Stefan questions the caller's decisions and actions, prompting reflection on emotional turmoil and seeking advice on personal growth amidst complex relationships. The caller navigates his journey from a church upbringing to managing his wife's OnlyFans account, grappling with identity as a wayward Christian and confronting marriage challenges.

Personal responsibility is emphasized, urging the caller to explore motivations, embrace virtuous actions, and lead a more ethical life through self-reflection and accountability.
The caller's request follows:
"URGENT - Choosing my GF or formerly unfaithful wife and 4 kids
"I had previously called you within 8 hours of discovering my wife's infidelity while I was in 4th year of medical school back in 2020. In just a few sentences, you reminded me that she did NOT initiate force against me, and thus, I am bound by the NAP if it truly is a value I espouse. I put the weapon away, had my SIL watch the kids, and over the next few years, worked my way through recovery.
"I went on a rampage with learning from dating coaches and joining a men's cult, which would eventually result in my resignation from medical residency due to professionalism issues. I was running my wife's solo OnlyFans and tripled my salary in the first month so I thought it was dumb to continue in medicine.
"After attending an event in Colombia, I started a relationship with a very attractive young woman and began hyperfocusing on her, spending 80% of my time in Colombia and 20% with my family. This woman did not know about my family at first and after 2 months, she discovered the truth and I weaseled my way into maintaining the situation, even briefly moving EVERYONE together in the same penthouse while I tried to scale an advertising agency (which failed miserably). I have been torturing both of these women with dreams of a bright future for TWO YEARS, and only recently have woken up from the haze of my hypomania and psychopathy.
"I am with my family for two more weeks before I likely make my final decision - if these women would even put up with me in the mean time. I am choosing between my reformed wife and 4 small children, living with my mother-in-law and rightly receiving smack talk nearly daily - or my Colombian girlfriend who is comparatively more profitable, obviously more attractive, and the lifestyle where I could possibly make a comeback at the expense of the formative years of my children. And yes, I would like to have children with her if I choose her, despite the hypocrisy in abandoning the 4 that I already have.
"Roast me brother. I need it."

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 ...
