Dear Stefan:
My wife and I have two children under 3 years old. I was raised in a Christian family, but over the past decade or so I have moved away from those beliefs. I now consider myself agnostic/atheist (take your pick, as for me they are practically interchangeable). My wife, on the other hand, is a Christian, though she isn't dogmatic about it. She just prefers to believe in God, and she admits as much. Neither of us attend a church, and the topic really doesn't come up very often. Otherwise I would say our worldviews and values are highly compatible.
The obvious question is how to present these ideas to our kids. I certainly wouldn't want to feel like I was lying to them just to avoid conflict, and I likewise wouldn't want her to feel pressured into keeping her beliefs to herself because she doesn't feel prepared to argue about it. And it isn't just my wif ...
At the same time, I would hate for them to feel pressured into believing what either of their parents believe. I think they're on their own spiritual journey, and honestly I believe that if I do a good job, they'll end up seeing things like I do anyway (at the risk of sounding conceited), but at least it will be their own choice. Plus, having read people like Joseph Campbell and Jordan Peterson, I think the Bible is rich in imagery, and like many other myths, actually should be read, once you're mature enough to take it for what it is.
Second question: 1:22
My boyfriend and I (mid-20s) have been dating on/off for a year and a half. We love each other and want to get married and start a family but at the same time we’re unhappy. He’s upset with me because I can hurt his feelings a lot, and bring up problems in the relationship without much patience. Often I lose hope and say we should just break up. My whole life I’ve heard people tell me that I’m mean or too harsh, and it’s especially a problem in relationships. How do I fix this problem? When I try to talk about it or look at it, my mind gets all muddled and I can’t think clearly. I’m confused about if I’m actually harsh or if people just don’t want the truth/opinions spoken clearly. Sometimes people say they’re really grateful that they can always count on me for an honest opinion. I’d love it if people would speak to me openly though. I feel like if someone were to address my flaws directly, without trying to tiptoe around my feelings, then it means they really love me because they want me to get better, they’re willing to risk my getting upset to say it, and they think I can handle it.

Wednesday Night Live 2 April 2025
This episode covers socio-economic issues, focusing on tariffs and trade barriers, while tackling listener questions. I analyze G20 tariff rates, the implications for America's trade position, and the market response to tariff announcements. We also discuss ideological motivations behind tariff beliefs and the disproportionate crime rates attributed to a small population segment. The conversation shifts to honesty in relationships, the impact of deceit, and cultural reflections on Val Kilmer's films and media franchises like Star Wars. I emphasize the importance of fostering meaningful dialogue and encourage audience participation in future discussions.

"Should a moralist ignore consequence and argue for UPB purely on the basis of epistemology and pure philosophical merit, while ignoring the elephant in the room, which is the question we all subconsciously ask. “How does this benefit my survival?”
"UPB isn’t validated or invalidated by its consequences, but at the same time, discussions of UPB inevitably involve consequences. How do we reconcile this? Especially since free will is in the picture and we don’t want predictions about the future to invalidate choice.
"For example, when asked about your thoughts on the success of UPB close to 20 years after publication, you mentioned reductions in violence against children with the expectation that this trend would continue if UPB continues to be spread. Would the theory and observation that UPB leads to reductions in violence against children be a deterministic portrayal of human beings? If we avoid discussing consequences to avoid this issue, then if someone wants to discuss UPB on the merit ...
