"good day Stefan, I'd like a clarification on your definition of 'love'. As I understand it Love: is our involuntary response to virtue. How does that correlate to pets, very young relatives, and other relationships where virtue isn't the primary source. Is love only possible in intimate relationships? What do you call emotional distress when a death of a beloved pet dies? Obviously I'm not equating pets with people, but our emotions seem to treat them similarly. Not sure if there is an evolutionary or philosophical explanation that you can give but it seems to me that Love: is simply an evolutionary response to attachment based on resource gathering to include family structure. Again huge respect to your work, I'm just hoping to get more clarification on your thought process."Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Get my new series on the Truth About the French Revolution, the Truth About Sadism, access to the audiobook for my new book 'Peaceful Parenting,' StefBOT-AI, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022

In this lecture, I discuss how ideologies like feminism and communism influence personal responsibility. I challenge the idea that ideologies keep individuals in a state of perpetual childhood by shifting accountability to external factors. By exploring feminism's portrayal of women as victims of patriarchy and communism's view of identity based on socioeconomic status, I emphasize the importance of taking ownership of one's choices and avoiding a mindset of eternal adolescence. This talk prompts reflection on the societal implications of ideologies that diminish self-responsibility and promote victimhood, ultimately advocating for self-awareness and empowerment in navigating life's complexities.Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Get my new series on the Truth About the French Revolution, the Truth About Sadism, access to the audiobook for my new book 'Peaceful Parenting,' StefBOT-AI, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022

"the dichotomy between atheism and religiosity doesn't always align neatly with a scientific versus non-scientific worldview. People and cultures can reject theistic explanations for a variety of reasons, not all of which are grounded in scientific reasoning.""'The percentage of atheists that are not statists are so small you can just ignore it completely.' If this was a valid argument you'll have problem with anything. Close to 98% of book-readers are statists. Close to 98% of gym members believe that taxes is price we pay for living in the society. The percentage of libertarians who are not in it for the drugs more money are so small you can just use the term 'libertarian' and 'hippie' interchangeably."This is either a mistake or sophistic manipulation.

A sad, sad tweet..."Talked to a young 30s woman today who said her and her friends would all love to get married and have kids but feel forced to invest in their careers because they fear it won't happen and they'll have to support themselves their whole lives. "All the guys they date are non-committal and want to continue partying instead of 'settling down'. It's true they can likely select from a different group of men, but I also see the concern to have your own way of making money in the meantime."Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Get my new series on the Truth About the French Revolution, the Truth About Sadism, access to the audiobook for my new book 'Peaceful Parenting,' StefBOT-AI, private livestreams, premium call in shows, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2022
