I Was a Drug Dealer! Freedomain Call In
Hey Stefan, I’ve listened to your show on and off for about 6 years. I’ve implemented many things you’ve taught about parenting and philosophy into my life. I currently have a 10 month old son and lovely wife who I connected with using tactics you taught me and we even listened to your show together when we first started dating.
Now for the bad stuff, I have found myself in a perpetual cycle of disconnection towards most of society. I definitely have a hard time hoping for any kind of good future. I have certain addictions that I struggle with that I’m not proud of. I have a brother who used to be my best friend and business partner who now won’t talk to me at all and hasn’t even met his nephew (my baby). My career and business plans have all grinded to a halt due to external conditions that I can’t control.
I really struggle with how I view life and what I enjoy. To put it simply and directly, I feel I’m still very immature and I feel completely unmotivated to try hard in life despite the fact I have a a beautiful sweet son.
I have deep seemingly unresolvable issues with family members that I think eat away at my joy and I can’t help but feel I’m watching our government system rob and abuse hardworking people to such a degree it feels like it almost pays not to work. It hurts because I struggle with addiction and deep cynicism towards normal life and I feel that makes me a time bomb of a problem for my son and his development. I don’t know what I’m going to tell him or what I’m guiding him to.
I feel just as selfish and dopamine driven as when I was 17 while I feel the world is worse then ever.
I know part of this weird feeling comes from some existential issues I’ve had from LSD use in my younger years paired with being raised in a heavy Christian cult where everyone spoke in tongues.
I feel like everyone around me has some kind of psychosis and it makes me feel very lonely.
I keep wishing I could have some kind of resolution with my family but I don’t see how.
If I had to pick one issue I could really use your help with in the midst of that pile of complaints, I would say drug addiction. Why am I the way I am? Why is it I feel like I’ve lost resolve.

The Ethics of KILLING! Twitter/X Space
Friday Morning Twitter Space 11 July 2025
In this episode, I examine the relationship between personal trauma, substance use, and moral dilemmas. We discuss how many individuals turn to self-medication to cope with emotional pain, highlighting the psychological factors at play. I challenge the notion that drug use leads to genuine insights, arguing it often masks deeper issues.
We also explore the importance of responsibility in parenting and moral education, emphasizing the need for empathy and accountability. Through personal anecdotes, I urge listeners to reflect on their life choices and strive for deeper connections. This conversation invites engagement with the complexities of drug use and morality, advocating for an understanding of human growth and redemption.

How to Love Anxiety! Twitter/X Space
Twitter Space 24 July 2025
In this episode, I critically examine the philosophical ideas of Alan Watts, questioning the relevance of his insights on anxiety, childhood, and personal responsibility. I challenge Watts’ assertion that anxiety is unproductive, arguing instead that it can serve as a vital catalyst for action and survival, much as it did for our ancestors. The discussion encourages listeners to reflect on the importance of embracing anxiety rather than suppressing it, particularly in the context of personal growth and financial stability. By exploring the societal implications of anxiety, especially among women, I invite the audience to consider how their values and choices impact their lives. Ultimately, this episode offers a nuanced perspective on the relationship between anxiety and proactive living, emphasizing that channeling our worries can lead to meaningful engagement and reduce regret.
