Question 1: [1:40] – “I work in a part of the tech industry that is infamous for its increasingly marxist world view. Ever since the 2016 presidential election I have seen sentiment towards conservatives change from a general distrust to an outright hostility among my co-workers and the industry at large. To avoid being ostracized and perhaps even losing my job I consistently lie to my co-workers about my own nationalist views, instead, affecting a facade of general socialist sentiments to mirror those around me. I liken my predicament to a royalist during the terror, unwillingly spouting jacobin talking points in hopes of avoiding the guillotine. Is it moral to obfuscate one's own political views in the goal of self-preservation?” Question 2: [42:55] – “Is the postmodern university beyond redemption? From a philosophical point of view this question is a cracker, because I (feel I) can argue both ‘yes’ and ’no’ compellingly, from an appraisal of the wider situation and my own experience. As mentioned in the question-cum-ramble of my first message, I’ve taken so much from the course—personally and career-wise—that I don’t want to dismiss the institution out of hand. That said, I look around the university at the more ‘SJW’ types, and across the pond at the more extreme American and Canadian situations, and wonder whether I’m an outlier whose subjective experience shouldn’t distort his objective appraisal of the situation.” Question 3: [1:08:57] – “I just watched your last video, on determinism and free will, and would like to debate this from a panpsychic perspective. I came up with a quite simple model, goes like this: 1. I think therefore I am. 2. We talk, therefore we are. 3. Language is refined through use.” “And then suspend disbelief, and imagine how the language of electrons evolves through the ages. What you end up with is a view, where the human experience is the result of a collective agreement. A hierarchy of conscious entities is formed for the purpose of increasing their communication potential. Is the metaphysics I describe feasible, and defensible with regard to current scientific knowledge?” Question 4: [1:45:22] – “I have two toddlers ages 4 and 2 and recently (7 months ago) split up with my sons mother who has helped me raise both children for almost 4 years. To say the least she was slightly unsatisfied in our relationship and the love died between us. I tried for months to make things work to no avail. A couple months ago I started dating a single mom and we’ve based our relationship on virtues and values so far. All of a sudden my ex wants me back and I’m wondering if I should go back for the sake of the children or stay on my path. I feel like she could arbitrarily break our family up at any minute and I really want to talk about this with you.” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [2:11] – “A few months ago I decided to ask a female friend of mine on a date. Of course, she said she only saw me as a friend and nothing more. As a result, I ended the friendship telling her that we want different things from each other and that maintaining a friendship will only end up hurting us both. When my parents found out they were upset and labeled me a sexist, that I don't know how to treat women, and I only see them as sex objects. To add salt to the wounds they want me to apologize to this girl and remain friends with her. I believe that this is a terrible idea and will only result in my heart crushed more than it already has. And if I apologize this will only serve to validate their opinion that I only see girls as sex objects. How do I stand my ground and at least convince my parents that what I'm doing is what is best for me?” Question 2: [1:15:00] – “Given what Stefan says about his past, whether he thinks we as people are just a sum of our experiences? Can we rise above what happened to us as children and if so, what is it about people that can make them overcome those things? Why can some people overcome a difficult past, and some seem to let it drag them down?” Question 3: [2:02:43] – “I am 26-year-old woman and after watching your show I have decided to turn my life around and try to find a good man to settle down with in a serious relationship. I am still single, but I am currently talking to two different men. One of the men is very good looking and averagely successful. The other is less attractive but very successful. I would generally want to go for the more successful guy but I’m worried that my future children won’t be good looking. Being an attractive woman, I know how beneficial it can be to be attractive in our modern societies. I want my future daughters and sons to have the same advantages I had being a good-looking person. Is it silly to factor in attractiveness when choosing a partner? Or is it selfish to not consider how my choice of partner can affect the lives of my future children? Especially if they are girls?” Question 4: [2:20:15] – “Me and my girlfriend of about a year and a half recently broke up. It was my fault as I betrayed her and cheated on her. I am truly ashamed at myself for my actions. I am still in contact with her and I know we still care very deeply for each other. Is there any way I can earn her trust back and salvage the relationship? And if not, how can I: 1) Forgive myself for my absolutely terrible and stupid decisions? 2) Move past this in a healthy way that will assure I never make the same mistakes again and I can be a wonderful boyfriend and husband in the future?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [1:57] – “I'm 28, male and I feel as though I've got low sexual market value/social value in general because of my height. After taking anabolic drugs and noticing the difference in the way people act toward me and I wonder if I've ever been respected before I ‘took the plunge.’ I'm wondering if this is the fate that befalls men like me. I've realized there is no positive word for a small man. I earn 6 figures and live in a major city and yet before my ‘transformation’ I was never approached first, was regularly rejected and was often cheated on. Since I started taking the drugs three years ago, it’s like I'm a different person. I got a fair amount of attention at the bar, had a year-and-a-half long, rocky relationship with my high school crush who'd previously ‘friendzone'd’ me, had my first three-way, and eventually met my current girlfriend who actually seems to value me. I've often battled feelings of worthlessness. I recently began to question if it was all in my head or if people actually looked at me that way. My current girlfriend even once drunkenly admitted that if I wasn't in the shape I'm in, our first date might have gone differently. I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place here. Do I keep risking my health for a ‘life worth living’, or do I stop, shrink back into my former self and go back to simply surviving?” Question 2: [2:13:16] – “Although both our political and ethical viewpoints mostly converge, unlike you, I wholeheartedly oppose anarchism. I believe libertarianism is actually a superior proponent of the non-aggression principal. That no freedom should be unnecessarily revoked, but a very small amount of regulation is required in order to sustain an ideal laissez faire, capitalist, as free as possible society. I believe that the idea of “no government" is fundamentally flawed, because humans will inevitably default to socialism or authoritarianism if no boundaries are set and so anarchy is unsustainable. I see an ideal government not as a enforcer, but as a failsafe for times where bad ideas become too popular, or when there is no incentive to not neglect them. I believe that we need to protect ourselves from ourselves, because we have severally underestimated the proportion of the population that is unqualified, by virtue of their objective intellect (IQ), to make political, economic, social and ethical decisions. Is leaving everyone to their own accord (anarchy) really viable considering the majority of the population is utterly incapable of consulting reason over emotions, or looking more than a few weeks into the future?” Question 3: [3:24:21] – “I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 18 months now. I am a Christian and he is an atheist. We have been able to have really good conversations, and while we don't agree on many things, we have been at least able to dialogue about it reasonably. Now though he is often bored and disinterested in our conversations. He swears that all I ever want to discuss is work, health, and ‘babies’ and he just doesn't care. I have tried to stimulate conversations about things he is interested in, but he feels like I'm unable to contribute to the conversation enough about things like politics, economics, history, and philosophy so he claims that he just gave up trying. Now I have lost some confidence in my ability to be an interesting, intelligent conversationalist. Do you have any advice for how to improve in that area? Is there something wrong with me that I am unable to keep up with him in this regard or are we just incompatible intellectually?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [1:22] – “In light of all the stories people share with you about the mess their lives are in because of how they choose their sexual partners, and also all the information you shared on the video ‘The Truth About Sex,’ how would you, as a father, approach this subject, encouraging your child to be wise in his/her choices and possibly even waiting for marriage?” Question 2: [20:21] – “I am an 18-year-old Serbian male who has been living in Sweden since I was 3 years old. Because I was raised in a Serbian fashion by my parents and not in a Swedish way, there are glaring differences between the basic thinking of my Swedish peers and myself on matters such as family life, in group preference and nation. I am interested in why these differences exist in the first place, and most importantly how they have contributed to the demographic and cultural mess in which Sweden is currently in. What values exactly do you think have lead this once glorious and culturally rich nation into such an obviously destructive trajectory without massive outrage from the native population?” Question 3: [38:38] – “I am a single mum (widowed for more than ten years) living in Australia with my daughter 18-year-old, and my son 14-year-old. I acknowledge the struggles as a single mum, but not as bad as now when my son starts to become so readily to be irritated. Somehow I feel a sense of helplessness - I am deeply torn between being a soft, loving and caring mum and hard, disciplinary and authoritative dad. We recently had numbers of rough paths and I lost my temper twice ended up shouting at him even swearing at him. I felt so guilty and awful and ashamed afterwards. Can you give me your parental wisdom and advise me how to juggle between the role of dad and mum?” Question 4: [1:53:25] – “I have been looking at different ways to explain our current political and social climate. All of the modern woes from single motherhood to a destruction of general social norms have always appeared to me, and I would assume to the public as well, as separate issues. But recently, I have read an experiment called "Death Squared: The Explosive Growth and Demise of a Mouse Population" by John Calhoun. I believe this experiment can tightly summarize our modern plague. My question is what do you think about this experiment and how can we change our behavior in order to get a better conclusion than the rats?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
