Good morning, everybody. Hope you doing well. Question from a while ago, sorry about that,

and thank you for your recent questions, I'll get to them soon.

Stefan Molineau, when you talk with people, they might have emotional barriers to hearing some

truths. As an example, they spanked their children, so considering spanking being immoral

means they need to consider them to be immoral.

Is it useful to directly point to this possible painful thing directly?

And if it is, I think so, because I believe you did that in your call-ins.

How do you determine the other person is potentially ready or open to consider it.

What is the best way to break it to them?

Well, I don't remember a lot of that happening in call-ins, to be honest.

You know, I mean, so I could be wrong about this, but most of the call-ins that I recall

are people who are

concerned that they are suffering from evil, not so much that they're doing evil.

A debate, maybe, I had a debate with Walter, Dr. Walter Block about spanking many years ago.

A debate, maybe.

But I don't think I've had many calls where someone is calling up and saying,

I want to know if I'm doing evil or that I'm doing evil.

Usually, if people have been doing corrupt things like, you know, significant promiscuity,

or, you know, they'd be doing a lot of drugs, or they've been wasting the potential,

you know, somewhat negative, corrupty style things, but not obviously outright evil,

then they usually call me because they're in a state of exhaustion or tiredness, burn-outedness with regards to their corruption.

They're at the end of a particular road and looking for something better.
