A group of FDR listeners who sought genuine connection in an irrational world, ultimately forming an ongoing Skype-based Conversation Young Entrepreneurs, Blacksmiths, Engineers, Welders, Psychologists, Designers, and Philosophers Advocates of Liberty, Anarcho-Capitalism, Peaceful Parenting, Bitcoin and Precious Metals Men and women from ages 17 - 29.

If you use reason and evidence to guide you to truth, if you're honest and empathetic, if you've got the intellectual integrity to discuss ideas without the need of a Yale safe space, we want to meet you! From what I gather, so many of us in the FDR community are isolated, like lone torchlights burning inches above a turbulent sea of irrationality. In the physical realm, the odds are against us when it comes to meeting those worthy of a voluntary relationships. However, through the internet, we truth-seekers are able to connect via video, voice, and text through Skype. What Do We Discuss? Wow. A lot. Uhh... Let's start with: Technology, Current Events, Philosophy, Relationships, Psychology, Peaceful Parenting, Personal Struggles, Self-Improvement, Self-Directed Learning, Entrepreneurship, Business, Industry, etc. etc... There's a lot of fun discussion as well.. SJW's, Political Correctness, Trump, and more! Where Are We? That's a tough one. We're spread across 7 different countries in 3 continents as of now. Most of us are from the U.S. We've got our fair share of Europeans in the mix as well! (So Multicultural!) Wow, Fantastic! How do I Join? I'd like to be able to gauge people's interest on this forum. I plan on linking this to the FDR Facebook group, and would appreciate it if you'd post here if you're interested. For those of you who'd like to remain anonymous for whatever reason, feel free to READ THE UPDATE BELOW, then PM me and I can add you to the conversation. I'm super excited to reach out to you folks today. The value of the connections I've formed is truly amazing to me. I really, honestly hope that we can meet you, the intelligent and motivated reader, and get to know you soon.

Hello, thanks for clicking my topic This is my first post on freedomainradio, I'm quite excited to get involved! Il cut right to the chase... I'm having a bit of an issue with daycare. My fiance works in a daycare as an early childhood educator, in one of the "best" daycares on the island. I have witnessed their methods on several occasions, and as far as daycares go, I'm quite impressed. Their work ethics revolve around free choice and involving every child. This is the daycare that our child will go to. My fiance (Who I will refer to as Ash from now) will not be allowed to be in the same group as our child, but she will be able to frequently visit and periodically interact with them on downtime. So the main issue is: I still don't want to send my child to daycare, but considering all known variables, this daycare situation is much less like a typical one, Is it THAT bad? I know its a subjective question, I'm more so looking for people with experience with daycare that could shed some light We have talked about one of us taking time off work, or even looking for a rotating shift. I am totally fine with not working, but Ash isn't so keen on the idea right now. She is concerned financially, even though I have assured her that we can still net profit on mandatory expenses without me working. Besides, I can do some personal work from home here and there at nap time(s). I make just above minimum wage, Ash makes about 55% more than I. That being said, if we both worked for the younger years of our childs life, we would be able to move into a house sooner; we are currently renting a moderately sized apartment. So all things mentioned above, what do you guys think? P.S I'd be happy to expand on anything if there is something you feel is too vague or is confusing in any way. Thanks again

I'm curious. Being such a highlighted figure, are there any publicly available photos of Stefan from his younger days? Twenties? This is for no purpose whatsoever.
