Audio: WHY WOMEN ARE SO AFRAID!
Hey Stef, was is the philosophy/origin of penny-pinching? I've been trying to get over it and know it must be in part from my scarcity-mindset immigrant parents, but even though I still save plenty, I'll do things like stay hungry and keep looking if a restaurant menu charges me just 50 cents more than I think their food is worth...
Did you grow up poor?
I feel like you have special sharpness of thought in your recent shows. Is it because of topics or the fact that you're currently writing a book?
Stef can you please share some of the insights of that conversation you had about money with your daughter?
WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE AT THE MALL ON WEEKDAYS?
This is something I don’t understand . If you keep talking about Taylor Swift , you’re only giving her more free attention which makes her more money which only makes the issues larger for women …?
Same if you make fun of woman's weight on social media. Women will flock to her rescue by saying the most horrible insults against your appearance they can think of.

The concept of Universal Consequentialism 😱
A year ago, I presented a different view of consequentialism in this community, which is to devide the concept into rational and irrational consequentialism.
Here's a different approach to explain what consequentialism actually is, based on an example Stefan is providing in his book "Peaceful Parenting", chapter 11, page 153, timestamp 38:19 in the audio book. Quote:
"Since you are all very clever readers, you will be replying to me in your mind something along the lines of this: 'Ah, you say, Mr. Philosopher, that no one can accurately predict the future, but you also state that hitting children has negative outcomes!'
That is certainly true – both that I make that claim, and that hitting children does have generally negative outcomes.
However, we do not judge the morality of hitting children based upon positive or negative outcomes.
For instance, we know that state control of the economy leads to massive inefficiencies – but we don't judge the morality of state control of ...
