In this episode, I examine the intricate relationship between love, virtue, and moral distinctions, particularly in the context of parenthood. Addressing a question from a listener, I clarify how animal attachments differ from human moral love. Reflecting on my experiences as a father, I explore the joy of nurturing a child despite their lack of moral virtues.
The conversation shifts to individualism versus collectivism, advocating for merit-based assessments of character. I also discuss the moral obligations of parenting, trust issues, and the risks in relationships.
Additionally, I assert a duty to combat evil and pursue virtue, highlighting the constructive potential of emotions like jealousy when balanced. Ultimately, this episode encourages personal responsibility and introspection on our values, urging listeners to navigate the tensions between tradition and modernity while embracing individual agency in their lives.

In this episode, I explore the interplay between societal expectations and the ethics of action in an imperfect world. I challenge the belief that we must wait for ideal conditions to engage, advocating for direct action in addressing real issues. Drawing on personal experiences and professional insights, I highlight the pitfalls of striving for perfection and the importance of measurable impacts in philanthropy.
The discussion touches on the concept of a "mystery religion" in modern culture, critiquing blind faith in authority. I encourage listeners to confront difficult questions about their beliefs and responsibilities, emphasizing the need for ongoing dialogue and critical engagement to navigate life's complexities with integrity.

@freedomain asked for movie recommendations on Twitter, so I thought I'd take advantage of my membership and post mine here.
These movies are selected not only for their entertainment value but also for their degree of relevance to the moral philosophy Stefan espouses. They also deal with history, religion and theater—topics that I know he has some interest in.
Double Indemnity (1944): A movie about an insurance salesman who is seduced by a woman into killing her husband in order to claim his life insurance.
This explores lust, greed and conscience.
All About Eve (1950): About an aging Broadway star and a young fan who maneuvers her way into her life, upsetting her personal relationships and career.
A female entertainer past her prime with no husband or children; I needn't say more.
Beckett (1964): A historical (somewhat) drama film about the relationship between Henry II of England and his friend Thomas Becket who finds his true calling as a bishop.
I also recommend these to all members too.
