In this episode, I address a listener's inquiry about universal morality and the challenges of engaging with politicians who often undermine this principle. I critique the duality of political figures masking self-interest behind a facade of moral authority, comparing them to predators in nature. The discussion explores the difficulties of managing violent or deceitful individuals within communities, suggesting strategies like ostracism and confinement while recognizing their ethical complexities. I underscore the need for clear boundaries and accountability, asserting that true engagement relies on shared values of reason and respect, prompting listeners to reflect on morality and authority in a complex world.

Philosopher Stefan Molyneux tackles listener questions from Facebook! "I've been procrastinating and stuck in the past for 19 years and can't stand the aging process. What can be done?" "Was Plato's Republic a political project or a metaphorical work of irony?" "Do we have free will or are we all determined, such as sapolsky or harris says we are? "What is morality and is there an absolute and objective morality?" "Not philosophy question but I am wondering why you don't regularly chime in on current events? Not as often as before as far as I can tell." "How do we decide on what should be the proper functions of government??" "Do you think the NAP is coherent with human nature? Or, conversely, aren't humans (as all animals) aggressive by nature?" "Why is it that I can philosophise all day but as soon as someone asks me to do so, mind blank ? Could a topic jog a process for this maybe ?" "If we create the world around us with our minds and those signals could easily be messed up how does one fundamentally believe their reality is real or just imagined. If we manifest our reality are we creating our own adversity to overcome." "At what age can a male or female make sexual choices for his or her self?" "With all your talent and skills and added value you brought to the world in it's time of need, why of Why did you ever stop producing your 'The truth about...' videos??? 😭😭 "Please return to what you were Meant to do! The world needs you! 🙏🏻" "What are good techniques to introduce such philosophy to people who have gone astray? "I grew up in and live in a pretty leftist area, but there are also a lot of people on the far right who could use philosophy, virtually everyone I know is a statist that doesn't even know the definition of anarchy, much less the underlying principles. The problem I tend to encounter is that people on both sides tend to think that logic and reason that doesn't fit their programming must be on the opposite extreme relative to where they're at. "It seems like anything rational is often opposed strongly by at least one "side", and often both sides. "I was fortunate to be going through some stuff that required me to open my mind to new ideas in order to survive and\or thrive, some would call it the gift of desperation. How does one approach people who aren't even willing to have an open mind?" "What the heck are you meant to actually do with Hegelian dialectics? My head hurts." "WHO HAS SOLVED THIS? "The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's dialogue Euthyphro, in which Socrates asks Euthyphro, 'Is the pious (τὸ ὅσιον) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?' (10a)" GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND AUDIOBOOK! https://peacefulparenting.com/ Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!

In this episode, I respond to a thought-provoking inquiry from a mental health professional regarding the paradox of being skilled at helping others while struggling with one's own life. I explore how childhood conditioning, particularly through parental relationships, leads individuals to prioritize others' needs over their own. This discussion delves into the dynamics of learned behaviors, the sacrifice of personal identity for parental stability, and the emergence of win-lose relationships rooted in dysfunction. I emphasize the importance of mutual support and provide practical examples to illustrate healthy relational dynamics. Ultimately, I advocate for self-reflection and the unlearning of harmful patterns to foster better relationships with oneself and others.
