In this episode, I follow up on "Philosophy vs OnlyFans! Listener Debate" (https://fdrpodcasts.com/5984/philosophy-vs-sex-workers-listener-debate) with some more thoughts. I examine pride and genetic predisposition, addressing whether one should take pride in achievements influenced by genetics. While recognizing the genetic basis of traits like IQ, I stress the significance of personal agency and moral choices, illustrated through a scenario of decision-making in danger. I discuss the variability of human traits and the ethical implications of our choices, arguing against genetic determinism. I also confront the philosophical issues around death and the modern healthcare system's impact on quality of life. Advocating for thoughtful discourse, I highlight the importance of recognizing the societal consequences of life extension. Ultimately, I call for moral accountability and personal agency in navigating life's challenges.

"You made a point in your recent call in with the OnlyFans woman that women shouldn’t feel accomplished for making money from selling their images on OnlyFans because they haven’t earned their beauty. However, as you do well know IQ is 80% genetic and becomes more genetic as you get older. You Stef yourself experienced a childhood that would be the model of creating a homeless drug addict living in the street, however you did not become a drug addict or homeless, in fact you became a very successful businessman both as a former software executive and also now as a self-employed philosopher. So despite all the environmental odds being against you as a poor child living in a home with an absent father and a dysfunctional mother; you achieved great success, and your success stems not from your environment but your high IQ and your work ethic, both of which are largely genetic, in fact just as much genetic as women who have big boobs, perfect facial structure and peachy booty is also genetic. Now there is some environmental tailoring that can be done such as going to the gym or working hard, however work ethic is also largely genetic. Interestingly, I would in fact argue that that a persons physical body is actually less genetically determined than a persons IQ; the amount of physical transformation a woman’s body can go through from the gym is more extreme than anything a person could attempt to do to increase their IQ. Jordan Peterson said there is nothing that can be done to increase IQ. So the point of all this backstory is to ask ‘Why do you think women selling photos of themselves is not good because they haven’t earned it, they just inherited it like winning the lottery?.’ You yourself didn’t earn your high IQ and pretty much everything a person does whether it is work ethic, personality is all driven largely by predetermined genetic factors. In extreme cases someone who is born with a high IQ can be totally destroyed by the environment to the point they can’t read, but generally speaking apart from extreme cases everything a person does and every accomplishment a person has earned is the result of innate genetic inheritance. Thus, why would you say a woman hasn’t earned her beauty shouldn’t sell it when you Stef haven’t earned your high IQ? Does this suggest a bias where you believe intellectual work; though just as much predetermined as a woman’s physical appearance is superior to says OnlyFans work, and does this suggestion instigate any personal reflection in yourself that suggests the reason you are against women selling their beauty on OnlyFans and the like, is because you inherited a high IQ and as such you have a bias to do work that suits your natural genetic predisposition? Thus, would you acknowledge it is an inconsistent argument to make that women who make money from their genetic disposition is bad because they quote, ‘haven’t earned it’?" "- Sorry, risking life and limb to spread peaceful parenting and moral philosophy is the same as selling pictures of your butthole on the internet? Do you even hear yourself?" "@freedomain I do not disagree with the claim that peaceful parenting has tremendous value for society, certainly more value than quote ,'butthole' pics. However, you did not make that claim in your conversation with the OnlyFans woman and that was not the claim I was disputing in my question. I was specifically disputing your claim that women haven't earned the ability to make money using their body because it’s ‘unearned’. At 1hour:30min of your OnlyFans woman call-in you said Quote: "‘I think that we end up happier if we get paid for things that just aren’t accidental to us’. "You then said to the OnlyFans caller ‘You did not earn your body’. Again this is a bad argument because a lot of people put a lot of work in the gym and dieting to get an amazing body so your assumption that OnlyFans women didn’t earn their body is in many cases false. I’ve noticed from my experience at the gym, that women who have a great perfect butt are far more common in the gym then you would expect to find by chance by walking around in random public places. I’m certain there is a type of perfect peachy ideal female butt that certain women have that is largely the result of hard work in the gym, not solely the result because genetics are also involved of course, but an enhanced female butt is certainly the result of hard work in the gym based on my own first-hand observations of women in the gym. However, the main problem with your argument is that - All abilities whether it is the height of a basketball player, the strength of a bricklayer, the petite stature of a ballerina or the mental ability of a philosopher stems from inate 'unearned' genetic factors. Thus, a woman has just as much right to sell photos of her ‘butthole’, as a computer programmer has the right to use their high IQ to earn money. So this specific argument you were making in the call-in was a bad argument for all the reasons I have listed herein. You could make the argument that ‘tits and ass’ pics add no value to society, but on the contrary philosophy and peaceful parenting does, however you did not make that argument in your call-in. I was simply pointing out in my question that you used a flawed argument rather than a good argument during your recent OnlyFans woman call-in. I think you should add a prelude to your OnlyFans call-in to let future viewers know that you presented a bad argument on this specific point. It’s not a big deal because in a 2 plus hour convo you can miss what you may or may not have already said, however considering 10% of American women between 18-28 are already selling ‘tits and ass’ pics on Onlyfans, you may see it Stef as your responsibility to provide a thorough argument as to why women shouldn't do OnlyFans rather than the flawed 'unearned' argument you presented in your recent OnlyFans call-in and apend it to the end of the call-in." "- She never talked about putting hours in the gym - she said she was just grew big breasts. I also acknowledged that some sex workers do work hard on maintaining their figures. I was talking about her specifically, did you not follow that?"

I moved out over a year ago, and since then, I’ve been living on my own and listening to your show. Over the past year, I’ve been processing and grieving my childhood. Your show has been incredibly helpful in identifying the true extent of the abuse I endured, understanding how to apply philosophy to my life, and learning how to be a peaceful parent. The impact it has had on my life is immeasurable. Right now, I find myself doing little outside of going to work. On weekends, I rarely leave my house except to run errands, play basketball at the park, or occasionally hang out in person with my Xbox friends. My biggest struggle at the moment is a porn addiction. Most weekends, I give in to the urge, which completely drains my energy, leaving the next few days as a write-off. This has been a major contributor to my social anxiety and inhibition when talking to women. It has defined my entire adult life. I've mostly DFOO’d, but I haven’t truly confronted either of my parents. I feel like I’ve extracted as much knowledge, wisdom, and insight as I can from my childhood—yet I still think about it every day. And I’m sick of it. A real sense of mortality is setting in. I'm 26, single, and have few good memories to look back on. I do not want to turn 27 and still be in the same place. Life has been passing me by, and I know there’s so much more out there. I hope that by talking to you, I can identify the root of my dysfunction and learn to move forward in life with confidence. I thirst for feedback, guidance, and an ally to help dislodge me from this perpetual cycle of self-destruction. Thank you for your time and consideration.

In this lecture, Stefan examines Ludovic Jullali's critique of anarcho-capitalism through the lens of Robert Nozick's philosophies. Jullali categorizes it as a "dangerous and contradictory doctrine," arguing that its intellectual shortcomings hinder its viability in practice. Jullali discusses natural rights, emphasizing the implications of mutual protection associations in a stateless society. Stefan contrasts voluntary private protection with state coercion, asserting that the competitive nature of markets limits any single agency's dominance. Stefan addresses economic inefficiencies of state systems and advocates for the evolution of protective agencies that prioritize prevention over reaction to crime. Throughout the lecture, he responds to critiques regarding external threats and competing legal systems, ultimately defending anarcho-capitalism as a framework that promotes individual rights and decentralized governance.

Seeking advice about what to do next in life Details: Hi Stefan! I'm a big fan of your show and I've recently gotten back into listening to it more regularly. I'm a 30-year-old woman from Australia. I've lived a pretty great life with many amazing experiences, including fashion modelling in Japan, South Korea, and New York! I'm politically involved and always doing something 'for the cause'. Professionally, I'm bored at my job, and I'm stumped about what to do next in work and in life. I'm a single Christian with conservative values, and I'd love to get married and have a family, but I'm struggling to find a man I'm compatible with and interested in. I guess you could say I am feeling quite lost. Something has got to change in my life soon, and I would absolutely relish your advice, insights and knowledge as to what that could be. I would appreciate an objective point of view from someone as intelligent as yourself.

Sunday Morning Live 4 May 2025 In today's livestream, I examine the theme of personal drama and the self-inflicted challenges we create. I define drama as self-generated, negatively impactful, and typically unsolvable, encouraging listeners to evaluate their own experiences. We discuss how the human brain craves challenge, often leading to unnecessary conflict when real issues are absent. I highlight the importance of distinguishing sympathy based on the nature of others' struggles and provide insights into managing conflicts and communicating difficult topics with children. The discussion emphasizes personal growth and the transformative power of confronting life's challenges directly.
