5234 Why Women Are So Scared!

August 03, 2023 19:15 - 2 hours - 127 MB

Hey Stef, was is the philosophy/origin of penny-pinching? I've been trying to get over it and know it must be in part from my scarcity-mindset immigrant parents, but even though I still save plenty, I'll do things like stay hungry and keep looking if a restaurant menu charges me just 50 cents more than I think their food is worth... Did you grow up poor? I feel like you have special sharpness of thought in your recent shows. Is it because of topics or the fact that you're currently writing ...

I'm in an extremely toxic relationship about to have children I need your help so I do not make the biggest mistake of my life - to have kids with the wrong woman and destroy the lives of the children.

5221 Why Parents Abuse

July 13, 2023 20:02 - 2 hours - 114 MB

Wednesday Night Live 12 July 2023 My parents were neglectful, not physically or verbally abusive in any way. There was just... nothing. My mom left the family and was out of my life from 8-18. My dad remarried and 5 more children. I have a lot of feelings of loss and sadness within that extended family. I'm glad I notice this, but what are some blind spots I should be aware of? Especially in regards to my own parenting? Any advice for a person who constantly ruminates over a past betrayal/e...

5217 The Truth About Mysticism

July 07, 2023 22:01 - 59 minutes - 56 MB

IT IS A GATEWAY TO MENTAL ILLNESS! Listener objections: I also think it's perfectly reasonable to not continue paying attention to Stef if this basic query is not responded to. I owe a donation when I'm back in work. But as far as following further I do not see the reason to respect someone that so fragrantly neglects a rational thought process. I've always thought Stefs arguments in this area are weak. Such as the assumption of atheist as categorically correct when I understand it to be o...

Bar culture... Do women look better at 35 than 25? Effects of birth control pills on women.

5208 Death to the Ego - Long Live Wisdom! Freedomain Livestream

June 30, 2023 02:04 - 1 hour - 106 MB

Question concerning discussion from a prior livestream concerning propaganda. Your description of women being the victim of statist propaganda in regards hyper-materialism, surface aesthetic obsession, misandry, collectivism, etc. was of interest. Your explanation in my humble opinion sounded very much in line with leftist victimology. Perhaps I missed something. Are individuals to be held responsible and accountable for actions in response to being propagandized? Seems you are most willing t...

5199 Hot Fitness Wife Fears Cheating! Freedomain Call In

June 18, 2023 23:25 - 2 hours - 131 MB

Is it normal for my husband to be adding attractive/provocative women on his social media and liking their posts? I am confused as I check all the boxes of what an attractive moral woman should be. And yet, I find myself questioning "Am I enough?" "Will he leave me?" Is this normal behavior and I am overthinking it. Or does this behavior confirm my fears. He is still looking.
