Summary
Questions:
What do you think about sidehustles after having kids? I tried but cannot fathom how one combines it with kids.
With your years of fighting the good fight for non aggression and peaceful parenting, do you see societal progress on these fronts, is it moving the other direction, or is it about the same?
Stefan, do you think it’s possible to raise strong, moral children in a large urban area today?
With the constant distractions, negative influences, and government schooling, I believe it’s extremely difficult if not impossible. What are your thoughts?
If women are unfriendly towards other women who are more attractive and intelligent than themselves (‘’more attractive’ women experience more aggression and sabotage from other women per research) how does the female status hierarchy work? Is it self defeating/rewards mediocrity?
Is retirement devastating for most people?
When does patience stop being a virtue?
Are we obligated to tip dealers at casinos when you win?I don’t gamble but to me this makes no sense. They don’t tip you when you lose and you still have to pay taxes on that money.
I want to know what you think about the prevalence of young female domestic abusers. I have no data, but in my opinion, it seems to be dramatically rising.
You seemed to say the poor lack empathy towards the rich, with their wealth tax in NY/California. But the rich have funded this communism for 100 years. The ford foundation, hewlett foundation, soros, Hearst foundation, the bill gates foundation and many more. The rich are evil
When is it ok to seek revenge? If you are rude to a waiter is he justified in spitting on your food?
Why do ‘ high’ IQ’ folks tend to be the most gullible and authoritarian as Eric Hoffer described - the tyranny of the intellectuals?
When is it OK to lie?
Where does free will end and determinism begin?
What would you tell a successful 38 year old man who can’t find a good wife? Man makes $400k a year, lives in a nice townhouse in a nice town in the USA, works out 4 days a week.
What should I read to know more about theatre? Are there non acting theatre degrees?
Do you think AI slop on social media will ruin the addictive hooks integrated into social media in a way that makes people minimize their social media use, meaning the next generation might be better off mentally? 🤔
How can one who finds themselves drowning in apathy learn to feel joy again?
What are your thought on the Tesla humanoid robots?
Was there ever a time in the History of the Universe where nothing existed?
Why did you only have one kid?
How can men best help in the emotional regulation of their woman?
How do we culturally stop social media/gaming addiction?
What are some dating tips you have for unattractive people?

| 0:29.0 | What do you think about side hustles after having kids? |
| 0:33.7 | I tried, but can I fathom how one combines it with kids? |
| 0:41.1 | Well, parenting is the ultimate example of pay me now or pay me later. They pay me now or pay me later. Just as much as humanly possible, just spend a bunch of time with your kids |
| 0:46.8 | when they're young. The memories are fantastic. They are a warm heart in your fire as the world |
| 0:52.7 | grows cold as you age. |
| 1:02.5 | And I love going past places that my daughter and I had great memories when she was little, right? |
| 1:07.2 | She's, you know, going to be 18 this year, so she's almost an adult, of course. |
| 1:09.8 | And forget about the side hustles. |

| 1:25.5 | I mean, A, it's fun. B, it's great for them. C, they build wonderful |
| 1:30.7 | memories. And D, if you don't spend time with your kids when they're young, and I know you're |
| 1:37.2 | not talking about not spending time with your kids, just talking about it being a bit different. |
| 1:40.7 | If you don't spend time with your kids when you're young, then, of course, what happens |
| 1:45.2 | is you end up having to spend a lot of time managing them and their problems and their peer |
