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 Truth About Mouse Utopia!
In this Wednesday Night Live on 3 December 2025, philosopher Stefan Molyneux delves into the Mouse Utopia Experiment, or Universe 25, conducted by John B. Calhoun, exploring its implications on societal behaviors and psychological breakdowns. We examine the setup and outcomes of this study, where unlimited resources led to self-destructive behaviors among a mouse population. The discussion highlights the relationship between environment and mental health, urging caution in making direct comparisons to human society. We address the criticisms of Calhoun's methodology, the ethical concerns of using animals in experiments, and the relevance of these findings to contemporary issues like urban overcrowding and social isolation. The conversation encourages listeners to reflect on the necessity of promoting human excellence and combating isolation within our communities to avoid the pitfalls illustrated by the experiment.
