What is your opinion about making children share? My daughter is almost 3 and thinks everything belongs to her and wants to snatch others kids toys and also doesn’t want other kids playing with her things. I don’t want my kid being obnoxious but I’m also kinda over hovering over her on play dates to make sure she’s playing correctly.

Hey Stef, how do you peacefully parent and avoid using force (taking toys away, for example) with toddlers? Say, at the ages where they’re less likely to apply lessons you attempt to teach them

Seeing all the UFO stuff means there's something they're tryna hide

FEMALE EVIL

Hi Stef, what if we're talking about information based life forms like A.I. Would they need the non aggression principle if they had a hive mind like state of existence and could minimize conflict below the threshold necessary for interstellar travel?

That is why UFOs, flat earth, healing crystals, politics... to avoid assessing mom and dad.

I used to believe there wasn't alternatives, then I put on the freedomain googles and found a good woman

I sat on couch listening my wife raising voice too much to our children, i was just thinking omg this is the hell, relatively good but still hell

Family story of me being spanked the day I was brought home from the hospital.

There is a part of me that makes me question my high moral standards towards women.

I think about that a lot... I look at less virtuous people than myself and have a negative thought or feeling about their choices.... then a part of me says... "Well at least they have reproduced."
"What good are your values if they die with you."

This has been a great convo so far Stef, It reminds me of my need to live a moral virtuous life, Re-reading Real Time Relationships has moved to the top of my reading list.

UPB

You have previously collaborated a lot with Lauren Southern, now a divorced single mother who says she picked her partner based on values. Do you have any thoughts on that?

Stef, how do you find motivation to write a long novel? I've been daydreaming about writing novels for like a decade now but the sheer time it takes to get to the end of it feels so daunting that it demotivates me. It's like a crazy long marathon and I'm avoiding it because it feels like walking through a desert, even though I really really want to do it.

Do you think society embracing UPB would unleash an age of unprecedented intellectual growth and prosperity?

I finished The Future yesterday, it was amazing Stef! Thank you
