THE SELFISHNESS OF SUICIDE Watch the video -
Question 1: [2:06] – “I'm trying to create awareness about something I've been witnessing take place lately and I was hoping I could perhaps speak to you about these issues concerning my university, my community and the perception of Cuban Americans, such as my family. Essentially fellow students, as well as other Miamians, have started widely referring to the Cubans of my Grandfather's generation, those who fled the Castro regime, and their children as 'gusanos' (Gusano meaning worm in English). They have also referred to their experience as 'immigrant light' because their immigration to this country was legal and that they weren't on the receiving end of 'racism.' The reason this is so appalling to me is that the term 'gusano' is actually the communist propaganda of the Castro Regime meant to create a divide among Cubans and discredit those who left. I have had my family attacked on social media for being educated, hard-working immigrants and told that they were most likely Batista sympathizers or worse. The authenticity of Cubans, especially ones who originally fled the Castro regime, as latinos and as immigrants is being questioned more and more which I believe to be mainly because they are widely Conservative. I am proud of my family and their achievements, accomplished despite their many obstacles, so I refuse to have their good name tarnished by today's community that is hell bent against those who are conservative. However, I worry that if I were to go on the offensive on this issue I could lose the scholarships I've worked so hard to earn if my University found out. What can I do to fight this intelligently and without bringing myself down to the whining, complaining nature of the left?” Question 2: [1:18:11] – “In your proposition Christianity is Epistemologically indefensible, are you referring to both models of epistemology: Foundationalism and Coherentism? Or are you basing your proposition solely on Christian apologists that argue from a foundationalist model of epistemology?" Question 3: [2:11:30] – “The reason I write you today is because after watching your video on why the left always wins I found myself in thought about the many times I have won these arguments. Our mentality of using victim hood and whining about how things are not fair is never a winning argument. As men shouldn't we be pushing other men to be stronger and more honorable? Instead of looking at the world as victims of our circumstances shouldn't we be teaching other men how to conquer and not complain? I feel like focusing on what we can't do or how things should be we should be teaching men to eat past it and not worry about what happened to them in the past or their circumstances now.” Question 4: [2:39:03] – “I’m living with a lot of regret lately in my professional and financial life, as well as my personal relationships and political involvements. How can I overcome the pain of lost opportunities and sunk costs, and instead of dwelling on what could've been, use my experience over the past decade of poor choices to avoid repeating my history and compounding the difficulties in life I'm experiencing today? I'd like to define and make a distinction between nostalgia and regret: nostalgia being a fond reminiscence or sentimental longing for past life moments, whereas regret is the pain in acknowledging poor choices that have resulted in a disconnect between the reality I’m living and the reality that could have been or should be.” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [2:22] - “Since heroism is not inherently bad - hero simply means "defender" or "protector", but can be distorted by abuse or manipulated by other's personal motives, what thoughts do you have on how to balance confronting real issues in the world that may require our heroism vs. adopting heroism as a mask, or coping mechanism, for previous trauma or abuse? Conversely, how does one balance withdrawing sanction of an abusive society without "shrugging" out of sheer despair?” Question 2: [54:27] - “I've been living a false life as a woman in an online game and I'm ready come clean, but I fear I will lose a dear friend if I do so, thereby terminating the positive influences he and I have in each other's lives. Can truly moral relationships ever be built on a base of dishonesty? Can lies grow to a point where the revelation of the truth would be so damaging that we're better off living the lie? If my online masquerade has changed me from a lying scoundrel to an honest man in every other aspect of my life, might the lie not be a moral good for the world in general, at the expense of my friend's awareness of the truth?” Question 3: [2:27:24] - “I'm a 26-year-old man who has been working in the video game industry for the past three years. In this time, I have seen the lengths that most mobile developers go to in order to re-wire the neurological reward systems of their player's brains. By carefully gauging and systemizing the level of achievement needed for dopamine release, most mobile developers profit off of this carefully constructed addiction. Is engineering a voluntary experience (playing video games) to be addictive, moral?” Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
