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?

BITCOIN UPGRADE WAR!
Sunday Morning Live 14 September 2025
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines the ongoing debate about Bitcoin's future with the upcoming Bitcoin Core 30 release. He discusses proposed changes to OP_RETURN transactions, which could transform Bitcoin from a financial tool into a broader data storage solution. As we weigh the implications of increasing OP_RETURN output sizes, concerns about blockchain bloat and regulatory scrutiny emerge. Stefan presents differing viewpoints within the community on maintaining Bitcoin's original purpose versus adapting to market demands. This episode emphasizes the need for thoughtful dialogue as we navigate these pivotal changes in Bitcoin’s evolution.

Wonderful feedback from a caller
Hi Stef, hope you and the family are well.
Been over a year since our call, show 5496, (not sure what you remember so if a run-down of the call helps let me know) and I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you.
I've since cut off ties with my family, who've made no substantial effort to patch things up with me or make amends or acknowledge wrongdoing. My "et tu brute?" dad I don't think really cares about any of this, and my mum has only (rarely) contacted me to ask for specific items she doesn't know the whereabouts of, or just to tell me that I'm not contacting her because I'm being overly negative and not remembering anything positive about the past. My brother did reach out and I shared our call-in with him, he did seem to take it in somewhat but either way, no real difference, and I haven't heard back from him at all in about six months.
As for my ex: I've apologised, made restitutions where I can, and she's living with her boyfriend of around 18 months. We're on decent terms but contact is ...
