Thank you, I'm confident I will have a great time here!I'm studying social science in high school, what is your occupation?

Hello! My name is Fredrik and I'm from Sweden, I'm currently studying abroad but will return to Sweden soon. I've been interested in asking the question "Why?" to basically everything as far as I remember, though it was around 2 years ago when I really started getting attached to the current state of philosophy in the world, and the first year I kept all the thoughts for myself and I didn't bother sharing them since I figured nobody had a similar interest (I'm currently trying to prove myself wrong by talking to people). What I found after a while regarding the state of philosophy right now, was simply that there wasn't much philosophy at all, I could summarize the "philosophy" in my social circles in this way. "If I get good grades, I will be able to apply for a good school/university and afterwards get a good job, so I need to study & learn whatever is thrown at me to live a good life". This way of thinking does not suit me at all, I get the feeling that it diminishes some very critical questions one ought to ask themselves before taking those things for granted. A couple of months ago I stumbled across one of Stefan's videos on Youtube and I can't remember which video it was, but I remember sitting in my chair with goosebumps because that was the first time I had ever heard another person bringing up similar issues I was concerned about to the surface. Ever since, Stefan's videos and podcasts have provided me with relevant facts and has given me a wider insight into different ways of thinking. And therefore I wish to thank Stefan Molyneux for enlightening me with certain issues in modern society. Kind Regards to everyone here at Freedomain Radio, - Fredrik
