Philosopher Stefan Molyneux takes deep rapid-fire philosophy questions!
https://www.freedomain.com/donate
What are some ways to identify if a person is treating you as a means to their end, instead of treating you as an end in oneself? In other words: how to identify if someone is using you, no matter how sneakily they try to do it. Thank you
Parenting and computer time.... I have heard your view before, that you need to provide your children something more engaging, but I'd love more discussion around that
Stefan, what does Philosophy tell us about using animals for laboratory research? Or perhaps animal cruelty in general?
I'm about 25% of the way through your book on UPB and I suspect it may tie in or connect at some point, but wanted to ask regardless.
My son who's 12 won't stop playing Minecraft. We try to be fun, have adventures but he doesn't want to do anything. It's very frustrating
I’m angry that immoral people seem to attain more economic success than moral people. They seem to even have more children. Your thoughts on living in peace with this?
I would like to know your opinion on how you overcome demotivation on an objective you consider important.
I'm passionated about optimisation and I'm trying to implement the Get Things Done (GTD) framework so that I can have more efficiency in achieving my next objectives and also demonstrate by action my dedication to optimisation and perseverence similar to a sport coach that is more credible by being fit.
I tryed to clarify smaller steps to achieve it and encapsulate it in a monthly objective.
I tryed to change the way I perceive that objective by changing it with subtile differences and adapt it to my preferences.
I tryed to challenge me a little more or reduce the difficulty of the monthly objective.
But it seems like I fall back on my previous objective to be more healthy and fit to reconfort me in the hability to succeed in my objective and take actionable steps. Other times, I advance on my next objective to find a life partner, but it doesn't seems like I'm able to focus on the objective I consider being the most important and I'm kinda working on the 3 objectives without big results on the GTD one.
Any helps or tricks or process or questions to reflect that you apply to yourselft to unblock your motivation and improve your perseverance are welcome.
is it possible for one to have sympathy but lack empathy? If so how can you tell the difference?
Thoughts on how to deal with a manipulative mother-in-law? Should I approach her (in an R-T-R manner), or leave this to my husband?
Why do people take the Lord’s name so flippantly? (Saying “Oh my God” or “Jesus Christ”)
Why do some dads push their sons so hard in sports? What are they compensating for?
how does i move on from friends who pretended to be virtue enthusiasts, but got upset when i took my virtue seeking to the next level. specifically, they were being passive aggressive at me for starting to cut off my mother for yelling at me and refusing to reason with me. when i confronted them, they got angry, said it was my fault, and cut me off
I am mid 30's and got news about 4 years ago that my 'swimmers ' have a genetic defect and most likely will not be able to carry a child to term and high chance of deformity or still birth. I have been thinking if this leaves me with only dating older women or taking myself off the market period. Yes, I am open to adoption but would not feel right wasting a younger women's fertility. I am working so will not be able to listen live. Looking forward to hear what you have to say for myself and others that may be going through something similar. Thanks!
What does it mean to be a good person?
Is it worthwhile trying to wake up my 84 yr old dad to the fact he’s in a cult? He’s been in it for 52 years and completely shuns his 3 kids for leaving it. He has no relationship with his grandchildren or great grandchildren. Thankyou.
how do you make friends in today’s society
When you met your wife, was your income high for your age? Curious on how much men should focus on money to attract a mate.
Why do some people become glassy eyed and revert to telling anecdotes and stories when confronted with evidence and questions? E.g. someone tells me a story of a disadvantaged kid learning something when I had briefly mentioned intelligence
Recommendations for finding a good job? I work in sales/customer service but often don’t find it stimulating and/or gratifying. I’d love to find a job that is related to my values.
Oooo, I thought of a related question. What are some "red flags" that women should look for when dating?

In this episode, I tackle audience questions, starting with George St. Peterson's role in the Russia-Ukraine war and the importance of diverse opinions. I discuss the potential resurgence of Christianity in the West, emphasizing the need to apply rationality to moral discussions.
I explore the influence of childhood experiences on ethics and offer insights on co-parenting with an irresponsible partner, stressing the social context of relationship choices. Additionally, I analyze how welfare programs impact family dynamics and accountability and confront the complexities of free speech in incendiary contexts.
Finally, I reflect on originality in thought-sharing and encourage critical engagement with ideas amid widespread misinformation, expressing gratitude for the audience's support in navigating these discussions together.

"Hi Stef! My name is [x] and I've been listening to your show for a couple years now, my husband introduced it to me shortly after we got married. I've really enjoyed learning about philosophy and self-knowledge and have been applying it to my marriage and other relationship queries. I was hoping to talk to you about some struggles I've had maintaining relationships (friendships) throughout my life. I've never had a local friendship last more than a few years. I'm about to continue my self-knowledge work by going to a Christian group therapy (Freedom session) and I was told I would need a sponsor (a friend or relation) to closely connect with for these group sessions. It occurred to me that I don't have any close friends and no one I could ask (besides my husband). To me that is alarming. I feel as though I should have at least one long term close friendship. My husband and I talk about this often - how I often have difficulties maintaining friendships. I've ...
