Freedomain with Stefan Molyneux

"Why do some people go through life without significant and meaningful goals? I have a friend who is 41 in a few months and she has no savings and no real dreams. I know she wants a domestic life and wanted a family at one point, but things didn’t work out with the guy she was in love with and now she’s living very casually, like a young adult. I’m 34 and I’ve been trying to get my life together. I’ve got some savings and I’m being persistent about my goals. My friend recently returned from travelling and I lent her $ because she was completely without a dollar to her name. I noticed that since then she has been a bit resentful towards me, she in some way feels entitled to help from me but I can’t help her anymore. She tells herself that the reason she isn’t well is that people won’t help her, but they do and she never has enough resources to help anyone else. I’ve reflected on it and I’ve realized that her problem is she doesn’t really want anything for herself or others with passion. There isn’t anything meaningful that drives her forward in life, she is aimless. I worry that as time goes by it will be more difficult for her to avoid her own lack of motivation by relying on the sympathy of others. She is very intelligent and creative. Great language skills and very quick to learn new skills. It appears the only thing holding her back is a mental construct. How can she find passion for a goal that will incentivize her to accumulate resources and an independent sense of security? What will happen if she doesn’t?"

"I have a really rough relationship with my girlfriend. We've been together for 12 years. We have two sons, five and nine.

"For a while now, we are living almost separated, like I was in a separate bedroom and we had very little interaction compared to how it should be, I think.

"We went for counseling like three times. Every time, we would go for three or five sessions. We then would stop going because we would say, 'okay, this is a little bit better, let's continue by ourselves.' But a year later it would we'd be back there again. Around six months ago I think I figured out what was bothering my wife. I'm calling her my wife because people call us husband and wife. We have one house, cars, kids, you know all that how it's supposed to be in marriage..."

"What do you think of First Amendment auditors, people who film in public areas of government facilities like police stations and post offices? I've been enjoying your novel, The Present, a lot, and thinking how long in my small town it will take for the government's authority to be ignored by the majority."

"You can't compare bosses and husbands, because at work you get paid for your work and you get work experience that helps you get another job if you get fired. With husbands youre working a full time job and getting no money for your own savings and no work experence in case your husband gets bored and leaves"

"My wife and I have two children. We're expecting our third. We want to have as many as we can. We're both in our 20s, and I want to make sure I'm doing as much as I can to correctly raise them peacefully and also not mess them up. My childhood was pretty good, but that's the main thing, as far as peaceful ways of disciplining them if they're just blatantly disobedient."

Answers to Locals questions:

"How would you define cerebral, and how is cerebral different from intellectual?"

"How do you arbitrate? I would, for example, consider it humiliating and depressing to marry a statist. But if I take the same attitude with every relationship, I will have no relationships! How do you navigate making friends, coworkers, dates, and FOO relationships with people when the norm is irrational and immoral?"
