Question My Integrity?!?
"In the last couple of weeks, you have repeatedly reiterated your stance that you don't believe in a soul or any other sort of divine essence that could be "dug out" or set free and give people the ability to change. Yet empirical evidence shows that you spend an enormous amount of time talking to people attempting to do just that — showing them the parts of themselves that have been hurt and giving them the tools to protect and nurture those parts in order to heal and improve their lives. You have also repeatedly used phrases such as "selling your soul to the devil", "soul murder", etc.
"Isn't that evidence that you actually DO believe in a soul (even if perhaps it is not immortal and can be damaged beyond repair or somehow sold for material profit) or some similar construct? Because otherwise, it would seem to imply that all of your work is merely entertainment..."
"Hi Stefan, thanks for the forum and time you give to the community, you’ve helped tremendously over the years. I’ll do my best to support more of your good works when I’m financially better able. Onwards, my question is what constitutes a genuine or acceptable apology from a parent to a child regarding verbal and physical abuse sustained during the childhood? for example hypothetically would a simple “I’m sorry” cover it? if genuine or would you see it necessary for a more detailed and context based apology? If this has been asked and answered before, feel free to skip if so, and thanks again!"
"Hi Stef, I’ve been thinking recently about the idea of living a life guided by rational and moral principles at which point the question emerges. What does it mean to be rational? I think you have done some great work on elaborating on what it means to be moral, but I still find myself unsure about rationality (perhaps due to my lack of research).
"As such here is my question. Is it rational for parents to hit their children? If rationality is seen as behaving in such a way that you make a perceived outcome more likely, are parents acting rationally in this case? If what they want is their children’s obedience, or to socialise their children to be able to fit into the world as it is, is it irrational for them to hit their children?"

The Charlie Kirk Suspect Arrested!
In this X Space, philosopher Stefan Molyneux investigates the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University, analyzing the implications and motivations behind the act. Stefan reflects on Kirk's qualities and the profound impact of his loss, while discussing the current polarization in political discourse. Examining the alleged shooter, Tyler Robinson, Stefan considers the influences that may have led to this violence and the role of social media in exacerbating ideological conflicts. He concludes with a call for introspection and a return to civility in our discussions.

Wonderful feedback from a caller
Hi Stef, hope you and the family are well.
Been over a year since our call, show 5496, (not sure what you remember so if a run-down of the call helps let me know) and I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you.
I've since cut off ties with my family, who've made no substantial effort to patch things up with me or make amends or acknowledge wrongdoing. My "et tu brute?" dad I don't think really cares about any of this, and my mum has only (rarely) contacted me to ask for specific items she doesn't know the whereabouts of, or just to tell me that I'm not contacting her because I'm being overly negative and not remembering anything positive about the past. My brother did reach out and I shared our call-in with him, he did seem to take it in somewhat but either way, no real difference, and I haven't heard back from him at all in about six months.
As for my ex: I've apologised, made restitutions where I can, and she's living with her boyfriend of around 18 months. We're on decent terms but contact is ...
