LET PEOPLE CHOOSE!
Hi Stef, not sure if this is much of an argument but I had something I'd like your thoughts on. Some creative writing on my part combined with some skepticism inspired by one of your characters from the 'The Future', I think you might know who I'm talking about. Feel free to rebut this with some creative writing too if you find it appropriate. :)
"Do we mirror reality, and if so which parts of reality?"
"Are animals not a part of reality? And are we not more animal than object? Why then should we look towards objects as a source of direction for how we should live our lives?"
"Contradiction? Bah. Only heaven itself can afford the luxury of consistency. When put inside of a mortal body, I dare say even the sun itself would have days that it would feel like hiding its glorious light."
"To live according to logic and rationality is to try to make ourselves Gods. But we are not. We have the capacity to see a glimpse of godhood, but so long as we need to eat, sleep and reproduce, we will forever remain animals struggling against the hand of death."
"The humble farmer toils on his soil and regardless of how consistent he is in his labours, the locusts will devour that which he has sown."
"So tell me Mr Philosopher; to whom does the farmer partition for his lost crop?"
What is it about human beings that gives them the unique capacity to be sadistic? This question was inspired by my reading of “Survival I’m the killing fields”. Some the things the communists did to people is not something I can comprehend.
Hey, Stef! How do you stop ruminating over people? my family is one to sweep things under the rug a lot and certain members seem to be in a consistent cycle of failure. my mother is an enabler and complains about it but never does anything to stop it. I distance myself from my family and only occasionally visit them because it's usually a very draining experience but I do ruminate over them and I really wish they didn't live in my head. any tips?! Thank you!

Dealing with Toddler Tantrums! Subscriber Excerpt
In this segment from the 28 September 2025 Sunday Morning Live Donors stream, Stefan explores the complexities of toddler behavior and effective parenting strategies through the lens of a parent's experience with their three-year-old son asserting autonomy in choosing the order of sock-wearing. He discusses the natural power struggle that arises as children test boundaries, suggesting that parents can foster reasoning skills by engaging in open dialogue rather than giving in to demands. Key concepts include negotiating desires, recognizing the universality of rules through Kant's categorical imperative, and understanding the importance of trade-offs in social interactions. Ultimately, Stefan advocates for parents to expose their children to discussions around preferences and boundaries to promote empathy and critical thinking as they mature.

Stef- Your tweet about forgiveness was clearly criticizing the choices of a woman who just lost her husband and had her life turned upside down. Of course you are going to get some heat for that. If she had forgiven him in the way that you imply in your follow-up podcast, she would be demanding that he was released from jail and that the charges were dropped. She hasn’t. As a matter of fact, she said that she wants the government to decide whether or not he should get the death penalty. She is letting go of the hatred in her heart for this POS.
The Christian community has not forgiven him. We cannot say that God has forgiven him. But Erika Kirk has forgiven him because it is the best thing FOR HER. Harboring resentment for this guy and seething with hatred for him- will do her no good. It will only effect her- and not in a positive way.
Definition From Berkeley.edu
For people who think AI is “perfect” or it will steal their value in the world…don’t nit-pick yourself to death if the world thinks AI is “better at everything”.
You don’t need to convince everyone before you can convince anyone.
