PRIVATE ONE ON ONE WITH STEFAN MOLYNEUX!
Stefan Molyneux is now offering private one-on-one consultations for business, personal, morality, parental or philosophical issues.
"I'm a long-time Freedomain listener, and have previously done two public call-ins with Stef. He is in-person just as he seems on the show- kind, empathetic, engaged, brutally honest and jaw-droppingly insightful. I recently decided to do a paid private call-in, because the one frustration I had before was the difficulty in self-censoring myself and not being able to explain things fully. Not so with the private call-in! The other calls were productive, but this one was next level. I had my husband on the call as well, and being able to speak freely helped our thoughts flow and get to the meat of things. We have so much to talk about now, and as painful as it is to grind through some of these ideas, we know it will lead to a better and happier family life for us and our kids. On the path to self-knowledge, Stef's insights are like a catapult launching you leagues ahead. You cover a lot of ground, and although the impact can hurt at times, you never want to go back. If you truly want a deeper and richer life, and you're willing to shine a spotlight into all the shadowy caverns of your mind and soul, call Stef. It's certainly the best money I've ever spent."

Why Have THE TALK with your Parents!
Stefan Molyneux looks at why it's worth talking about childhood experiences with parents, pointing out how these talks can help with self-understanding and ease a sense of scarcity. He describes a scarcity mentality as seeing resources as fixed, which holds back personal growth and broader progress, and he pushes for open conversations about how parents shaped us. Drawing on his own stories and some history, Molyneux moves to supporting an abundance mindset that encourages new ideas and working together. He also focuses on taking charge to handle difficulties and owning up in evaluating oneself. Wrapping up, he urges people to get involved in life, think about the attitudes they've picked up, and step up with responsibility and action.

The Ethics of Starving
Stefan Molyneux looks at the ethical issues around "necessary evils" by drawing on real-world examples. He asks if unethical steps can ever be justified in dire cases, such as to save a life. He critiques how AI shapes media stories, digs into property rights during crises, and raises questions about whether someone might steal medicine to help a dying family member. Molyneux points out that weakening property rights discourages new developments and brings unseen wider harms. He pushes for considering ethical problems in their full context and stresses the role of individual accountability and group support in dealing with underlying poverty.

NEW PREMIUM CONTENT - The Best Kind of Art!
Stefan Molyneux examines Bitcoin's price swings and how ETFs can provide stability for wary investors, while noting his own indifference to daily fluctuations. He addresses fraud within certain communities, focusing on a documentary about daycare practices in Minnesota, and criticizes the government's varying responses across demographics.
He contrasts the unpredictable plots in Asian cinema with Hollywood's more formulaic approach, exploring how cultural expectations influence artistic choices. Turning to works like The Great Gatsby and 1984, he considers ideological effects on literature and the links between storytelling and ethics. He ends with a discussion on narrative predictability and societal influences on creativity.

Hi there!
As an anarcho-capitalist, I had a discussion with my in-laws over Christmas about “taxation is theft” and a “stateless society” that completely got out of hand. Although my wife and I are now in a fight with some of my in-laws because of their over-the-top reaction and how they derailed the debate by yelling and then going home, my father-in-law was reasonable and wanted to know more about my ideas and where they came from. We are going to talk about it again soon. My question to you is: in which podcasts by Stefan Molyneux does he explain how a stateless society would function? I know he has talked about Dispute Resolution Organisations, but I don’t know exactly which ones. And although I’ve been searching a lot on fdrpodcasts.com, I haven’t found the right podcasts yet. Can you give my search process a boost?
Thanks a lot!
