Why do we have the Left and the Right?

And why do we never see eye to eye?

The philosophies of the Left and the Right aren’t new - they’ve popped up again and again throughout history.

They’re not a modern invention - they’re part of human nature.

In this video, I’ll break down the hidden philosophies of the Left and the Right.

I’ll talk about what each side believes and what’s important to each. And why we almost never agree on anything.

In the video I talk about:

* Thomas Sowell's constrained vs. unconstrained visions

* Jonathan Haidt's moral foundations theory

* Personality differences between liberals and conservatives

One of the tragedies of our time is how young men have been taught that their masculinity is toxic.

We’re constantly bombarded with the message that traditional masculine virtues are somehow dangerous.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

In this video, I dig into why we need strong, responsible men in our society and how the toxic masculinity narrative is leaving boys without the role models they desperately need.

I’ll break down why fathers are essential for healthy children, how men have shaped the world we live in, and why it’s time we start appreciating men’s contributions instead of undermining them.

If you’ve ever felt aimless or discouraged, this video is for you. It’s time to rethink what we’re telling boys about what it means to be a man.

Woke culture isn't just some passing trend or a punchline about purple-haired activists.

It's a dangerous ideology that's infiltrating everything-our schools, universities, corporations, and governments.

If we don't wake up to what's really going on, the values that built Western society are at risk of being completely torn apart.

In this video, we're going to take a deep dive into where wokeism came from, tracing it back to Marxism, postmodernism, and other critical theories that laid the foundation for the chaos we see today.

We'll explore how ideas like "diversity, equity, and inclusion" aren't as harmless as they sound, and how these woke doctrines are used to manipulate us into silence.

More importantly, we'll talk about what we're fighting for-the values that made the West great: reason, individual freedom, and a belief in objective truth.

If you're ready to really understand the woke mind virus and how to stand up to it, then let's dive in.

Understanding your personality is one of the most important steps in building a life that aligns with who you are.

When you understand your strengths, you can lean into them and create a life that feels more effortless and fulfilling.

At the same time, becoming aware of your blind spots helps you avoid repeating the same mistakes and consciously develop weaker areas.

This video dives into the Big Five personality traits—extroversion, agreeableness, neuroticism, conscientiousness, and openness—offering a deep look at how these traits shape your life.

We explore the neurological and evolutionary basis of each trait and discuss how understanding where you fall on these spectrums can help you thrive.

You’ll learn why extroverts seek stimulation from social interactions while introverts prefer solitude, and why people high in agreeableness are empathetic but may struggle with boundaries.

We also look at how neuroticism is tied to emotional reactivity, why conscientiousness predicts success, and how openness drives creativity and exploration.

Whether you’re highly extroverted or deeply introverted, emotionally stable or prone to stress, understanding your personality can help you design a life that works for you.

If you’re curious to explore your own personality and develop both your strengths and weaknesses, this video is for you.

In today's episode, I dive deep into the fascinating world of Internal Family Systems (IFS) with returning guest Seth Allison.

We explore Richard Schwartz's groundbreaking book "No Bad Parts," tracing the history and development of IFS, particularly its origins with eating disordered patients, and the paradigm shift it introduces away from a mono-mind approach.

We delve into the core components of IFS, exploring the distinct roles of Exiles, Firefighters, and Protectors. According to IFS - there are no bad parts, only bad roles. To make it more personal, I share my initial encounter with IFS and the profound impact it had on me.

Join me as Seth Allison guides me through an insightful IFS session, as I meet and interact with an internal Protector.
