Hello everybody, So far I listened to ca. 200 hours of FDR YouTube videos mostly from 2013, podcasts and audiobooks. I listen to ca. 2 hours of FDR a day. You can label me: An Ex-Catholic: As a kid I enjoyed the company of catholic kids because they were not bullying me like the kids at school. I never believed the bible to be more than a collection of anachronistic, fictionalized stories. Jesus might have had some good insights into ethics though. An Ex-Utilitarian: I tried to live my life in a way, so that it has the most utility for mankind. I did this from age 17 till 27. I probably was wrong since it is already difficult to know what is best for me and it would be presumptuous to assume I know what is of utility for mankind. An anarcho-capitalist: Since I listen to FDR. Before I was an advocate for a minimal state. My goal is to live a happy life and do my part in making the world a better place. I think self-knowledge and spreading the truth is a good way to do this.

Ah, where shall I begin... I dove head first into Stefan' videos about a week and a half ago. Something clicked. I'm here to learn because I'm at a(nother) crossroads in life, unable to continue cycling through my same patterns of dysfunction anymore and having difficulty determining what direction to go in. I went from an anxious overachiever in my youth to a depressed, directionless and drifting divorcee' all before the tender age of 27. I got lost in the rabbit hole while trying to decondition myself from my Catholic, nationalistic, athletic, and tribal indoctrinations of my youth. Mr. Molyneux's rational, humbling, and personally applicable insight is helping me to see through my missteps without constantly beating up on myself. I finally feel a step closer to the self-trust that I can barely remember what it feels like to have. Thanks for your support, and I will do my best to return it. fitzpatrick
