WEDNEDAY NIGHT LIVE! Mar 1 2023
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?

Answering Locals Questions from December 2023 - recovered from the archives!
Stefan addresses the importance of humility and continuous improvement. He recounts his own experiences of feeling overwhelmed and humbled by the vast knowledge in philosophy, despite studying it for 20 years. Stef emphasizes the need to acknowledge that he doesn't have all the answers and encourages further conversation and learning from others. He expresses empathy towards individuals who come across as arrogant but emphasize the importance of conquering the ego and recognizing the potential for growth. Surrounding oneself with quality people who strive for improvement is highlighted as crucial. He also discusses the principles they have established in philosophy, such as UPB, property rights, non-aggression principles, and peaceful parenting, but emphasizes the need for continuous improvement and remaining open to challenging one's certainties.

Why Have THE TALK with your Parents!
Stefan Molyneux looks at why it's worth talking about childhood experiences with parents, pointing out how these talks can help with self-understanding and ease a sense of scarcity. He describes a scarcity mentality as seeing resources as fixed, which holds back personal growth and broader progress, and he pushes for open conversations about how parents shaped us. Drawing on his own stories and some history, Molyneux moves to supporting an abundance mindset that encourages new ideas and working together. He also focuses on taking charge to handle difficulties and owning up in evaluating oneself. Wrapping up, he urges people to get involved in life, think about the attitudes they've picked up, and step up with responsibility and action.

Was chatting up a woman and texted her that I’m interested in dating. She’s a bit further away but asked that if we were closer if she’d date me. Her response:
“If we got along (vibed), and had good chemistry then definitely”
Thoughts? Red flag?
Hi there!
As an anarcho-capitalist, I had a discussion with my in-laws over Christmas about “taxation is theft” and a “stateless society” that completely got out of hand. Although my wife and I are now in a fight with some of my in-laws because of their over-the-top reaction and how they derailed the debate by yelling and then going home, my father-in-law was reasonable and wanted to know more about my ideas and where they came from. We are going to talk about it again soon. My question to you is: in which podcasts by Stefan Molyneux does he explain how a stateless society would function? I know he has talked about Dispute Resolution Organisations, but I don’t know exactly which ones. And although I’ve been searching a lot on fdrpodcasts.com, I haven’t found the right podcasts yet. Can you give my search process a boost?
Thanks a lot!
