Stefan addresses the importance of humility and continuous improvement. He recounts his own experiences of feeling overwhelmed and humbled by the vast knowledge in philosophy, despite studying it for 20 years. Stef emphasizes the need to acknowledge that he doesn't have all the answers and encourages further conversation and learning from others. He expresses empathy towards individuals who come across as arrogant but emphasize the importance of conquering the ego and recognizing the potential for growth. Surrounding oneself with quality people who strive for improvement is highlighted as crucial. He also discusses the principles they have established in philosophy, such as UPB, property rights, non-aggression principles, and peaceful parenting, but emphasizes the need for continuous improvement and remaining open to challenging one's certainties.

Stefan Molyneux looks at why it's worth talking about childhood experiences with parents, pointing out how these talks can help with self-understanding and ease a sense of scarcity. He describes a scarcity mentality as seeing resources as fixed, which holds back personal growth and broader progress, and he pushes for open conversations about how parents shaped us. Drawing on his own stories and some history, Molyneux moves to supporting an abundance mindset that encourages new ideas and working together. He also focuses on taking charge to handle difficulties and owning up in evaluating oneself. Wrapping up, he urges people to get involved in life, think about the attitudes they've picked up, and step up with responsibility and action.

I had to merge two files, can you tell me if there is any significant overlap?

Thanks!

“Jailing people was an improvement over violent retribution for assaults and murders.”

Would someone mind explaining this to me? I’m very sleep deprived so I’m probably missing the obvious here, it’s just for me personally, if there’s a murderer, I don’t want to pay for them to be locked away, fed, and clothed. I don’t want to pay for their caged-yet-continued-survival for me and my loved ones to be safe. I’d prefer to give that money to researchers finding the cure to cancer for example, not a burden on society who chose to murder.

If they murdered someone, shouldn’t their life become forfeit?

I’m asking morally, outcomes aside (like the real risk for corrupt trials and death penalties for the innocent).

Yes, by UPB, murder is wrong, self defence isn’t. It’s probably not self defence unless your life is immediately at risk, though? So the death penalty isn’t self defence, right?

What consequences would murderers receive in an anarcho capitalist society? I would ...

Was chatting up a woman and texted her that I’m interested in dating. She’s a bit further away but asked that if we were closer if she’d date me. Her response:
“If we got along (vibed), and had good chemistry then definitely”

Thoughts? Red flag?
