How to Lead Women! CALL IN SHOW
Topic : Help, I'm Stuck!
Topic Detail: Hello, Stefan,
My name is [x]. I'm 26 years old and the fourth of five children born to two abusive parents. I moved out over a year ago, and since then, I’ve been living on my own and listening to your show. Over the past year, I’ve been processing and grieving my childhood. Your show has been incredibly helpful in identifying the true extent of the abuse I endured, understanding how to apply philosophy to my life, and learning how to be a peaceful parent. The impact it has had on my life is immeasurable.
Right now, I find myself doing little outside of going to work. On weekends, I rarely leave my house except to run errands, play basketball at the park, or occasionally hang out in person with my Xbox friends. My biggest struggle at the moment is a porn addiction. Most weekends, I give in to the urge, which completely drains my energy, leaving the next few days as a write-off. This has been a major contributor to my social anxiety and inhibition when talking to women. It has defined my entire adult life.
I've mostly DFOO’d, but I haven’t truly confronted either of my parents. I feel like I’ve extracted as much knowledge, wisdom, and insight as I can from my childhood—yet I still think about it every day. And I’m sick of it.
A real sense of mortality is setting in. I'm 26, single, and have few good memories to look back on. I do not want to turn 27 and still be in the same place. Life has been passing me by, and I know there’s so much more out there. I hope that by talking to you, I can identify the root of my dysfunction and learn to move forward in life with confidence. I thirst for feedback, guidance, and an ally to help dislodge me from this perpetual cycle of self-destruction.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

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.
