HEGEL, NIETZSCHE AND THE BIRTH OF MURDER!
I have a question related to my relationship and, I guess, life in general. My girlfriend and I share a lot of values, but there are things that we do not agree on. My girlfriend is religious and soon to be a government worker. I am not religious, but I love her religiosity and her tendency not to inflict that on others. We agree about the ideas of peaceful parenting about which we have talked a lot.
The thing that I don't like is the fact that her dream job includes her to be government worker.
Not sure how to approach the situation.

You use a precise definition of philosophy that may exclude some popular historical figures generally considered philosophers. For example Hegelian dialectic is not a conventional form of logical argumentation yet Hegelianism is popularly considered philosophy. Friedrich Nietzsche uses a lot of mythological symbolism in his writing, which really isn't an argument. Do you accept their work as philosophy? Do you accept the concept of schools of philosophy? What is the boundary between philosophy and other forms of thinking and intellectual investigation? Do you consider forms of thinking or intellectual investigation other than philosophy, as valid or valuable?

You Get What You NEGOTIATE! Listener Questions
Philosopher Stefan Molyneux examines civic participation and the impact of welfare systems on society. He critiques the reliance on government aid, arguing it fosters dependency and hinders personal initiative. He analyzes capitalism's complexities, emphasizing that success is influenced by market dynamics rather than just hard work. The importance of thoughtful dialogue in a polarized environment is also highlighted. Ultimately, he calls for a reevaluation of personal and collective responsibilities to create a more informed society.
Questions submitted:
"With Western society resembling that of an insane asylum, how does one stay motivated to participate? Do you ever have the desire to leave and live on an island beach?"
"If most of your life was a psychological operation, how would you logically assess the moral and strategic response once it all unravels?"
"When is it right to speak about an issue"
"How does the phenomenon of 'working yourself out of a job' fit into a logical capitalist system? A logical ...

Stef, I genuinely appreciate your work and have learned a great deal from you over the years. But I have to push back on one recurring point: your criticism of Christianity based on the behavior of a subset of American Christians. When you say “Christians do X” without specifying which Christians, you end up implying that the entire global Christian world shares the same practices and moral failures. That simply isn’t true.
I grew up Catholic, with deep exposure to Christian communities in Croatia, Germany, and Switzerland. And I can tell you with absolute certainty: no one in these cultures defends hitting children, let alone beating them with belts. It’s not taught, not accepted, not normalized. These are some of the most loving, warm, and family-oriented Christian communities you’ll ever meet. What certain Americans do with their religion—often twisting it into something authoritarian or fanatical—has nothing to do with the Christianity lived by millions of believers ...
