How is it relevant?

Stef talks a lot about being in the role of a business executive for a software company which he co-founded, but from what I've gathered, he's never discussed what it took him to do that role. He's never talked about how he built the business, how he performed, his contributions/achievements, work/life balance, routine, etc... that I'm aware of. If any of you know of a video where he has said these things, it would be fantastic if you post a link to it below. That being said, if nobody knows of such a video, is there some reason as to why he hasn't mentioned these things? I'm sure, as with most people, Stef likes to talk about himself and I think he wants westerners to do well at business, so then why would he with-hold such information? If anyone knows or has heard anything about this then please share below

I agree. Take a look at history, after the fall of ancient Rome in particular. Europe spent the next 1300 years of their history in violence and poverty. The nation states of Europe (all owned and run by barbarians) were spending their efforts on trying to re-unify the old Roman Empire through violence and religion. If anyone wishes to survive the night, look into the history of post-Roman Europe. Learn about who survived, who died, and why.

Let's say that this is in regard to someone else, should they be considered as a desirable partner if what you're looking for is a committed and loyal life partner?

Haha, what are the purpose of tags here anyway? Does anyone actually know? Also, it's good to chat to you again too Yeah, I think so So basically what you're saying is that it's of utmost importance to select based upon values & principle more so than past experience, but that being said, most of the time, past experience is a good indicator of future behavior. Actually, I'm glad you brought this up, because it reminded me of 2 statistics which are both the same percentage: The number of people who keep their weight off after 10 years of weight loss, and, The number of people who remain virgins until marriage. They're both 3%. I think there might be a correlation...

By comparing people's motivation before and after their first time and seeing what the results are. Not only that, but by also looking at other related factors, we can account for any more/less motivation caused by another factor and not the sex. Yeah, my questions were a bit muddled, I tried to ask a very personal question in such a way that it wasn't personal, and ended up sounding a bit strange, my bad.

Question #1: Does it matter when someone has sex for the first time? I'm really unsure about the answer for a few reasons: 1. Apparently after someone has had about 3 sexual partners, their chances of getting divorced and just being a bad parent in general begin to increase. (According to stef in a video which I can't find) 2. If this first point is true, then does it matter if you have random sex or sex with a friend? Shouldn't someone have sex with someone they love? If you reach the 3rd person and you're no longer together, then you're screwing yourself over (statistically speaking). 3. Are virgins generally more motivated in life than non-virgins? If so, then that energy could be used for making great(er) things happen in one's life. If this is the case, then shouldn't someone stay a virgin for a long time? 4. Is it true that everyone remembers their first time? If so, then how do would one know whether or not their partner will go back to that person for sex later? How can you be truly dedicated to someone if you enjoy remembering sex you had with other people? Question #2: Does it matter how many people someone has had sex with? This is in regard to finding a suitable woman to possibly pro-create with in the future. Can someone really change their ways and become loyal & committed to one person for the rest of their life if they've spent most of their adulthood pursuing lots of f***buddies? I'll add some more questions later on once these 2 fundamentals have been sorted.

Ask around, hear/read reviews people have given about their therapists. figure out what it is you want from a therapist and then look for which therapist delivers the best results based upon what you want. Hope this helps!

Geesh, I though the USA was better for buying than AUS, but obviously not then. How long have house prices been that high for? In Sydney it's a more recent thing due to the influx of East Asians into the housing market, and I'm guessing it's the same for Seattle too, but tell me if I'm wrong. No worries, and thanks for the advice, I'm trying to make some YT vids myself so I need all the advice I can get

[from video]: "where I live real estate is going crazy, paying $500,00 for a house is normal" That's pretty good, compare that to Sydney and it's heavenly. The average house price in Sydney is about 1.2million dollars, and taxes are still the biggest expense... Also, I think you're well spoken in your videos, do you improv the video or do you write a script to follow?

It's sad to see this happening, but indoctrination happens all the time. It isn't just from big government, but also from companies, organisations, parents, etc.. from basically anyone. It's good that this is being called out for what it really is, but this won't be the end of indoctrination. It's like trying to end bullying, it won't happen because it's part of human nature. The only way to prevent bad things from happening is by arming yourself with the ability to not get bullied/indoctrinated. If we can teach kids to stand-up/think for themselves, then they will find the way.

I notice that you're new here, welcome Just FYI, the culture of this forum is a bit different to what you may have envisioned it to be. See, we're used to making arguments in these threads rather than expressing feelings which is why we're struggling to make sense of your statement as an argument. As Stefan Molyneux once said: "Not an Argument". However, that doesn't de-legitimize your feelings in any way, all it means is that there is no point in expressing them. How is anyone supposed to gain anything from that? My question for you is this: What do you want to get from expressing your feelings on this forum? What's the motive behind the action? Anyway, good luck on your quest for knowledge!

What do you mean by "learn"? Even though it is off-topic, it would be nice to know.

Read the book "Attached" by Amir Levine. It will help greatly in your analysis of this dream. I have some theories... From what I've gathered, the wind may represent you wanting to let go but being unable to due to your romantic attachment style. The wind may represent her effect on you. The most important part of this, from what I've gathered, is that you saw your ex, you wanted to be with her but put effort into pretending you didn't. Then, she actually wanted to see you but something stopped that from going any further. Wind is not really going to do that to a relationship. Wind, in your sense, represents struggle. The struggle of pushing through loneliness, on two layers, but in the middle layer represents the effect her games have had on you. Layer 1: You are lonely without her. Layer 2: When you are with her, she toys with you psychologically. Layer 3: This toying disconnects you emotionally from the relationship thus making you lonely with her. This is just a theory anyway, I don't actually know how you were feeling about the dream. This dream may be a manifestation of your longing to be with someone, and inability to see why you can't. Can I ask you something? Do you feel as if you're struggling at all when it comes to loneliness? Do you feel like something is going on in the background but you are blind to it? Something everyone else can see but you, something nobody else struggles with except for you? Also, what was your emotional state after having this dream, and what about during the dream? Hope this helps, Cheers

I play bass, I usually play prog-metal and neo-classical metal stuff like dream theater and Symphony X. Have you made any music before? If so, could I hear it? Also, do you mind elaborating on what it is we have to do exactly? Are you requesting that we travel with you or just send you material from where we live?

In that case, I guess everyone belongs in Europe... Anyway, this is misleading. Gaecopithicus Fraebergi was a completely different genus to us. If this ape was in fact our direct ancestor, then we are still roughly 3 genus' away from them. Graecopythicus > Selanthropus > Ororin > Adrpithicus > Australopithicus > Homo. That would be our lineage from us to them, unless the Kenyanthropus and Paranthropus genus' are also part of our direct ancestory (which is still debatable). Point is, they were not human. The human genus is Homo. The human sub-family is Homininae and includes the human specie and species of chimpanzees. If this Graecopithicus is the birther of humanity, it would either have to be the ape which 'split' into humans and chimps, or the first homo. Neither of these options are true and no other reasoning has been put forward. "Retired anthropologist and author Dr Peter Andrews, formerly at the Natural History Museum in London, said: "It is possible that the human lineage originated in Europe, but very substantial fossil evidence places the origin in Africa, including several partial skeletons and skulls." (from the article). Also, the study does not claim that we come from Europe. If you read the actual study (hyperlinked below), it acknowledges that there are still other possible candidates for the position of 'birther of humanity'. There were many possible candidates from all across the middle east, the south east corners of Europe, and all throughout Africa. This Graecopithicus fossil was discoverd in 2 places (Greece and Bulgaria) and put together to make a single fossil. The danger of putting two very unsubstantial bits of fossil together is that they may not be from the same species, especially if they are separated by hundreds of kilometers rather than found at the same site. If it was at the same site then understandable, but still dangerous as animals (especially apes) can fight each other to the death and both be leave their fossil behind at the scene. "Graecopithecus is known from a single mandible from Pyrgos Vassilissis Amalia (Athens, Greece) [38] and possibly from an isolated upper fourth premolar (P4) from Azmaka in Bulgaria." (From Study: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0177127) Key-phrases: "single mandible" and "possibly from an isolated upper fourth molar". The specie is barely even classified, yet the article claims that "Europe was the birthplace of mankind, not Africa, scientists find" Moral of the story is: you can't trust the media to tell you the truth.

Haha, cheers mate, I'm still contemplating the whole thing. But like I said, I may as well try

But does that also rule out ever procreating and raising a family with one?

I'm going to take the optimists approach and claim that it's worth the effort to have moral integrity in the case that you find a woman who also upholds moral integrity. Why? Because that scenario (both partners with moral integrity) is the most desirable outcome in terms of reproductive success. Such an outcome can't be achieved if it is never attempted. Does having moral integrity get a woman turned on? I don't know and it doesn't matter. If women have the free will to make their own decisions, then they should be able to use their brain and moral compass to find a man who is best suited for raising a family with. If these women exist, then they will choose the men with moral integrity over the sexy alpha males. If all fails and you are getting into your 60's and you have not yet raised a family, then there are always sperm banks and sluts

@meetjoeblack, I read 'Way of the Superior Man' by David Deida, and quite honestly I found the book to be terrible. Mostly unscientific, and heavily centered around sex. I talked to some family members about the book and they said that even though it doesn't really make sense to me now, it probably will later on, especially when I do get into a relationship. So even though I find it terrible now, I'm open to the possibility that it may help later on.

Brilliant video, lots of energy, great speaking voice and interesting content. I look forward to watching more of your content. Also, what mic is that? I'm thinking of doing videos myself but every mic I have is terrible.

Ah, I see, I should probably read more Socrates, haha. I got the impression that you were trying to bolster your self-image, my bad. Righto, again I had the wrong impression, my apologies. That sucks, but it's good to hear that you're taking a proactive approach to school rather than letting it get the better of you. You're at school for the best part of your waking hours so it's important to get the most out of it. Anyway, good luck and keep us updated on how lefties respond to your efforts at spreading non-PC ideas

Is school actually as bad as prison? Are you actually getting tortured? I'm not sure if you really do think this way or whether it is just figurative language as there is only text and no tone of voice. Have you thought about dropping out of school? I did that and am probably going to be graduating university at the same time as all my peers who stayed at school, but would be earlier if I didn't take the half gap year. I'm not sure how things go down in America in relation to education, but I know that in Australia we have alternatives to high-school which people can take once they are about 14/15 years old. I took one alternative and it was the best decision I ever made. 2 other people I used to know took the same path as me and wish they stayed at school. It really depends on who you are. If you're the sort of person who is individualistic and very self-disciplined then go your own way. If not, then stay at school. This might help you in your efforts: http://www.patrickbetdavid.com/stay-school-drop-college/ Really? Have you conducted tests to find that out? What constitutes as the wisest? How to you measure wisdom? Or are you just saying this to feel better about your situation? If yes, then this is important for you to know. It doesn't mean you're a bad person, it's probably just that your body is telling you something. You need to find out what this is and then solve it if you wish to move on from your suffering. Anyway, I look forward to reading your response, and good luck at school

Quite right, however we could at least try to create an estimation based upon mathematics. There is of course the problem of knowing when it is that people will be no longer motivated to make money due to its lack of worth. Also, who does the UK owe their debt to? another country? No, a bank from Germany (you know the one). There's a great presentation animation on YouTube which explains this issue pretty well. Actually there are a few. Check out this: So, when will welfare run out? Who knows the exact date, but the event will be something along the lines of the Banks wanting their money back. The people will pay for it through interest rates and taxes. The government will pay for it by limiting spending and increasing the taxes.
