Summary
How do I deal with a neurotic personality where i always do the opposite of what's good for me?
Yes, what the hell is wrong with you?
Thoughts about doing a meetup in Thailand?
Your thoughts on long-term permanent space colonies will it ever be possible?
Do we REALLY need more "relationship experts"? In the context of people not REALLY changing, we are just hanging on, more often than not. And all these experts created a trend were a lot of people are more interested in the theory of being "healed" and "ready" instead of just fricking going out like normal people. In the end don't we just make it as we go? all this expertise people are developing (lol) from 2min clips are just a new and different kind of apathy and esoteric judgements.
Two words: thank you
I’ve never heard you analyse the affects of outsourcing. Globalisation is the number one conspiracy, IMO. You focus a lot on fiat currency and the welfare state but I think outsourcing is more causative to the human condition. Such a simple trick! We’re given the final product but denied the growing and the making of the product. So simple yet devastating.
After a long break from family due to dysfunction, abuse, addiction and infidelity, how do I self prepare to visit a parent who is gravely ill or attend the funeral. I haven’t had contact with my parents or siblings in over a year due to there inappropriate lifestyles choices that I refuse to allow my daughters to bare witness to.
Do you still support fluoridation despite the NTP fluoride neurotoxicity report showing that fluoride lowers IQ?

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everybody. I hope you doing well. Questions from Facebook, couple other places. |
| 0:05.4 | How can we verify if humans are inherently self-interested? Are all actions selfish? What are the |
| 0:12.0 | implications of this if it is true? I mean, yeah, this is a basic question. I don't mean, by basic, I don't mean |
| 0:20.5 | simple. It's a great question. |
| 0:22.2 | It comes to the Kantian question of, is an act virtuous if we benefit from it? In other words, |
| 0:27.2 | selflessness or acting against her own benefits for the benefits of others is considered by Kant |
| 0:31.4 | to be a higher virtue. So if a man helps a woman move, right? |
| 0:40.8 | She wants to move. |
| 0:41.6 | He helps her move, |

| 0:46.7 | then he's not helping her move. |
| 0:48.6 | He's trying to get a kiss or whatever, right? |
| 0:51.9 | So he's not doing the move for helping the woman, he's doing the |

| 1:02.8 | for everyone to act to the benefit of others and not themselves or against their own interests, |
| 1:09.4 | because somebody has to be the recipient of that |
| 1:12.5 | generosity, right? And so if the man should help the woman move just to help her move because he's a |
| 1:23.6 | nice guy and not with the expectation of a kiss or anything like that, or even if he helps her move with the expectation of pizza and beer afterwards, right? |
| 1:30.3 | That's not doing it for the thing itself. |
| 1:32.3 | So if he is helping her move in order to get something, and he shouldn't do that, he should simply |
| 1:41.3 | help her move without expecting anything in return, then that's a universal, right? |
| 1:48.2 | And if it's a universal, then she should not want him to help her move because she would |
