HOW TO DIE FROM PRAISE - Locals Questions
Locals Questions - November 2023
Hello Stefan. Ive recently become fascinated with the life and death of writer Robert E Howard (the creator of Conan the Barbarian, Solomon Kane and other such characters).
He was a very talented writer but had a very troubled relationship with his parents, especially his mom, which led him to take his own life at the age of thirty.
This inner pain seemed to have fueled his creativety and as an aspiring author myself I wonder, how can that inner darkness best be harnessed for that task?
I recently got heat in the instagram's crunchy home birth community after saying it's wrong to make little children watch while their mom is butt naked giving birth to her baby. I personally think all kinds of nakedness and sexual energy should be kept away from kids, but the women started opposing me saying things like "then why are the kids looking so happy watching it?" or "why would it be traumatising? That's where the kids came out themselves too?" and "we should normalise birthing for kids so they're not afraid to have kids themselves" under a video of a 3-year-old staring his moms butt and streched out bloody vagina
In a recent episode you referenced your “complicated relationship” with the word “selfish.” In my youth I stood by the Objectivist definition as completely positive- the pursuit of rational long-term self-interest. But life experience made me back away from that, because selfish people are so difficult to have relationships with. I never reassessed my definition of the word- but have you arrived at some all-encompassing definition of what it means to be selfish?

Everything I Have Has Burned to the GROUND! CALL IN SHOW
"Looking for advice on how to move forward after losing a house in a wildfire. I am a 32 year old man with a wife and one year old daughter. My family all got out safely, and thank God for that. House was a total loss.
"I am now working with our insurance company on a claim and will be working to rebuild. I am thankful my daughter is probably not old enough to remember this or feel any sense of loss over the house. For her it will be a cool story when she gets older. But there was a ton of sentimentally valuable stuff in there that is irreplaceable, like my wife’s wedding dress and a bunch of other wedding related things, probably a hundred books marked up with my personal notes and underlines while I was reading them, and much more.
"I am also thankful to have a good church community and a lot of people who are eager to help us get back on our feet.
This is the most devastating disaster I’ve ever experienced. How do I get it together and move forward from this? How do I keep my wide ...

WHY I CAME BACK!
Wednesday Night Live 18 June 2025
In this episode, we examine the dynamics of conversation and the importance of honesty in relationships. I critique a recent discussion between Tucker Carlson and Ted Cruz, highlighting the challenges of maintaining reason in political discourse. Through audience questions, I reflect on accountability in politics and personal responsibility, sharing my own struggles with these concepts. We also explore the impact of artificial intelligence on creativity and the necessity of honest communication. I justify my return to X (formerly Twitter) and encourage listeners to consider their experiences with truth in relationships. Ultimately, this episode emphasizes the vital role of honesty in sustaining connections.
