Summary
Stefan addresses the importance of humility and continuous improvement. He recounts his own experiences of feeling overwhelmed and humbled by the vast knowledge in philosophy, despite studying it for 20 years. Stef emphasizes the need to acknowledge that he doesn't have all the answers and encourages further conversation and learning from others. He expresses empathy towards individuals who come across as arrogant but emphasize the importance of conquering the ego and recognizing the potential for growth. Surrounding oneself with quality people who strive for improvement is highlighted as crucial. He also discusses the principles they have established in philosophy, such as UPB, property rights, non-aggression principles, and peaceful parenting, but emphasizes the need for continuous improvement and remaining open to challenging one's certainties. Being humble and continuously improving are seen as intertwined, with Stef concluding that recognizing one's limitations and approaching knowledge with a blank slate mentality is essential for growth. He urges listeners to embrace humility and strive for continuous improvement on their journey.

| 0:00.0 | Good morning, good morning. Hope you doing well, Stefan Mollini from Freedom, |
| 0:02.4 | a couple of questions from freedomain.com. Hope you would join the community. |
| 0:07.3 | Need some help clarifying what causality means. And if there are different types of causality, |
| 0:12.5 | say for instance, I have headaches. I choose to take meds for the pain. The meds also risk |
| 0:17.8 | damage to my liver and I'm aware of the risks. My liver fails and I die. |
| 0:22.0 | What was the cause of my death? |
| 0:24.2 | Or another case, if every pregnancy requires prior insemination, |
| 0:27.4 | is pregnancy caused by insemination? |
| 0:30.2 | Even if not every instance of insemination causes pregnancy. |
| 0:34.9 | Well, with regards to the second one, well, if every pregnancy requires prior insemination, |
| 0:42.8 | pregnancy is caused by insemination. So what you're trying to do is you're trying to mix the |
| 0:47.8 | biological with the philosophical, right? So at a physical level, for sure, pregnancy is caused by |
| 0:53.8 | insemination. |
| 0:55.3 | However, from a philosophical standpoint, pregnancy is caused by the choice to engage in sexual activity. |

| 1:08.7 | So from a philosophical standpoint, because philosophy is not biology, a different |
| 1:14.5 | discipline, right? So yes, if you have the egg and you have the sperm and fertilization occurs, |
| 1:22.2 | you get an implantation occurs and all these dominoes fall, you get pregnancy. So that's from a |
| 1:27.0 | biological standpoint. |
| 1:29.4 | The question of philosophy is, well, how did that sperm get into proximity to the egg to begin |
| 1:35.9 | with? And that's usually because, I mean, outside of rape and so on, that's because there's a choice |
| 1:40.2 | to engage in procreative sexual activity. So from a biological standpoint, the cause is physical. |
