What advice do you have for staying sane in these crazy times? Your comments on the “start stop” of the economy and society wearing down on people prompted this question. I definitely feel that weariness and disorientation and was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to relieve those feelings, what kinds of relationships and activities would be good to try since COVID-fied society isn’t really avoidable.

The other day I logged on to a social media site for the first time in close to a decade. I noticed very quickly that many people I grew up with were rabidly posting leftist propaganda. I then looked through over a hundred profiles of people I've known over the years. It was the same. This is particularly startling because I live in a low population region in the western US. Is the time for talk over? Is the end of western civilization near? Should I be fleeing to Poland or something? I do not wish for my kids to experience war.

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.

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?
Hi there!
As an anarcho-capitalist, I had a discussion with my in-laws over Christmas about “taxation is theft” and a “stateless society” that completely got out of hand. Although my wife and I are now in a fight with some of my in-laws because of their over-the-top reaction and how they derailed the debate by yelling and then going home, my father-in-law was reasonable and wanted to know more about my ideas and where they came from. We are going to talk about it again soon. My question to you is: in which podcasts by Stefan Molyneux does he explain how a stateless society would function? I know he has talked about Dispute Resolution Organisations, but I don’t know exactly which ones. And although I’ve been searching a lot on fdrpodcasts.com, I haven’t found the right podcasts yet. Can you give my search process a boost?
Thanks a lot!
