – but the preferences exists only in our minds.
Now you might be screaming at me and claiming that I am begging the question or jumping the gun, because I have just casually tossed off a definition of subjective and objective without proving anything – and you might cry that these are all just assumptions without evidence.
If you've ever played golf, and really worked to improve your swing, one of the things a coach will do is take a video of you, and then slow it down so that you can see every detail of your movements. Slowing down to see the details is essential for improvement – in both sports and thought.
You are reading this using your eyes, or listening to it using your ears. Your reaction that I have not proven anything proves that you have already proven everything...
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux answers question on an explosive livestream: August 21, 2022.
https://www.freedomain.com/donate
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux answers questions in an electrifying live stream, such as:
Jerome Frank says, In Law and the Modern mind, formal logic is flawed and therefore, absolutism is false. He cites some cogent examples from F.C.S. Schiller and some Piaget, saying when a child discovers his father is not omniscient, he shifts to other ideas as a surrogate, to maintain the absolutism he dreams to be true.
He also mentions word magic and that words become bigger than the concept, making words elastic enough to encompass everything to their particular bias.
Any thoughts or rants on any of the above?
I’ve talked to my husband about peaceful parenting and that you have never punished your daughter. We are hoping to start a family in the next year.
He thinks it’s possible raising boys and girls is different, that he was much more difficult to raise than his sisters, and was constantly in a power struggle with his father. He thinks maybe boys do require more discipline in order to become disciplined men. He agrees physical punishment is not acceptable.
Thanks to crypto I went from nearly broke to top 1% (in the west) in 2 years time. It wasn’t just luck. I spent 2017-2020 studying and working at it.
I was shocked to see nearly zero genuine joy from friends or family for me for this achievement after humbly disclosing it.
Are almost all human beings innately resentful and jealous, even of those closest to them? Should I judge them for it? It does sadden me. Thanks.
Hi Stef! How can I minimize the risk of my 10 month old daughter becoming a childless leftist feminist in the future? I am happily married, my wife stays at home, we're into PP and I assume this is a good starting point. However what I'm worried about is the ubiquitous leftist propaganda that she will encounter. Taking into account that the society as a whole tends to be lefty and that women tend to be more compliant I am afraid that she won't be able to reject the peer or social pressure and will soak up their ideas. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
Is it possible that the darker part of myself is in part what has kept me safe in later half of life? My upbringing and past is about as sordid as one can imagine but my latter half has been quite the opposite. To the point where I often feel “square” or “upright”. Or I may be made to feel such.
sometimes I get angry too easily and its of course my fault.
is this the "dark personality" you talked about last Q&A or something else?
Because I don't care for that specific part of me but maybe I am missing something about the "dark personality" thing and maybe its got a purpose to serve?
Id love your thoughts!!

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux aims his philosophical expertise at a wide variety of listener questions, including:
If your definition of love is 'an involuntary response to virtue' and virtue is defined as 'behaviour of high moral standards'. then because higher mammals are capable of basic morality as part of their social behaviour, it then follows that animals can be rudimentary virtuous and therefore can be loved. The difference is that the moral standards of an animal like a dog or a rat are imposed by a trainer, rather than by moral reasoning like in some humans.
In a way governments are already in a state of anarchy to each other. do you think a viable way forward is for people to just move instead of bothering with democratic process? wont that make the governments wake up and start to compete for citizens?
About the relationship reality, you give advice to young men and women. But what advice do you have for men who are over 45 without resources and without children and women who are over 40 without children?
In my experience human beings are hierarchical creatures. We naturally create hierarchies in just about any context. My question is, or questions are, rather, how does/would upb operate inside a hierarchy, would upb maintain or undermine one how would different people with different levels of seniority interact with one another in a family/ community/ work/ society/ &c?
Baby talk. Is it of any benefit to talk to babies in a "baby voice"?
I personally think it's a bit strange as babies are intelligent should be spoken to as such
Could you maybe give us some life lessons on working hard? I'm talking working tirelessly up to the point of exhaustion on a daily basis. Do you have any techniques to be ever-resistant to burnout? (Context: I'm in tech; and I wanna start my own SaaS company)
What do you say to people who lack motivation, goals and purpose in life?
Why do Christian’s sing?
You’ve said in the past that memes can really capture the cultural zeitgeist. What do you think about doing a meme review of listener submitted memes?
what is your take on John Rawls theory of justice? This is what this left use to justify many of their woke ideas
how do you heal significant trust issues from being tricked and abused by a narcissist? - I myself have been tricked by a woman who seemed perfect the first 1.5 - 2 years, but then proceeded to turn into the narcissistic monster she really was. I now fear that every woman I encounter also is a potential narcissist in disguise, as I was not able to see any significant warning signs before I was in too deep with my now ex-girlfriend. Any tips or insights on this would be much appreciated.
With UPB and a free society, is there a possible down side ??
Imagine, _ In 300 yrs, if children were parented well and the Capitalist System worked in a reasonable Free/Open fashion.
Could society then implode because of a lack of abrasive / resistances ??
A lack of opposites ??
What I’m teasing at;
Q; Is UPB a Utiopian Ideal??
If it was ever realised fully enmass _ could there be a huge negative reaction & consequences because UPB could flatten the polarity of opposites and remove necessary resistances ??
There is the Analogy that it takes 3 generations to make & loose a fortune.
My point is, how would UPB effect the polarity of opposites and is it desirable to aim at a philosophy that could possibly flatten and level out society & culture too much ??
_ IE; If you remove the rock, would sisyphus keep pushing up the hill ??
Or would he look for a new object of resistance??
I understand if this is too wordy and too much abstraction !
Is hope good? Or does hoping for a good future prevent you from creating one?
Do you still plan on playing Unreal Tournament 2004 with us? If so, when? Sounds like a lot of fun, one of my favorite games ever! Thanks for all that you teach us Stef.
Would it be misleading for an atheist convert to Christianity to meet good people and potential partners?
if forgiveness is only possible with restitution, what restitution exists for a stolen childhood?
When should you intervene or use force against others? How do you find that line? Suppose we live in a future free society and there is a small tribe or group of people that isolate themselves. We suspect they are committing heinous acts upon their own people, abusing children for example. At what point do you intervene? If they were raping or murdering it might be obvious that they have crossed the line, but what if they are verbally abusing their children? Where is the line between letting people raise kids as they see fit and needing to step in to protect the innocent?
You mentioned a few shows ago how important it is to men be aware of their mating displays (car, hair, clothes and etc). Does that also applies to social media? I'm asking because I don't really like them, I don't even have an account in broadcast-based networks like Facebook or Instagram.
Is this behavior in any shape comparable to not having a car or being untidy?
Hi Stefan. Could you please elaborate on your apparent dislike of lotteries? Certainly, I understand that one is not likely ever to win (practically zero is zero), but if people think they are fun to play, it seems like one of the few ways that governments raise money voluntarily, i.e., one is not forced to buy tickets. I would be interested in what you have to say on the matter.
Does the brain actually finish developing at 25 or is this a misrepresentation of how the brain ages? Thanks!
I'm not vaccinated and am overall extremely against it. I keep my personal views to myself in professional and casual situations, but when it comes to deep friendship, and certainly with dating, I can't get past it. Its the worst timing because I've really come into my own in many aspects of life within the last couple years. And this, thanks in no small part to you, includes wanting a family.
I've cut things off with nearly perfect women after a date or two over it, but I had a thought the other day that had me second guessing my choices...
If its this hard for me to find someone now, what are the chances my kids will be able to do the same? Is it selfish for me to reject a vaccinated partner when my kids future partners at a minimum are likely to be from vaccinated parents? Especially at the risk of them never existing at all if I keep waiting?
(And just to add, I've tried lowering my standards to get more options. They're still all vaxx'd!)
Thoughts on the affects of polygamy?
How do you know if you "lack toughness" or you're just in a really bad situation where weakness and quitting is justified? What's your take on this whole "Man up!" thing? When is such attitude appropriate and when is it malicious?
I used to work in IT support for years and can really relate to your tech rants!
What was one of the worst tech issues you had to troubleshoot at home or in work?
From a Anarcho-capitalist perspective, why does it seem that every major city is becoming an enclave for the rich? A generation ago there were many working class people buying homes in places like New York or Los Angeles, now any city like New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Sydney, etc, $1,000,000+ homes are the norm. How did the transformation take place? Is the root cause more to do with restrictions on housing development or immigration? What do you think the full social ramifications will be? It feels like hurdling into a situation where there will be a clear distinction between the haves and have-nots in a short time from now. Any desirable real estate market is becoming unobtainable.
when you write, do you have a plan or an idea for where you want the book to go, or do you fly by the seat of your pants?
is there ever an appropriate time to cringe?
what is your favorite way to spend time with your daughter? What is your favorite way to spend time with the whole family?
what is your take on John Rawls theory of justice? This is what this left use to justify many of their woke ideas
A couple's revelation...

"Holy sh*t 'The Future' was good, I'm recommending it to everyone..."
"'The Future' is fantastic! ...I am looking forward to sharing with my family and friends."
"'The Future" is the best book i have ever listened to 9/10"
"'The Future' is really, really enjoyable! I love your audiobook rendition, and I am very happy to see more chapters come out 🙂. The characters really come alive and I see more and more how this is the peaceful parenting book."
"I exclusively read non-fiction cause I just can't seem to get drawn into stories. But I can already tell I'm hooked on this one. Thanks so much, Stef!"
"Great book! Just finished after binge listening."
"Could not get enough, Stef is a really good writer."
"Very entertaining and intellectually interesting at the same time."
"One of my favourite books I’ve read so far."
"Spellbinding."
"DRO head vs Noble savage is some of the best content I can ever seen. Debates are always more fun when there are real stakes behind them."
"It's also fascinating hearing the concepts from Everyday/Practical Anarchy solidified, while the world today is just a shadow in the past. It fills me with hope and drive to work for that future and, maybe paradoxically, reminds me what a privilege it is to be here, now."

Dear Stefan,
I wanted to reach out to you as I feel like I am ready to move past my childhood trauma and you are probably the only person that I feel can understand. I do not believe in therapy, and I would like to talk about my childhood trauma and want to figure out how to let go of that memory, I feel isolated and alone and unsure of how to move on and I would like your help in figuring it out.
I am a Jamaican woman who at 11 years old moved to Japan with my mother and step father. I haven’t left Japan since and never been back to Jamaica. They immediately divorced upon moving to Japan and my mother abandoned me here with my Japanese stepfather to take care of me, but he was an abusive man. I lived in constant fear of being kicked out of his house as he was not legally obligated to keep me as I was never adopted. I was living in a country where I did not speak the language, did not belong in, was not allowed to attend school freely, lacked education and kept falling behind year after year. I eventually learned Japanese once I was near graduating from high school but I had not learned much because of my lack of Japanese up to that point and the system just ignored me as a foreigner. At 17 I was told to leave school as my step father remarried and I was told to go live with his girlfriend in another city. I began working from then and was eventually kicked out of that home. Because of my complete lack of education and being illiterate I could not find a job, this has been a struggle, since I had to work hard to learn to read and to relearn English so I could get a job. I to this day live with feelings of isolation as I feel I don’t belong here, the constant fear and abuse I faced as a kid keeps affecting my life and my current mental health and I would like help moving on...
