STOP USING FORCE ON KIDS! Freedomain Livestream

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 fininshed The Future yesterday, it was amazing Stef! Thank you.

I Had Kids with the Wrong Woman! Listener Questions

In this episode, I tackle audience questions, starting with George St. Peterson's role in the Russia-Ukraine war and the importance of diverse opinions. I discuss the potential resurgence of Christianity in the West, emphasizing the need to apply rationality to moral discussions.

I explore the influence of childhood experiences on ethics and offer insights on co-parenting with an irresponsible partner, stressing the social context of relationship choices. Additionally, I analyze how welfare programs impact family dynamics and accountability and confront the complexities of free speech in incendiary contexts.

Finally, I reflect on originality in thought-sharing and encourage critical engagement with ideas amid widespread misinformation, expressing gratitude for the audience's support in navigating these discussions together.

NEW PREVIEW FOR SUPPORTERS - HELP STEF I HAVE NO FRIENDS! FREEDOMAIN CALL IN SHOW

Subscribers get early previews for shows!

"Hi Stef! My name is [x] and I've been listening to your show for a couple years now, my husband introduced it to me shortly after we got married. I've really enjoyed learning about philosophy and self-knowledge and have been applying it to my marriage and other relationship queries. I was hoping to talk to you about some struggles I've had maintaining relationships (friendships) throughout my life. I've never had a local friendship last more than a few years. I'm about to continue my self-knowledge work by going to a Christian group therapy (Freedom session) and I was told I would need a sponsor (a friend or relation) to closely connect with for these group sessions. It occurred to me that I don't have any close friends and no one I could ask (besides my husband). To me that is alarming. I feel as though I should have at least one long term close friendship. My husband and I talk about this often - how I often have difficulties maintaining friendships. I've ...
