Summary

How to understand and deal with anxiety of women?


Hey Stefan
Hope all is well
Have you and your daughter been on any adventures?
Father daughter memories?
What’s something you’d like to experience with your family while you’re here in this life together ?


Are you allowed in New Zealand?!


It would be nice to make a series on the Examination of the major European philosophers and philosophic movements of the 17th and 18th centuries. Particular attention paid to the transition out of the medieval period into the Age of Enlightenment.


Happy with the bitcoin price?


Why does no one talk about what happened to Rhodesia?


Do you still support fluoridation given it is now a known neurotoxin?


If you still experience pain thinking about a toxic relationship you walked away from, does this mean you haven’t processed the morality properly? I’m still thinking about my sister that I don’t speak to anymore. My therapist said that it will always be a “pain point.” What are your thoughts? (asking again- apologies if you answered in a previous stream and I missed it.)



Dear Stef, I am currently at a bar on a late Saturday night, I just ordered a drink and the bartender said to me after I ordered a beer, ‘Is that all lovely?’. It was strange to hear this but also flattering to hear a young female bartender refer to me as ‘lovely’. It made me believe that this young bartender was probably flirting with me. I don’t recall any other bartender using the word lovely towards me. whilst the term ‘lovely’ is often used by older women to refer to younger people, this woman was approximately in her early 20’s about 10 years younger than me. She looked reasonably attractive, blonde hair, bright blue eyes but she was also a little chubby, so I wouldn’t date her to be frank, but my question still stands, if a younger woman says to a man ‘Is that all lovely?’. 1. Would she say that to a man she is not attracted to?
2. Would you say it is flirting to use the term ‘Is that all lovely?’. I’ve been to my local bar for the past 10 years and I never recall hearing a bartender say to me ‘Is that all lovely?’. If you do
think it is flirting, do
you think it is appropriate to ask her out as I’m ordering or should I attempt to find her after work or when she is on her lunch break when there is a bit more privacy away from
other customers?


Dear Stef are nightclubs and bars in Canada known as a place where people meet, but the only people who meet there are generally trashy people? I ask because I am currently in a bar trying to find a girlfriend, I am sitting alone because I don’t feel the need to bring male friends with me and to be frank I don’t have any male friends not that that bothers me because I would just use male friends as wingman to meet women. Anyway I don’t live in Canada anyway, I live in the continent of Australia, anyway I’m listening to this terrible hip hop music playing which is strange because there aren’t many African people living in Australia, I see people talking and socialising at this bar late on Saturday night and I am just perplexed by the whole experience which I find just almost miserable to be honest. Stef what chance do I have to find a girlfriend at a place like this? it may seem like a strange question but it’s not like there are alternative ideal places a man can go to meet women and ask them out? Anyway why is the West infected with this terrible hip hop music especially in Australia where there are virtually no black people, this music really infects my mind to be frank?


What do you think about Saylor starting a fund that buys so much BTC?

If you’ve researched it: Is it a good thing or bad thing?



Hi Stef, I asked this question the other day? I was wondering if you had an opinion on outsourcing. Large companies sending jobs to third world countries, and paying pennies on the dollar. Its a part of the free market and capitalisms, and wonder if it could be considered predatory, or just supply and demand. The consumer loses out on jobs, but benefits on cheaper goods and services, and the third world although paid a low wage, still benefit from a better job otherwise provided by their society. Thoughts?
Also do you have any thoughts on the United Healthcare CEO being murdered. Again, there seems to be a lot of happiness over a man being murdered. People feel that he caused the deaths of many people because the company denied a lot of claims. But is that just the jealousy of the poor, who do not appreciate the value of the insurance company and want free healthcare, or again the free market at work once again?

Hey there, everybody, Stefan Mollini for freedomain.com.

0:03.2

Hope you're doing well.

So, a couple of questions here from free domain.locals.com, great community.

0:10.0

You should join.

0:11.0

Hi, staff, long time listener.

0:12.0

I have a curious question about free will.

0:14.0

I think you probably heard this to some degree, but my question very briefly is as follows.

0:18.0

If we had a supercomputer that could run physics perfectly,

0:21.9

if somehow we could do that, and then also map every atom quark and their spins, etc.

0:27.1

perfectly, would we be then able to load the universe in this computer at, and at a faster speed,

0:34.6

scrub ahead and predict the future. Obviously, a complete hypothetical,

0:39.2

which is next to useless, but perhaps a fun thought experiment. I think if you extrapolate

0:43.1

the basics I have laid out, and you probably will, then that would be a pretty good argument

0:47.1

for a determinism. I myself prefer free will because it leads to the onus of responsibility

0:52.4

on each actor, but if we had such a system in such a hypothetical computer, it would be amusing to see the results, if at least for comparison

1:00.1

for the actual outcome. Perhaps you could use it to solve for X, in this case being free will,

1:05.4

or it would predict the future perfectly. Yeah, I mean, these are, this is dangerous shit to

1:10.5

mess around with. Honestly, this is really, oh, if we load it, first of all, you mean, these are, this is dangerous shit to mess around with. Honestly, this is

1:12.1

really, oh, if we load it. First of all, you can't, obviously, I know, you know, it's a thought

1:16.0

experiment that's mostly nonsense, but you couldn't possibly load the entire universe into a supercomputer.

1:20.9

It's, it's not possible. Because, I mean, just look at the speed of light, right? Right. So the universe is, you know, billions of light years across.

1:30.2

So you couldn't get the information about every quark in the universe
