Thanks for the great questions!
Do you see value in “personality type” testing? Every time I dip into this I feel like I’m just reading a horoscope. Also, how can you tell the difference between aspects of your personality that are intrinsic and those inflicted upon you from “surviving” childhood?
Hey Stef, thank you for your continued wisdom and guidance. You’ve talked a lot about moral virtue, and a line you’ve said in the past that’s stuck with me about choosing a partner revolves around who you want to be with when an infant wakes up crying at 3am, not if you have common interests with a person. In a similar vein, is a relationship salvageable if your partner doesn’t respect your stance on certain things despite an effort to explain why it is you feel that way with evidence or moral reasoning? I imagine this would only be amplified once kids are in the picture.
Hi Stefan, I've been seeing the term C-PTSD (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder) thrown around often relating to childhood trauma but it's not officially recognized as opposed to PTSD. Do you have any thoughts of the distinction between childhood C-PTSD vs PTSD? Is it even a real distinction?
On the same topic, is it possible to completely cure childhood PTSD? What is the path to achieve it?
Hey Stef, any advise? My son is almost 3 and i wanna stop nursing him and i am not sure how to. He is still very much into it but he robs me of sleep and i get pretty cranky during the night. Of course my plan is to tell him and explain why I want to stop, any more I can do? Thank you very much 😁
How did you explain to your daughter why her grandparents aren't in your lives? I ask because I will be in a similar situation. My mom began to seriously disrespect my wife after my son was born last year, which has led to a major break between our household and my mom and siblings. I haven't seen much reason to believe that there will be any genuine attempt to make amends on their end so I'll probably have to explain this to my son when he's old enough. Any advice?
I was talking with my wife recently about what I expect the toddler years of our children will be like once we have kids. I was pushing back on the “terrible twos” narrative and saying that tantrums are not guaranteed and can potentially be completely avoided if you parent peacefully, empathetically, stay at home, remove toxic influences, etc (all of which we are going to do). She was very skeptical of this, understandably, because all the families she has been exposed to parent so poorly and cause their toddlers to respond as you would expect. I mentioned that you have claimed that Izzy has never had a tantrum and she did not believe that was possible and wanted to know what your definition of tantrum was. Thanks for all the wisdom you’ve provided in this area!

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 ...
