  2. Question 1: [2:00] - “There is a scenario where a contract legitimizes initiation of force by a collective of people against an individual. Suppose I live in a condo. The members collectively decided to repair the roof. Every member by this decision is obligated to pay his share of monetary expense of the upcoming repair. I live on the first floor and decided to skip the payment: ‘Screw your roof! it is not my roof, I am not paying for your roof.’ What is a NAP-compatible course of action for the members of the condo that leads to a properly maintained roof? (a) in the situation of the rebelling member. (b) in prevention of this situation. It looks to me as if this conundrum might be used to justify taxation.” Question 2: [33:18] - “If love is our attraction to virtue, then how can we know what we are attracted to or why if we can’t even really define virtue itself? Perhaps we can seek a virtuous life by avoiding/undoing aggression and vice, but how does that help in finding a virtuous partner? I’m with a girl now that I can see has problems, but is me enjoying time with her mean I’m attracted to some inherent virtue inside her? Or am I blinded by my own problems that I am still trying to fix in myself? Question 3: [1:56:38] – “My 33-year-old sister, who never had a full-time job and has been unemployed for three years is still living with my parents. My dad is nearly 70, but he's still working 50 hours a week to support my family. My parents haven't done anything that wakes her up. How can I convince my sister that she needs to be independent?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

  7. Question 1: [1:44] – “Stefan did a talk recently were he said something to the effect of: ‘Anytime there is a threat where someone is trying to edge lord over him the friendship is over.’ It seems to me all they have done is revealed ‘Their Contract' or what they need. How can you distinguish this type of behavior between the natural law of ‘if you conform to my contract I will continue to be your friend. If you deviate from this contract I will not.’ How are they different? He terminates the friendship because they have not fulfilled his contract and they terminate the friendship because he has not fulfilled there’s. Am I missing something?” Question 2: [32:14] – "What is the reason or evidence which convinces you of the existence of 'free will', and, if you were to trace a single human (just for example) decision back to its origins neurologically, what exactly *is* the thing which generates an 'axis of freedom' orthogonal-in-cause from all other known (or even unknown, but of which you'd admit to be classically constrained) types of causal interaction, and where exactly does it enter into the chain of otherwise-constrained events which we would call "deterministic"? This, I believe, and if I've modeled your worldview correctly, must be the fundamental crux of your purported difference between human cognition and the mere "data processing", with which you hand-wave away modern and future advancements in 'artificial' intelligence. If you cannot answer these simple questions with the same standard of rationality and evidence that you otherwise demand, then what is the difference between your belief in 'free will' and any other mystical belief? Lastly, if you were to entertain that 'free will' is a bogus concept, then all organic cognitive apparatus would be reduced to very sophisticated computers and removed from the unconstrained will, rather than AI being an attempt to do the opposite; In that case, how would you believe your models of awareness, meaning, and morality, would have to change to accommodate this fundamental fact?" Question 3: [1:45:55] – “I was raised in a conservative Christian home, but as an adult have rejected the faith of my parents. I have noticed that these recent years have seen many Christians embrace leftist ideals such as letting in more refugees while battling non-existent racism. Other Christians have gotten tired and disengaged from politics altogether with a ‘Lord Jesus come soon’ attitude. White Christian America is under attack, and I am angry to see it, but has Christianity not made the West vulnerable to exploitation but pushing a gospel of grace and forgiveness instead of loyalty to kin and country? As white people everywhere are asked to give more of their money and more space in their countries to second and third world immigrants and refugees, does Christianity really provide the backbone to protect ourselves from this invasion, or does it ask for too much grace to be extended to outside people groups?” Question 4: [2:33:29] – “I posit that holding on to traumas perpetrated on us is the logical consequence to the inability/unwillingness to forgive ... the need to exact reparations, revenge, perceived justice (which really cannot ever be actually or satisfactorily realized in the case of these terrible abuses) and to somehow ‘right’ the wrong will never leave us as long as we (to milk the analogy) withhold the forgiveness of the debt. It has at least been my experience that until we stop expecting to be "reimbursed" and move on, our own personal happiness (and functionality) is mightily impacted. I think it would be really interesting to work through the philosophy of forgiveness. What is your stance on forgiveness?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

  20. Question 1: [2:00] – “A few years ago, I began to see a young woman, who I eventually moved in with, right around the time we found out we were going to have a baby. However, by the time our daughter was born, we had already broken up a few times. Eventually we did get back together, but again, we broke up. Early last year, we finally got back together, which was supposed to be the "last attempt", and things were fine for the first half of last year. And then we broke up for different reasons than my infidelity last summer, mainly revolving around communication issues, which had always plagued us. Now, once again, I feel like maybe there is a chance we can get back together, if I were to really pursue it. There is a part of me that wants to be a good man and make our young family whole again, as my ex-girlfriend is pregnant with our second and due in a few months. But I also feel like I'm not ready to settle down still. I still have a part of me that wants to ‘sow my oats,’ so to speak. And I have the unfortunate feeling that we won't work out no matter how much I have this vision in my head of this perfect family. I feel divided 50/50, and it doesn't seem to be getting better with time. What should I do?” Question 2: [1:22:37] – “Growing up in an abusive household with two alcoholic parents I have made most of my life about not being them. Though I fell into alcohol abuse myself I quit drinking and started therapy four years ago. This created a radical change in my life mentally, physically, and socially. Through therapy I had to ask myself this question: If most of my choices have been made in an effort to not be someone then who am I? My life, today, is the polar opposite of what it was just four years ago in a positive way, but I still struggle with that question. Am I truly myself or just a reaction to someone else? Is identity just a collection of impressions others made upon you?” Question 3: [1:50:03] – “I'm afraid that now that I've developed such a very scientific/debunker mind over the last 10 years, totally separate from my faith, I'm honestly afraid to even approach the subject but feel an intellectual urge to do so. To put it simply - I'm afraid to look at it for fear that my Christian faith will go away like my previous strong beliefs (conspiracy, JFK, UFOs, etc.) and I will become an Atheist - which is not to say that I have any problem with Atheists/Agnostics. I'm basically at a crossroads and suffering with this decision on whether or not to review my faith. Is 100% preserving my faith (by not looking into it) worth it? Or is being 100% intellectually honest and risking a troublesome outcome better?” Question 4: [2:32:57] – “I’m a nihilist. This simply means I see no true meaning to life. To have meaning would seem to suggest a purpose granted by something far more intelligent entity than ourselves. I believe, instead of saying we have meaning, that we rather have a function as a species. That function is simply to continue breeding and progressing the species. It’s naturally what we do, as all other animals. Do you believe we could ever achieve a world of nihilist and still progress as a species? Or, must religion always maintain that push toward the ‘function of our species?’” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

  25. Stefan Molyneux will be speaking at "A Night For Freedom" in Washington, DC on February 24th. Tickets are now available, and we look forward to seeing everybody there! http://www.anightforfreedomdc.com Question 1: [0:55] – "I'm a 27-year-old male who listens to Stefan's content regularly. One of the points I disagree with him on is the role of parenthood, and I believe that I'll be happiest if I never have any kids of my own. I've taken measures to make sure that I won't reproduce including getting a vasectomy at the age of 23. I expect to continue living my life with happiness, value, and purpose, and I don't think that I will regret my choice to remain childfree. However, my mind is open to the possibility that I might be wrong. If a person is capable of having children but chooses not to, are his chances of having a happy and meaningful life truly diminished?" Question 2: [1:23:49] – “I’m a 20-year-old who is currently a sophomore in college in the US. I've had very good upbringing with very little to no abuse. My father is in the 1% of yearly income and I am extremely well off. Most of my expenses (rent, groceries, college tuition, etc.) are currently being paid for by my parents. I'm grateful that they do this for me and I can see that having them as benefactors enables me to have more free time to obtain new knowledge and skills, as well as save the money I do earn. However, I've had the nagging thought that by accepting their help, I'm hindering my own potential growth by living in such a soft and orderly environment. I understand that many parents want to create a better life for their child they never had for themselves. My grandfather worked to give my father more resources to utilize than he ever had growing up. My father works hard to provide me with even more resources to utilize than he ever had growing up. Is the transference of an increasing abundance of resources from one generation to the next really a keystone piece of creating and optimizing a great life for the next of kin, or does this abundance of resources hinder the progress of the next of kin by failing preparing them for the real world?” Question 3: [2:20:30] – “I have been married to a man for almost 7 years. I believe I may have entered my gay marriage because of a deep fear and mistrust of women. I found an ease of connection and brotherhood with my best friend that I possibly used to feed my own narcissism in our gay relationship. I believe I also felt an unwillingness to step into the deepest corners of my mental basement to work on foundational aspects of my history. I am deeply saddened that I have stolen seven years of my husband’s life in opportunity loss to find a truly gay lifetime partner, and I fear that I will not be able to surmount twenty-eight years of dysfunction with women of my past to build a virtuous marriage with a wife and children in the future. I have always had sexual attraction to women, and I have dated women, including a largely physical, two-year relationship with one. Please help me to unpack this foundational problem so that I can overcome my fear and move toward the best life for myself, my husband, and a potential future wife and children. I hope that my experience may also be a learning opportunity for others who may be confusing a lack of healthy male connection and a mistrust of women for homosexuality.” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
