  • "Hey, Stef, what are your thoughts on the ethics of actions that are, in the immediate moment, not unethical, but in the long run, have the risk of becoming so? Let's say, for example, you develop a sexual relationship with a woman only for the sake of satisfying your vanity, insecurities, and sexual needs without the intention of a long-term commitment. If this action is between two consenting adults and doesn't violate the NAP or UPB, it can't be called unethical. However, should a pregnancy occur, either the resulting abortion or the child raised by two parents who are only drawn together by lust has the potential for unethical outcomes. The promiscuity isn't unethical if both parties are honest about what they're doing, but the consequences can spiral into unethical territory. What then is the ethical status of promiscuity if it is voluntary? Is the correct word irresponsible rather than unethical?

    "Is the failure of parents to secure a safe environment for their children to be raised in unethical if they had the chance to do so? If so, does this mean that we can create a term like retrospective ethics, which refers to ethical judgments that are validated only by looking backwards in time after the consequences are played out instead of through reason alone? Before the ethical judgments are validated, they are simply speculative, so maybe they can be referred to as speculative ethics before consequences validate or invalidate the judgments. The main problem I found with this reasoning is in finding the first cause. If promiscuity is unethical only when certain consequences occur, why do we focus on the act of sex rather than the preceding acts such as the flirtation and escalating behaviors? How would we locate the first domino that kick-started this unethical chain in order to assign ethical judgment to the correct behavior? Is this why UPB and ethics as a whole cannot be based on consequences?"

I had a very difficult postpartum time with my son and I'm afraid of not being able to tend to my current child properly with a new baby. (Ps I donated on Freedomain)"

  • Let's say a couple were to enter into some contract with a woman to maybe use the male sperm and the woman's eggs in order to get a baby, and the baby then, in a sense, would be contracted, maybe money would exchange.

    Therefore, the baby is bought and paid for, and is this UPB? In other words, can a couple pay another woman to conceive and carry a child, and then the custody of the child would be transferred to the new couple, and is this UPB? Now, of course, there's no force that is being deployed in the contract, right? So everybody is voluntarily putting themselves in the contract. And the argument is, and I understand the perspective, and I obviously really respect the question, but the baby is not consenting. The baby is not consenting to the contract. Now, of course, I've made this case before, but it's been a long time ago. Is a contract valid if you can't consent at the time, but you do consent later?

It's okay, but I feel like I want more from life, and I realize I feel like I've wanted more from live for a while now... I feel like I've been kind of drifting through life a lot recently, just kind of accepting what's given to me and not really--you know--pushing for more, essentially, and getting quite down about that as well."

  • "good day Stefan, I'd like a clarification on your definition of 'love'. As I understand it Love: is our involuntary response to virtue. How does that correlate to pets, very young relatives, and other relationships where virtue isn't the primary source. Is love only possible in intimate relationships? What do you call emotional distress when a death of a beloved pet dies? Obviously I'm not equating pets with people, but our emotions seem to treat them similarly. Not sure if there is an evolutionary or philosophical explanation that you can give but it seems to me that Love: is simply an evolutionary response to attachment based on resource gathering to include family structure. Again huge respect to your work, I'm just hoping to get more clarification on your thought process."

  • In this lecture, I discuss how ideologies like feminism and communism influence personal responsibility. I challenge the idea that ideologies keep individuals in a state of perpetual childhood by shifting accountability to external factors. By exploring feminism's portrayal of women as victims of patriarchy and communism's view of identity based on socioeconomic status, I emphasize the importance of taking ownership of one's choices and avoiding a mindset of eternal adolescence. This talk prompts reflection on the societal implications of ideologies that diminish self-responsibility and promote victimhood, ultimately advocating for self-awareness and empowerment in navigating life's complexities.

  • "the dichotomy between atheism and religiosity doesn't always align neatly with a scientific versus non-scientific worldview. People and cultures can reject theistic explanations for a variety of reasons, not all of which are grounded in scientific reasoning."

    "'The percentage of atheists that are not statists are so small you can just ignore it completely.' If this was a valid argument you'll have problem with anything. Close to 98% of book-readers are statists. Close to 98% of gym members believe that taxes is price we pay for living in the society. The percentage of libertarians who are not in it for the drugs more money are so small you can just use the term 'libertarian' and 'hippie' interchangeably.
