TO HELL WITH HISTORY!
Locals questions answered!
How do you know when to hold someone responsible for forgetting? When does one genuinely forget something? Is it just a matter of discerning the response from a forgetter when you point out the forgetfulness?
Where is the line between conscientious introspection and navel-gazing?
it is often stated that women are more valued in society. Women reproduce more, men are disposable etc. but why is it then, that more female babies are being aborted? It is also mentioned in "the origins of war in child abuse" that more baby girls were killed as infants.
Thank you!
Hi Stef, have a 20 month old and we're wondering where to set our expectations in terms of reasoning. Since around 13 months he's been able to communicate his preferences to yes or no questions, and at around 18 months began the transition into agreements such as can we play after brushing your teeth in the morning. I would say 90% of the time it works fine, with the other portion requiring more convincing/patience with him sometimes crying to get what he wants. My question is whether this is too soon for this and we should wait until he is a bit older to fully understand the deal concept? Or if there is something wrong with the approach. Thanks again for all your help and everything that you do.
Stef, I have a question about fiction, fantasy, to be more specific.
You mentioned before how this kind of fiction is a way to escape reality. Potentially, a way to not deal with real problems.
I'm a wannabe writer, from a market perspective, I see fantastic universes as a way to attract readers. It's way easier to convince people to read a book about a magic school, than a book about WWI.
Is there a way to do fantasy without subtracting from the message?
I saw what you did with "The Future", it is a fiction scenario. But I would like to go even further, that's why (if possible) I would like to ask you for some sort of guiding principle, so my story will still be able to deliver what's important: moral instruction.
Hi Stef. I know you are into music, but are you into hi-fi? What kind of system do you listen to music on? Have you heard of digital room correction which helps to compensate for the negative effects of the listening room, (Dirac is a good example) or the 'Bacch' system which restores the 3D soundstage imaging of the original stereo recording? Many thanks.
Are Bank Failures tied to COVID Lockdowns and THAT Giant Economic Destruction created over the past three years?

The Truth About Gene Wars: r/K Selection Theory
Stefan Molyneux kicks off his "Gene Wars" series by diving into r/K selection theory, using it to unpack how genetics and evolution shape human behavior and the way societies are built. He breaks down the r strategy—lots of offspring with minimal parental effort—against the K approach, which involves fewer kids but more resources poured into each one. Drawing from animals, he shows how surroundings push species toward one path or the other in reproduction. Molyneux then applies this to people, suggesting that social environments can encourage either set of traits, and he ties it to current political and cultural tensions. He argues that getting a handle on these biological ideas helps explain splits in ideology, while hinting at deeper looks ahead into their genetic roots and effects on society.

I find that I get so much peace and joy from Christianity ✝️. I know that some here might say it’s irrational and maybe it is but nothing else in life has helped me feel so peaceful than being a Christian. Stefan’s show has helped me in an incalculable way as I was basically killing myself before I found his show, but I also needed Christianity to complete the journey. I hardly ever struggle with persistent toxic feelings of any kind since I started praying 🙏 everyday, going to church every week, and reading the Bible. Father Spyridon, a Russian Orthodox priest, is one of my favorite YouTube channels.
