This clip comes from "MY RETURN TO TWITTER!", get the full show at https://fdrpodcasts.com/5988

MORE ANSWERS TO ‘X’ LISTENER QUESTIONS!
Hi Stef, I've been wondering: If love is an "involuntary response to virtue," how can a parent love an infant? Can't animals display virtues, at least in a rudimentary fashion, as much as babies? Thanks
I believe that individualism vs collectivism is the issue beneath all issues and that adopting a “content of character” mindset rather that a “judge by immutable characteristics” mindset, is the only peaceful and prosperous path forward for humanity. Most people are decent, and if we separated the world by decent people vs assholes there would be a lot less incentive to be assholes. Thoughts?
