I have really been wondering lately if I am simply incapable of loving someone. I have been with my GF for about a year, and I am strongly considering moving to the city she lives. For me, that would mean giving up a lot where I live at the moment, but I would probably try to set up a branch of...

On many occasions I have heard Stefan propose the following standard for social interactions: "Treat someone the best you can when you first meet them, after that treat them how they treat you." (or some variation of that) But I'm not sure that this is the best strategy for a person who is tryin...

Part three in my three-part article series on the voice of reason. "We’ve already established why and how disconnected people react when in confrontation with reality, and that in order to remain in denial and disconnection one has to ignore trauma and silence reason—that of other people and in th... -
Part two in my three-part article series on silencing the voice of reason. "Having principles carries a lot of weight. Your thoughts and emotions dictate your behavior. So if you have a certain mindset, you will act in a certain way. When you live in a highly delusional and unprincipled society...

I made a second video. This time about gender equality. I don't think it's such the great thing that people love to say that it is, and here's my thinking on that: I'd love to hear what you think!

This post is in response to Stefan's 'Fuck Evil' elevator pitch for being good as well as podcast 2839 Death by Incentives: What Makes The World Go Round. For the people on this board, "Fuck Evil" is what makes us get out of bed in the morning. Yet, the rest of humanity is content to say "I d... -
A while back I had the idea to compile a playlist of songs with a philosophical bent and that had meaning to me. As the list grew I divided it into four parts: 1) Anarchy; 2) Atheism; 3) Defoo; 4) Virtue. Below is the first part, and I'll be posting the others before the year's end. I hope this musi...

I'm currently working on a tragic novel and need some help on how best to demonstrate the virtue of the lead. To give a brief synopsis the novel is a tragedy set in modern day Paris about a sculptor, Anton Duarte, a black man from Tunisia who turns to stone. The fantastical device of turning to...

Hello. My name is Brian. I've been listening for several months and am a donor. I love philosophy and love the things that are going on here. I am new to the forum as well. I have a situation that I was going to try to talk to Steph about but I'm not sure how interesting it is, yada, yada. So I'...

I was trying to pin this down in another thread but didn't want to derail the conversation, hoping to explore this with the group.If the baseline for morality is the man in a coma -- he's not evil, at all, because he doesn't act -- what is *positive* virtue? I've got some ideas to throw out there, p...

So, sitting on my bed in my room writing this, since I can't fall asleep, coughing out my lungs. No, no that bad, just a virus or something messing with me Anyway, there is a topic that I have thought of (and still am thinking about), that bugs me. A lot. It's the ''Against me'' argument (is it c...

An interesting perspective on 'virtue'. I'll be straight up and honest, that I'm not entirely sure of his perspective. But I like that he sees virtue as being attached to material reality. Be great to hear other peoples thoughts on this talk.

Apologies if this has been dealt with before, I did a search but couldn't find anything in the archives. I listened to 'An Introduction to Virtue' series and I'm unsure about something. Stef says that in most cases it's cowardice to hold ourselves to higher values than those we interact with...
