Whats the end goal of state run education?

Hi Stef, a few months back, I asked a question about feeling a lack of integrity accepting inheritance from my abusive parents, to which you asked something along the lines of 'why not accept what comes rolling down to you?' The other night on a stream, I believe you also stated you refused inheritance from your father. Why did you make this decision?

Hey Stef, your novel The Present was fantastic.
I'm curious why crypto was only mentioned once, is the idea that crypto hasn't been mass adopted yet?

Hey Stef, first off we love you and listen to you daily. Please explain your extulation of marriage and how that is juxtaposed by the state being so involved in personal relationships

Stef I heard Ancient Rome was also sex obsessed, is that a staple of cultures before they fall? Do they get sex obsessed for same reasons?

Why are some woman angry at children?

Dear Stefan, thank you for all you do. Not quite sure if this is a moral question, but would hugely appreciate it if you could provide your thoughts. How does a couple arrive at a win/ win in a situation where one partner wants to remain one child family only and the other one wants more children? It was a hard first couple of years and my husband does not want a repeat of that. I on the other hand see the wonderfulness our child has brought and I want more. Thank you for your input!

How long did it take you to build up a community of like-minded friends?

On Hedonism vs Nihilism

Stefan Molyneux looks into why people who feel their lives lack purpose tend to slide into nihilism rather than hedonism. He describes nihilism as the view that existence holds no real worth, and hedonism as chasing after pleasure above all else. Molyneux argues that actual contentment comes from focusing on virtue and ethical conduct, drawing on Aristotle's idea of eudaimonia.

He points out that dropping one's ethical guidelines often pushes people toward temporary escapes through pleasure-seeking, but these fade over time and pull them toward nihilism. Molyneux also takes aim at today's economy for encouraging reliance on debt and rewarding unwise choices. In the end, he calls on his audience to embrace clear moral standards and consider how virtue plays a role in finding ongoing satisfaction.

NEW PREMIUM CONTENT - On Death and Dying

Stefan Molyneux examines aging, mortality, and questions about existence, drawing from Scott Adams' experiences. He considers how personal decisions shape health and the loneliness that sometimes follows from holding to principles. He talks about the need to chase goals without delay, questions simplistic ideas about disease, and stresses maintaining ties with others amid life's downturns. In the end, he urges people to review their relationships and aim for lasting impacts in a temporary life.
