Hey FDR community!
Thanks for taking the time to check out this post. FDR has been a powerful experience for me so far, and I am eager to talk about the experience with others!
Stefan's content has been a wonderful experience. I was an Infowars listener since 2009 and still listen to their content from time to time, but I find Stefan's content so much more valuable to my well-being as an individual. I am very thankful to Infowars for not only pointing me in FDR's direction, but also priming the pump on the true nature of the world so that I would be better prepared to hear what FDR had to say.
I am a teacher by trade, but I am taking Stefan's advice and trying to break into the free market by starting my own business. I can't wait to leave public schools behind me...so much of what FDR talks about with regards to public schooling is true.
Philosophy has given me a new outlook on life and what we can do to make an impact in it. As a Christian for most of my life, I was always looking for the answers to the holes in the stories and perceived morality but never got a good answer, particularly about the necessity of war. As I listened to Stefan's content on the subject, I felt absolutely revitalized and began applying philosophical principles to all areas of my life. It has made a big difference in my life and the people that I care about.
I am currently agnostic and see the atheist argument. I suppose the repercussions of becoming an outspoken atheist are pretty scary to think about. My brother is a pastor and my family is still heavily invested in the church. For what's it's worth, I think the church still does a lot of good in society and around the world, but see the underlying threats and fear that it is built upon and want to help bring people to a better understanding of religion through reason and rationality.
Though single myself, I love FDR's content on peaceful parenting and look to apply those principles to all children that I meet. I also LOVE FDR's "The Truth About" series, which has given me such a stronger perception of the people and incidents that they talk about. I try to regularly listen to FDR's content and happily donate to the cause. When I am making more money, I intend to donate more.
I live in Omaha, NE and I hope to meet a few like-minded people here in town and build up a community. If you live in the Omaha area, please drop me a line. We will be having a meet-up in Omaha on Wednesday for the next three weeks just to gauge the interest. Here is a link to the meet-up page.

In any case, thanks to the FDR community for making something like this group of people a reality. I am excited to be a part of it. There is such value in spreading reason and philosophy in the world today!
