Also, a reading from my new book on Peaceful Parenting!

RAGING AT THE ENDLESS HYPOCRISY OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING!

Why are there people who know that someone toxic has wronged you but to be the bigger person and forgive that person? When Jesus says to forgive, does he mean to automatically forgive or only give it to those who earned it?

I remember the show you did about the bombing of Japan and about how they tried to surrender beforehand but we didn't accept it cause it wasn't unconditional. They wanted to keep their emperor, which they ended up keeping anyway. I found that show really angering.

Hiroshima and Nagasaki weren't in the top 5 most destroyed cities, I find that interesting

In your Barbie review you mention across history women picked men they chose to reproduce with. A (female) friend of mine claimed that's false, that men could pick their wives or decide to live single, but that women were never given that choice. Is there any truth to that or is it pure propaganda?

What do you think the ideological root of “toxic masculinity” is?

You had mentioned that your Peaceful Parenting book was so far filled or fueled with anger. That surprised me, I thought it be a love story. Although in hindsight it does make sense that you'd be very angry writing it. Knowing what happens to kids ( and myself ) is rage inducing.

Can someone have a good childhood and still end up bad? My father says that my brother had a good childhood but he is violative, and condescending.

I'm so looking forward to this book. I love your books more than anything, Fiction or Non-Fiction. Your writing is so good. I can tell already this book will transform me, this Steel-Man is great. It does remind me of The President/Roman.

Can't put a price on the type of parent Stefan has made me. Can't wait for this

Stefan Molyneux looks back at Scott Adams' life and work now that he's gone. He mentions how Adams' creations resonated with him over the years, touches on the mixed aspects of Adams' time in the spotlight, and notes the way he dealt with his approaching death. Molyneux reviews Adams' evolving take on the COVID-19 vaccine and explains his own stance against getting vaccinated, while pointing out that people should decide for themselves.

Molyneux also discusses stress and its effects on the body, suggesting that folks focus on solid character when choosing who to keep close and take stock of their priorities.
