Hello everyone, My name is Benoît. I'm a bilingual Flemish man, with a french name and Polish-Russian roots. Go figure, but this kind of blend happens quiet often in Belgium. At the present moment I live in the city of Brussels. I learned about Stephan Molyneux and this community in September, but it took me quiet some time to get involved on the website. The only right thing to do was to become a donator and become more invested into the community. It took me some time before I decided to start posting, because I was either struggling with the way I express myself in the English language, or because I was simply procrastinating too much. As for probably most people on this website, getting in touch with the philosophical content of Freedomainradio was a life changer for me. I don't think I will ever be the same after reading some of Stephan's books, especially when it comes to the eye-opening truths he speaks about relationships. I was in a relationship at the time where I started listening Stephan's podcasts. I noticed that as soon as I started to understand the content of the podcasts, it made me question so many things that seemed obvious before. My life, my family and my relationship. As I gained knowledge and insight, I felt that a part of my life was becoming more difficult. It became more difficult because I was being confronted with the truth about myself and this world. What used to be confusion started to become more clear. The confrontation could be, at times, very painful. Old wounds that never healed were now open again. Some of these confrontations led to a breakup with my (ex)girlfriend a few days ago. It hurts to not have her in my life anymore but I know that this has been caused by my lack of self-knowledge. As I missed her very much, I turned to some people in the community and so far I was glad to find very kind and helpful people in the chat room. Here I am now, sharing with you. I will start a long journey for self-knowledge and I hope that this community might bring me new insights.

Hello all, I am trying to locate a Stefan podcast that was posted on YouTube channel within the past 3-6 months that discussed how intellectuals experience the world differently from others. Stefan explained how a researcher that studies an indigenous group "will know more about their culture than they themselves know". Also, I think he mentions a book called "Intellectuals" by Paul Johnson. Stefan mentioned that intellectuals are not able to experience events with the same amount of emotion as others. If anyone could please find this podcast, or perhaps a related podcast/book/etc., I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks, Jonny
