Summary
"I've been procrastinating and stuck in the past for 19 years and can't stand the aging process. What can be done?"
"Was Plato's Republic a political project or a metaphorical work of irony?"
"Do we have free will or are we all determined, such as sapolsky or harris says we are?
"What is morality and is there an absolute and objective morality?"
"Not philosophy question but I am wondering why you don't regularly chime in on current events? Not as often as before as far as I can tell."
"How do we decide on what should be the proper functions of government??"
"Do you think the NAP is coherent with human nature? Or, conversely, aren't humans (as all animals) aggressive by nature?"
"Why is it that I can philosophise all day but as soon as someone asks me to do so, mind blank ? Could a topic jog a process for this maybe ?"
"If we create the world around us with our minds and those signals could easily be messed up how does one fundamentally believe their reality is real or just imagined. If we manifest our reality are we creating our own adversity to overcome."
"At what age can a male or female make sexual choices for his or her self?"
"With all your talent and skills and added value you brought to the world in it's time of need, why of Why did you ever stop producing your 'The truth about...' videos??? 😭😭
"Please return to what you were Meant to do! The world needs you! 🙏🏻"
"What are good techniques to introduce such philosophy to people who have gone astray?
"I grew up in and live in a pretty leftist area, but there are also a lot of people on the far right who could use philosophy, virtually everyone I know is a statist that doesn't even know the definition of anarchy, much less the underlying principles. The problem I tend to encounter is that people on both sides tend to think that logic and reason that doesn't fit their programming must be on the opposite extreme relative to where they're at.
"It seems like anything rational is often opposed strongly by at least one "side", and often both sides.
"I was fortunate to be going through some stuff that required me to open my mind to new ideas in order to survive and\or thrive, some would call it the gift of desperation. How does one approach people who aren't even willing to have an open mind?"
"What the heck are you meant to actually do with Hegelian dialectics? My head hurts."
"WHO HAS SOLVED THIS?
"The Euthyphro dilemma is found in Plato's dialogue Euthyphro, in which Socrates asks Euthyphro, 'Is the pious (τὸ ὅσιον) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?' (10a)"

| 0:00.0 | Good morning. It is Stephen Molineu from Free Domain.com. Some great questions from the community on |
| 0:09.0 | Facebook. Number one, I've been procrastinating and stuck in the past for 19 years and can't stand the aging process, what can be done? |
| 0:17.0 | So, procrastination is immortality. |
| 0:21.0 | If you had immortality, if you had immortality, then you would have precious little concern about how you |
| 0:29.5 | were spending any individual day. If you had an infinity of money you would not care about |
| 0:37.0 | the cost of anything and or if you were I don't know if you, printing, jerkwads or whatever, then you wouldn't care about the |
| 0:46.5 | costs of any individual thing because you could just type whatever you wanted into your own bank |
| 0:50.5 | account. |
| 0:51.9 | So the major issue when it comes to procrastination is a lack of sense of time that is passing. Now, I say this with no giant sense of superiority. I've certainly wasted my own share of life and time, but in general, when you're on a limited budget you spend wisely and if you're on a limited |
| 1:16.7 | budget then you prioritize into have to have nice to, and so on, right? |
| 1:24.8 | You have to have food and shelter. |
| 1:26.6 | It's nice to have maybe a new phone or something like that, right? |
| 1:30.7 | So prioritization is based upon finite resources and infinity of resources. |
| 1:37.0 | Well, I mean air in general, unless you break the scuba tank 200 feet below the ocean you're not |
| 1:44.2 | particularly concerned about where you're getting your next breath from because |
| 1:47.7 | air and oxygen to all intents and purposes for any individual, infinite, so we don't really worry about those things. |
| 1:56.8 | So procrastination comes from a stalling of the sense of time, and procrastination is the way that it's a mechanism by |
| 2:09.6 | which people are infected with the denial of their own potential. |
| 2:14.8 | Sorry, that was kind of an awkward way of phrasing it. |
| 2:16.9 | Let me take another run at that. |
| 2:19.3 | So if you waste time, you don't achieve your own potential. |
| 2:22.2 | If you don't achieve your own potential. If you don't achieve your own |
