Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

A question I missed answering 26 Jun 2024...

"Hi Stef. wondering if you can give me some advice on how to deal with a situation. My younger brother is about to marry (next April) a giant red flag. 3 months into the relationship, my other siblings and I warned him to get out before it was too late. He didn’t, they moved in together and now have 3 dogs. Now my husband and I are trying to figure out how to tell him we won’t be attending the wedding and do not want to raise our kids around her, and therefore him by association.

"It will kill my mother with family functions etc."

"I'm diagnosed with depression and neurasthenia and it's been like that for at least 10 years. 4 years with official diagnosis. I feel tired most of the time and I'm afraid of doing things because my energy recovers extremely slowly and I need that energy to function in my everyday life.
"I don't work and I feel like 8h workdays would make my life so miserable that I wouldn't see a point in living anymore because I'm so tired. I have had moments in my life where I'm just so tired that I think "I don't want to live anymore" but I also don't want to die.
"It's been a little better in the recent months but it's not gone. The doctors haven't been much help so I'm turning to you with my problem. How can I get rid on my neurasthenia and function like everybody else?"

Fingers crossed I'll be able to join my philosophy family today....quick question for ya Stefan.....Do selfish people even realize when they are being selfish? Do they see the plain truth when it's pointed out to them? why are people so clueless to their selfish acts and how it causes a cascade of events that otherwise could have been avoided....example maybe volunteering their time to help elderly parents out when they are doing nothing..but others have to step in bc they won't volunteer 🤔


Stef, I haven’t found a dedicated show or summation on disassociation. Was disassociation/self distraction something you have dealt with? Is it the same as procrastination, which of course you do have a classic solo show on! Thanks


How do you know when people are lying to you?

I'm doing a a volunteer work for people who are addicts.

How do I sniff out lies and manipulations from addicts to get the medication they want? How do I distinguish between a genuine request or an untruthful one?

Where is the best place to send our review(s) of the peaceful parenting book, you asked for feedback, but I'm not sure the best place to submit it.

I'm only a few chapters in, I like the content but my first impression is wow, 450 pages? I think it's too long for general consumption, if you want many people to finish this book, I suggest cutting it in half, or smaller...

You are great with analogies, but I think there are too many, at least in the first few chapters. The purples analogy isn't great to me, I don't think it's captivating to the audience. Keep up the analogies where they are strong, but cut ones that aren't captivating.

Thanks for your work.

- I think the purples analogy is really useful, especially for any normies that decide to pick up the book.


I'm curious what "peaceful-leaning" parenting methods you might have investigated/reviewed when working on your book or forming your parenting philosophy. E.g., "Parenting with Love and Logic", "Grace Based Parenting", "Trust-Based Relational Intervention" ( https://child.tcu.edu/about-us/tbri) (this one is more focused on helping kids from traumatic backgrounds, but has lots of broadly-applicable teachings), etc. Thanks for your work on this!


Hey Stef, advice for someone who’s 28, still living with parents and not much dating experience in adulthood. no post secondary education and mostly been working as service Tech and industrial type jobs making around 23-26$(in Alberta) at best but feel like I have more potential but I keep procrastinating and have daily weed habit.
