NEW PREMIUM CONTENT - Should I Be Bigger?
I reflect on the tragic loss of Iryna Zarutska and the challenges of addressing sensitive topics with depth rather than reactionary content. I discuss the willpower required to navigate adversity, likening it to snowshoeing through tough terrain. Frustrated by the decline in audience support since 2020, I question the expectations for courage in tackling difficult issues amid hesitance from supporters. I urge listeners to consider their role in fostering community engagement and solidarity in addressing pressing social concerns.

The Logic of Spanking
Stefan Molyneux explores the debate on corporal punishment, specifically spanking, within child-rearing practices. He examines the moral implications of using force against children compared to adults, arguing that while violence is morally unacceptable in adult interactions, society still permits spanking. Molyneux challenges the justification of corporal punishment by questioning the assumption that children are incapable of reason and drawing comparisons with mentally impaired individuals. He critiques the idea that spanking is a necessary preventive measure for worse behaviors, advocating instead for positive reinforcement models over negative consequences. This discussion highlights the detrimental effects of physical punishment on children's understanding of empathy and respect, ultimately calling for a reevaluation of disciplinary methods towards more compassionate approaches in parenting.
