Hello Stefan, long time fan and former regular donor to the show. I'll cut to the chase. I grew up watching my parents fumble through life, failing at their marriage, parenthood, personal lives, virtually everything. I saw the childish behavior of my parents and their peers and vowed to myself that I would never become like them. It seemed like when I was younger I succeeded at it too. I grew up feeling like I was going to be the trail blazer of my family and I was going carve out a different path for myself, and show others the way. Without detailing the utter chaos that my twenties were in this E-mail, I sit here now, 31 years of age, with a beautiful baby daughter and a wife, realizing, that I am exactly like my parents. In so many ways it makes me want to vomit. I'm really struggling to cast these chains off of me. The only endeavors I succeed in are ones of destruction, instead of being a force for good. My siblings are all more or less the same too but they just don't see it, no matter what I say. I have listened to many call-ins of your show with people in a similar predicament, young men, struggling to get going in life, and they've been valuable for sure, but something just hasn't clicked with me yet. I feel like I am at the end of my rope, with so much to lose, and yet so much to give to the world if I could just exorcize myself from the ghosts and demons of my family history. Please help me Stefan.

In this Wednesday Night Live on 3 December 2025, philosopher Stefan Molyneux delves into the Mouse Utopia Experiment, or Universe 25, conducted by John B. Calhoun, exploring its implications on societal behaviors and psychological breakdowns. We examine the setup and outcomes of this study, where unlimited resources led to self-destructive behaviors among a mouse population. The discussion highlights the relationship between environment and mental health, urging caution in making direct comparisons to human society. We address the criticisms of Calhoun's methodology, the ethical concerns of using animals in experiments, and the relevance of these findings to contemporary issues like urban overcrowding and social isolation. The conversation encourages listeners to reflect on the necessity of promoting human excellence and combating isolation within our communities to avoid the pitfalls illustrated by the experiment.
