I live alone, I can be talkative and people enjoy my company for the initial meeting but I have issues moving forward from that. (Pt 1)I feel people never reach out to me, I have to initiate. I know I’m not owed anything I get what I give but it’s very tough. Especially on my days off I try to fulfill my social needs by going out, to the store; it gets expensive. I lack healthy friends my age (Pt2)Hi Stef,In a last few months I have doubts about having children. Whenever I think about it I see it as solution, like I will be whole when I have them. I sense that is not right. What are right reasons to have children in your opinion? And how do I measure or know that I done enough self-work to have children and have emotional full cup for them?Thank you for the work you do, feel bit bad about not tipping you, I am not in financial position to do more then subStef you mentioned that in the 80 or 90 that you couldn't get a job so you started your company.

Hi Stef, is the ego strength that allows you to be wrong and change your mind the same thing as humility?(correct me if I'm wrong ) In one live stream, you mentioned that if you spend the first 5 years with your child, they will stay with you for the rest of your life. What do you mean by this? Why is it so important for your child to be at home rather than in daycare? Thank you for your response."Here is a quote from Karl Marx, "Philosophers are have only interpreted the world in various ways, the point is to change it." What do you think Stef, should the main aim of philosophers be to change the world rather than simply analyse it.In Romans in the Bible it say that sin is what leads to death and that only through Jesus has we been able to have eternal life despite being sinful. Is there any logic in this?My gf says it is ok to tell someone you require people you engage with do X, BUT wrong to tell them if they don't do X you will not engage with them. Thoughts? To me wording one way or another makes no differenceHi from Finland 🖐️had to listen to Romans speech couple of times it was so awesomeWhat are your thoughts of the film Indecent Proposal where a man offers a couple 1 million dollars in order to spend a night with the woman. It seems to me like somethings in life are only as valuable as you're willing to sacrifice for them. The moment a couple accepts an offer like that, they are admitting that there is no sacred element to their relationship and its only foundation is material gain. Is this true?Hey Stef. Thank you for your answer on your last live regarding setting standards with abusive parents. My wife struggled with why she shouldn't just cut them out until I figured out that setting standards is the best self defence and anger is at their level. Am I on the right track?What do you think the solution is for people to not accept indecent proposals? Is this quote from Paul Woodruff correct? "If individuals turn to philosophy, their lives are changed; they set wisdom and virtue as their goals in place of power, wealth or reputation..." This quote assumes that all philosophy is enlightening rather than nihilistic or destructive. Perhaps a better way to phrase it is to seek wisdom.Philosophy is derived from the word philosofia which is the love of wisdom. What does wisdom mean if it is a core part of philosophy?Is wisdom not the set of things we can do to reduce our suffering?What about mental suffering? This is uniquely humanDid you enjoy reading the Holy Bible at the time?Can philosophy fix a sexual fetish?

In the event of a global financial crisis, Is the United States in a better position to recover since it retains more economic instruments? How does this compare with a country like Russia that has national debt under 15% and domestic energy production, or Japan that has an aged population with national debt over 200%?Hey Stef I’d like to hear what you think on the harm porn does to people and relationships, especially those who are exposed to it from a really young age?Me and my wife are currently holding our parents accountable for the trauma they caused us in our childhood. My Dad has outright ignored me reaching out, my mum did engage but won't accept. My wifes mum won't admit violence but her Dad is admitting he was violent but wants to brush it away. Do you have any advice on how to deal with this situation. Thank you for everythingStef, any advice on dealing with meaninglessness as a struggling student. Thank you so much for sharing knowledge and reason all these years.Today is International Women's Day. It gives me the creeps and makes me angry, and not just because all the stores and businesses are closed here in Berlin. I resent the observance because I feel like it is a case of a privileged class playing the victim. Is the something else about International Women's Day that is at all redeeming?Stef you’ve interviewed people from across the spectrum. From Chomsky to Vox Day. Over the years do any interviewees stick out to you as far as being able to challenge your views?Stef to become an engineer, or doctor etc, how do you think the education path to become an engineer/doctor should be?Why is libertarianism and autism linked ?I saw in Jonathan haidt's work that libertarians have high ability in systematizing, could this be why?
