Hello Stefan,
I'm panicking. Hearing you talk about the man in his 40s watching television with his mother has hit at something pretty deep inside me. I'm 30 and i'm just really realizing that i could be late for a lot of things - I've only ever had one girlfriend, i don't have any friends or any kind of support group that i can be close to or confide in, i'm earning just below £20k a year, and i'm in a position where i'm not convinced that i have any marketable skills to offer. I graduated from a top university 7 years ago with a poor grade, and that took me 5 years to do, and the first job i took after university was a waitering position. After three years, I moved onto my current position, an abysmal admin role. I find myself saying a lot of really demoralizing things that my parents said to themselves: "I'm too old for this", "It's too late for me to start this activity or learn this skill", "I'm alone." I've always thought of my father as being all talk and wildly overestimating his abilities - and after last night's livestream, I've suddenly realized that I might well be deeply mired in the same behaviour, and i'm astonished and extremely worried how subtly I've managed to live this way, and how much in plain sight it has always been all this time. I woke up this morning with a deeply depressed, sinking feeling that finally culminated in what seems to be a panic attack. I may have really ruined my life. I think there's a creeping and crippling nihilism that's overwhelming me; i'm fast losing hope. I'm panicking about getting to the point where i can't change course and all my demoralizing thoughts are set in stone, and i end up living the lives of my parents - if not worse, seeing how i believe i'm more capable than they were and with access to greater opportunities than they had. Is it too late to be incredibly ambitious? Is it too late to even get started?

Stefan Molyneux kicks off his "Gene Wars" series by diving into r/K selection theory, using it to unpack how genetics and evolution shape human behavior and the way societies are built. He breaks down the r strategy—lots of offspring with minimal parental effort—against the K approach, which involves fewer kids but more resources poured into each one. Drawing from animals, he shows how surroundings push species toward one path or the other in reproduction. Molyneux then applies this to people, suggesting that social environments can encourage either set of traits, and he ties it to current political and cultural tensions. He argues that getting a handle on these biological ideas helps explain splits in ideology, while hinting at deeper looks ahead into their genetic roots and effects on society.

I find that I get so much peace and joy from Christianity ✝️. I know that some here might say it’s irrational and maybe it is but nothing else in life has helped me feel so peaceful than being a Christian. Stefan’s show has helped me in an incalculable way as I was basically killing myself before I found his show, but I also needed Christianity to complete the journey. I hardly ever struggle with persistent toxic feelings of any kind since I started praying 🙏 everyday, going to church every week, and reading the Bible. Father Spyridon, a Russian Orthodox priest, is one of my favorite YouTube channels.
