"My Child Keeps Going to the Dark Side!" Call In
"You've spoken with me before, and it helped so much. I just was itching to talk with you one more time about my own children, because before we spoke about my family of origin.
"So, my daughter is eight years old. She's a wonderful girl, super fun and creative and goofy... but she has what I'll call 'dark mode,' where it's a lot of negative behaviors, panic attacks, screaming, expressing feelings of worthlessness. It's just... it's terrible. It's terrible for her. It's terrible to experience.
"I'm worried about what you say sometimes, that adage about, by seven years old, someone's personality is sort of set for life.
"So, what I'm hoping to get out of the conversation is, what what did I do to create this dark mode? What I'm doing to try and repair it, if that's enough? I'd like to get your perspective on everything that I've done as a parent and how I can be better at it.
"Another part that of this that really terrifies me is that my my own sister, at seven years old, there's this family story about how she ran away for the afternoon. When my parents found her, she was screaming and raging at them, telling my parents to kill her! My parents kind of tell it as just, 'Well, we don't know what what happened!' and they never did anything for her. Her life has turned out by her own estimation, she's just a wreck and we have like zero relationship now. To see that same thing echoing in my own daughter is just: 'Ahh! I need to do something!'"

Did I Betray Myself Over Covid? Facebook Questions
"Do you think a politician, say, the president of a country, could help to foster a transition to a stateless society?"
"How do you think the deportation of illegals will go about when Trump takes office?"
"Who are your favourite fictional characters"
"If you could invent 1 product that you believe would make the government less important, what would you invent? I know the government is not necessary now, but people believe it is, what product would make that belief less reasonable."
"I enjoyed your video on inflation in the Roman Empire. The watering down of coins.
"What in your opinion is causing inflation now in the west? Is it similar to antiquity? Printing money?
"Thank you."
"Correct me if wrong. The moment you stopped covering politics was when Trump approved a massive spending bill early in his first term. Pretending I wrote this in the format of a question"
"Is there such a thing as 'rights'?"
"Is this really you?"
"Are women fertile in 2024?"
"Thoughts on asset allocation towards large cap value or growth stocks."

I Can't Find a Good Woman! Listener Questions
In this episode, we tackle listener questions on parenting, emotional health, and relationships. I reflect on the ethics of recording personal moments with my daughter Izzy, discuss the "cry it out" sleep training method and its emotional implications, and critique a listener's matchmaking experience that prioritized altering preferences over genuine connection.
We also explore the fine line in peer banter, the importance of moral clarity in dating after 50, and the challenge of discovering passions in one’s late 20s. Lastly, I address nurturing resilience in children facing adversity and the effects of early family dynamics on insecurity. This episode highlights the need for empathy and self-reflection in our interactions.

My show from 2006 on global warming...
Back when I had to use 40k/s because bandwidth was so expensive!
I just wanted to thank @freedomain and his recent podcast discussing how people talk a lot but rarely accomplish dreams. He cited how people dream of writing a book or making sourdough as examples.
Ironically, my wife has just done a deep dive on making sourdough and has been making it regularly this year.
As for me, after 10 years, I finally started writing a historical fiction book on my grandmother’s life that I became engrossed in once more over the holidays. I even had the opportunity to visit a place she lived in Europe last year!
I’m currently working on Chapter 3 and my girls are loving hearing the story as I go! Now that I’ve tackled my roadblocks, have a better process, and motivation from my girls, it’s been an enjoyable journey thus far!
As an aside, I’ve named the blacksmith Stefan in my Ukrainian village in honour of a philosopher I know.
Thanks again, Stef, and all the best!
Dear Stefan, I would like to say I'm sorry.
I've only just become aware of my behaviour.
I'm posting grenades under anonymity - on your channel. After knowing your fight for the truth cost you a billion dollars, literally. Why would I bring you any more political heat? Your bunker time is so appreciated.
You've repeatedly told us you've moved away from politics and then I go and post a grenade about politics; that's not reading the room; sorry Stef.
I will no longer post grenades anywhere on social media until I'm ready to use my real name and photo.
I've been a listener since 2015 and heard all; thanks for the education which allows me to sound intelligent. GOAT philosophy.
Thank you for everything.
