Long Summary
In this episode, we delve into various topics and conversations. We start by discussing the trend of younger women shaming their husbands over emotional load and labor, viewing it as a form of self-victimization from feminists. We explore the idea that everyone faces a choice between adding value in a specific area or being better than someone else, with some overlap between the two. The speaker emphasizes the vanity and entitlement of young, attractive women who prioritize looks over character.
Next, we shift to discussing the perception that younger men are nicer and more polite due to their less aggressive pursuit of women. The speaker values individuals who have earned their social standing through hard work rather than inherited wealth and criticizes those who waste their inherited money. We also reflect on childhood experiences and the different representations of femininity observed, specifically mentioning TikTok videos where women showcase their superiority over their husbands.
The conversation then takes a turn towards the topic of suicide and the differing opinions on considering it a valid option for those enduring suffering. The speaker strongly disagrees with this idea, highlighting that life is meant to be a journey with challenges and hardships that lead to growth and fulfillment. They argue against skipping the process and expecting instant gratification, asserting that true fulfillment is earned through dedication and perseverance. The nihilistic nature of such thinking is examined, and the negative consequences of not helping individuals with their problems are discussed.
The speaker expresses their concern about self-inflicted conflicts leading to divorce and the resulting negative effects on society. They believe in helping others improve and peacefully raise their children. The conversation then moves onto discussing a dream the speaker had about having a baby and their longing for the joy and connection it would bring. They encourage others to pursue their desire to have children, despite potential excuses or financial concerns, drawing from their own family history under a totalitarian regime.
The episode continues with a reflection on managing time efficiently and avoiding wasting it on frivolous activities. The speaker acknowledges the importance of leisure but emphasizes the need to prioritize personal and economic growth. They also address the criticism of focusing too much on personal problems in the show, explaining the value of call-in shows and the insights gained from discussing issues rooted in childhood abuse or neglect.
The connection between verbal aggression, manipulation, and aggressive parenting is highlighted, with the speaker expressing their preference for helping those who seek guidance and insights. They criticize dismissive attitudes towards others' suffering and stress the importance of extending support to individuals who want to change dysfunctional behaviors.
Lastly, the episode concludes with a call to avoid wasting time and find closure on childhood issues. The speaker encourages listeners to approach life with the seriousness of children, emphasizing the need for self-improvement, maturity, and adulthood. They express their gratitude for support and offer donation and community joining options.

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 ...
