FIRST FREEDOMAIN AMA OF 2023!

Thanks for all the great questions!

I think I've heard you say before that it's a sign of trust to give one's romantic partner access to their personal social media accounts. Related to this, my question is do you think it's a healthy thing for couples to use profile photos that includes both of them in the same image? I've recently been asked by my fiance for both of us to do this for each other. Thanks in advance.

Stef when you worked at your tech company did you develop new products? Did you do customer surveys etc to develop new software? Or what steps did you take to know what the market wanted.

I've heard you distinguish between authentic tears and manipulative tears. I believe the difference is that authentic tears are slow to develop and usually involve sadness and not rage or anger. Are there any other sure fire ways to identify if someone is using tears to manipulate versus if they are perhaps more emotional and not using it maliciously intentionally.

Any tips for working with lonelinness?

Do you think your artistic writing would be the same if you didnt do call in shows ?
I feel like they would give you a lot of material.

Would you mind giving a quick refresher of your definition of moral abuse?

[name] sent a $1 tip!
How can I explain to my 4 year old that daddy needs to work. He constantly say's "Don't Work" and escalates to crying/screaming to demand playing. All of which I can hear though my office door. Mommy can sometimes distract them but is not consistent. He doesn't understand work = money = food/living and only wants to play. Hard to develop software in such an environment.

Is there anything you look back on fondly or almost always brings a a smile to your face (movie, music, comedian, book, teacher etc)?

Stefan, in what ways or skills do you think you've grown or improved the most since you started your show?

Have you ever been successful in breaking a bad habit? If so, how did you do it?

I was recently able to share part of one of your videos w my future mother in law who was a counselor for troubled youth and she immediately started taking notes. She said you were beyond knowledgeable and could see your empathy and skills. She was so impressed! Thank you Stefan.

Stef, what debate do you think you won by the largest margin ? Smallest margin ?
What debate do you think taught you the most ?

Happy New year Stef! I just ended an 18 month relationship with my girlfriend. I’m a man in my late 20’s. I stayed in it for as long as I did because I wanted to have kids soon but ended it because we aren’t compatible in conversation. Do you think holding off on having kids is worth it for finding a partner who is more compatible in conversation?

If a being such as Superman existed how would you suggest he deal with morality and the world as a whole?

Been going to therapy since October. So far it’s been ok. I’m being helped with assertiveness in work situations and soon on how to talk and communicate with my abusive family. (Grey-rocking)
Is there anything you suggest or advise against when going through therapy for the first time? Any warning signs?

When do you think you should learn something yourself and when do is it time to learn from others?

Is there a way to tactfully intervene in someone's shifty parenting? I was at a new year's party where there was a six year old boy, all the adults except for myself were drinking out in the open, the stepmother of the boy at one point poured the kid shots of water. I see the kid is surrounded by negative influences but I couldn't imagine a way to tell them not to do that that wasn't going to get them defensive and get me thrown out or smacked.

My mother thinks it’s ok to be fired for not having the 💉💉💉

I remember when stef tried to calm down racial tensions during the George Floyd Riots and got deplatformed.

Debating in Bad Faith! Twitter/X Space

In this episode, I explore a listener's conflict over circumcision for his future son, navigating the clash between cultural norms and bodily autonomy. The caller shares his traumatic experience, prompting a discussion on the ethical implications of the practice and the importance of personal choice. We also address the need for reason over tradition in marital decisions and expand the conversation to societal issues, including free speech in the UK. The episode concludes with insights on relationships and the value of mutual support in partnerships.
