Are We Doomed?
In the event of a global financial crisis, Is the United States in a better position to recover since it retains more economic instruments? How does this compare with a country like Russia that has national debt under 15% and domestic energy production, or Japan that has an aged population with national debt over 200%?
Hey Stef I’d like to hear what you think on the harm porn does to people and relationships, especially those who are exposed to it from a really young age?
Me and my wife are currently holding our parents accountable for the trauma they caused us in our childhood. My Dad has outright ignored me reaching out, my mum did engage but won't accept. My wifes mum won't admit violence but her Dad is admitting he was violent but wants to brush it away. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this situation. Thank you for everything
Stef, any advice on dealing with meaninglessness as a struggling student. Thank you so much for sharing ...

The Truth About Sports!
In this Wednesday Night Live on 14 January 2026, Stefan Molyneux examines the way watching sports has become a widespread distraction in society, pulling people away from more meaningful pursuits. He points out the health problems that can come from too much time spent on sports viewing, along with the intense demands placed on kids in competitive athletics. Molyneux pushes back against common assumptions by stressing the value of looking at personal stories, and he urges people to focus on their own development rather than just sitting back and watching others. The discussion covers how sports influence culture in various ways.

Religion Solves Morality?
Stefan Molyneux takes on the notion that true ethics must come straight from God's orders, pointing out how morals drawn from holy books end up being pretty subjective, with people interpreting them in all sorts of ways. He responds to someone's worry about what happens without divine rules by noting that, unlike hard science, religious morals don't hold up the same across the board. Drawing from Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, he shows how followers disagree on basics like forgiveness or following divine laws. Molyneux digs into the past tensions between these religions and the mixed messages in their ethical advice, which makes him doubt whether divine say-so really settles right and wrong. He pushes people to think about their own biases in judging morals and cautions against leaning on religious teachings to back up decisions, suggesting instead a closer look at one's own sense of ethics.
