Hi Stef, It's been a year since I broke up with my ex, after listening to your show regularly during that time since the breakup I've made significant progress in processing the emotions. There are 3 relationships I'd like to discuss with you that I'm sure will paint a picture for you of where I'm at now. I still struggle with thoughts of my ex and finding a path forward.

Long Summary
During this episode, we dive deep into a caller's previous relationship and the challenges they faced. The caller expresses frustration over the lack of physical intimacy and feeling like strangers with their ex-girlfriend even though they were living together. I empathize with the caller and emphasize the importance of physical intimacy in a romantic relationship. I suggest that the ex-girlfriend's upbringing, where she lacked guidance and support from her parents, may have contributed to the issue.

The caller acknowledges the significance of sex in building a romantic connection and questions societal pressure around abstaining from sex before marriage. I reassure the caller that their concerns are valid and that they are not alone in experiencing these challenges.

In another part of our conversation, we explore the caller's difficult relationship with their parents and how it may be impacting their romantic relationships. I highlight the unhealthy nature of the caller's mother's alcoholism and question why they continue to maintain a relationship with her despite the harm she has caused. I propose that their relationship issues with girlfriends may originate from their own complicated relationship with their parents. I provide an example of how a quality woman would likely perceive the caller's mother unfavorably, and the caller admits that one of their unstable ex-girlfriends had issues with their mom. Together, we delve into the possible reasons behind this.

Later in the episode, a caller's mother joins in a role-play conversation with me, where we discuss her past neglectful behavior as a parent. I question why she didn't seek help for her alcoholism when her son was young and why she didn't take action when she discovered explicit content on her son's phone during his teenage years. I stress the importance of responsible parenting and express concern about the caller's ability to be around children if they haven't reflected on their past mistakes. I encourage the caller to seek therapy and read parenting books to improve their understanding of being a good guardian.

The caller reflects on their past failures as a parent and acknowledges the need for change. Our conversation ends on a reflective note, discussing love and the caller's desire for loving parents. I advise the caller to have conversations with their parents and recognize the dysfunctional family dynamics that may be affecting their relationships. It's clear that introspection and addressing these underlying issues are key steps towards building healthier connections in the future.

Men Trying to Protect Women! Twitter/X Space

In this episode, I discuss the complexities of toxic familial relationships, challenging the notion that family bonds are unbreakable. I emphasize that abusive relationships should not be tolerated, advocating for the right to sever ties with toxic family members, akin to the acceptance of divorce. By engaging with callers, we explore the societal hypocrisy surrounding these choices and the necessity of establishing healthy boundaries. Ultimately, I stress the importance of prioritizing emotional well-being and the pursuit of fulfilling connections.

Sexual Harassment in STEM! Twitter/X Space

Twitter/X Space 19 July 2025

In this episode, I explore the essence of philosophy and its relevance today, reflecting on my 45-year journey. We discuss the importance of humility in philosophical discourse, inspired by Socrates’ acknowledgment of ignorance, and critique the rush to judgment among "midwits." I examine moral grounding for atheists and the nature of ethics without divine justification, while engaging with diverse perspectives on morality. As we address the impact of 21st-century technology on human intimacy, I emphasize the need for self-criticism and rational discourse to deepen our understanding of morality.

I follow the orthodox explanation and think nuking Japan was a necessity. Got into a discord with someone on the other side of the planet. Japan did not follow international law at the time and tried to genocide endless civilians in WW2. Video and images.
Do you guys think Japan should have been nuked?
