Would you expound on the “Me Plus” concept? It seems to me entirely appropriate that my [still theoretical] wife will not like “me” in a pure world-of-forms sense, but only for that which I am and do for her.
In other words, what is the essence of “Me” but a sum of the parts—some of which serve the children/wife/community/self/God, some of which do not.
A ridiculous example, what could it possibly mean to love a girlfriend if she’s chosen obesity, cruelty, verbal abuse; to sterilize herself from ever procreating; and to obstruct everything good about me? Of course this would never happen, but how can one separate loving “her” from all that which she is choosing?
The same, how can she love “‘me” irrespective of what I seem am and do?
Isn’t the threat of losing the other’s affections a great incentive to stay good oneself?
My position: I am a man (early 20’s) excited to be “me plus” because without the plus, there is no “‘me” to be valued. What am I missing?
long time subscriber here, I have trouble not getting down with things out of my control.
My truck i just paid off got totalled by some uninsured guy and the payout was quite unfair (70% value of $21,000 vehicle) from my insurance company. I had full coverage.
This was out of my hands but I still got depressed for a couple months because I felt cheated by the situation.
Any advice from you/philosophy on how to prevent this from happening?
Thank you for everything you do. My life has been 1000% improved since I started listening to you 10 years ago.

The Proof for Universally Preferable Behavior expressed in Anglo-Saxon English
The showing-true for All-World Best-Chosen Ways of Acting (UPB) goes like this:
First, UPB is a frame-work for checking good-deed thoughts. It says right-doing is a kind of all-folk best acts that are true and steady, like knowledge-seeking ways. These acts are not must-do like breathing, but if you want to live or speak true, you must choose them. They stand on mind-strength and world-truths, not god-tales or might-makes-right. Good-deed rules must hold for all folk, all times, all spots—no outs or half-ways. They must fit together without fight, and show in real life like killings or takings being shunned by most.
The showing starts by throwing out bad bases: You can't get good-rules from just living-through, from what-happens-next, from high-sky worlds, from king-laws, or from hurt-feels. No straight bridge from "is" to "should." Begin with thinking no good-rules are, then build with mind-logic.
Key grounds: Deeds show choices (like speaking shows you like truth over lies). Fighting against UPB uses ...
