Twitter Space 3: How to Protect Your Children!
Third Twitter Space! Friday 20 June 2025
In this episode, I examine the themes of self-awareness and responsibility, urging listeners to reflect on their willingness to admit faults. Using Shakespeare's "Hamlet" as a backdrop, I discuss the importance of questioning established beliefs and the balance between self-doubt and self-assurance. I also share insights from a discussion on the "Bronze Age Mindset," contrasting Nietzschean vitality with ethical frameworks in relationships. The conversation invites deeper exploration of masculinity, femininity, and societal narratives, advocating for character integrity and resilience in navigating moral complexities and fostering healthy connections.

Kant VS UPB
Kant is nearly incomprehensible, but my understanding of the rationale for his Categorical Imperative is:
If there exists an "ought" that applies to all persons and actions in all places at all times, then this universal "ought" (categorical imperative) must be universalizable, by definition. Therefore all actions must conform to the principle of universalizability.
Thus his first formulation of the CI: "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law."
How is this not UPB?
Stefbot did not help, so I watched the Big, Chatty Forehead himself: https://freedomain.locals.com/upost/2634493/an-introduction-to-ontological-morality-kant-vs-upb to find out, but found no adequate explanation.
Stef's arguments are:
1 - Kant is a hypocrite for exempting the state from the CI.
But, by Stef's admission, this is not an argument.
2 - Kant doesn't answer the question "why be good?".
But he does. The answer is because you are a rational agent. To ...
NEW PREVIEW FOR SUPPORTERS - Solitude is Driving Me Crazy! CALL IN SHOW
Subscribers get early previews for shows!
The episode offers an in-depth interview between Stefan and a 23-year-old caller struggling with feelings of emptiness post-conversion to Catholicism. The discussion reveals the caller's affluent but isolating upbringing, marked by the early death of his mother and the pressures to excel academically in music. The pandemic exacerbated his challenges, leading to a breakdown and withdrawal from music school. The conversation explores his anxiety, social awkwardness, particularly in romantic contexts, and his complex family dynamics, where differing ideological views have further isolated him. Stefan encourages the caller to reframe his perceptions of relationships and mental health, promoting social engagement as a means to combat isolation. The episode underscores the interplay between personal history, mental health, and the necessity of community and connections in overcoming feelings of purposelessness.
