Question 1: [2:06] – “I am struggling with my attempt to avoid the public school system while it finances are tight. I have been a stay-at-home mom for five years raising a hyper soon to be six year old boy and a kind four year old girl. As of last month our finances have become strained, and we unexpectedly are carrying two mortgages. Our plans to place both children in private school may have to be cancelled. My plan to only be at work while kids are at the school, may have to change to me working full time hours and kids moving from school to after care. I am very frugal with the money I spend; I feel my husband is more of a spender than I am, but there are certain expenses he is unwilling to cut. What more can I sacrifice to truly put my kids first? How can convey to my husband that we both don't need to be chasing finances, while finances are tight?”Question 2: [1:11:20] – “I work for a supplier that deals in electronics selling to large manufacturers. Recently this year I was told by a corporate purchasing manager that there is nothing she can do to maintain our business relationship as my company is not woman owned or classified as a diversity supplier. My contacts with this company run into the thousands worldwide, and the director who I was speaking with has a great deal of unchecked power. The company is a technology company, and I have worked with many women over my 23-year career all of whom are professional and have not harbored the least scrap of negativity toward me in my work, and I assume are assets to their teams. This perhaps is the greatest challenge to me in my career, we can always get a new customer and shame on me for creating a living off a multi-million-dollar account having kept most of my eggs in one basket. What does a man who works for a white male owned company do when his best fortune 50 customer says we no longer want to work with you because the company you work for is not classified as a diversity source?”Question 3: [1:44:09] – “I have laid out an argument that the concept of ‘identity’ is logically invalid or meaningless within the domain of human being. I also have an argument that the contradiction of ‘identity’ is significant because it sets the conditions necessary for the initiation of violence against people; thus, violating the Non-Aggression Principle.”Question 4: [2:13:45] – “I am a former Antifa-style anarchist. In 2011, I was part of the Occupy movement, but in 2016 I voted for Trump after a long and difficult intellectual journey from radical Leftism to Conservatism. My hope now is to help other people trapped in the Radical Left to de-hypnotize themselves. Do you have any thoughts on how to do this, or any advice on how to transition back into society?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [1:47] – “Why is the correct use of definitions important, and in which ways can it be used for ill intent?”Question 2: [11:00] – “I am a 21-year old jazz musician and play music at a very high level for my age. However, I happen to hold a number of political views which run counter to the mainstream ideology of the jazz community. The community is rather small, interconnected, and for the most part politically homogenous, so if word got out that I don't support Black Lives Matter for example, my future as a musician could be permanently ruined. Inevitably I will be forced to either lie about my views, or tell the truth and forever become an evil racist in the eyes of my peers. Is telling the truth always the best option, even at the expense of a lifetime of career opportunities?”Question 3: [34:16] – “I am a Christian who believes in God and has had several very deep and profound spiritual experiences including speaking in tongues, involuntary shaking, feeling ‘the love of God’ pulsate throughout my body in waves, strangers speaking things to me as if it were God speaking to me, etc. I fully acknowledge that I am unable to reasonably defend my faith against arguments such as ‘there is no empirical evidence of God’, ‘the bible is full of contradictions’, etc. but I find myself still drawn to the faith and have no desire to leave it. With everything else in my life, I look to evidence, reason, and data except for this one thing which oddly enough is the one thing that gives me a deep sense of peace, comfort, and joy. Am I, therefore, unreasonable to hold these seemingly contradictory positions?”Question 4: [1:31:00] – “On September 6th, 1996, my mother was murdered. To this day the case remains unsolved. The same goes for every day of my life since then. For the past 20 years I have felt like I have been wandering the earth aimlessly. I have managed to do the ‘normal’ things like marriage (and subsequent divorce) and children but I have lacked the drive and focus needed to achieve the goals I had once set for myself. Throughout my adult life I have always felt like no matter what I do I can never seem to outrun my past. It's like I can feel, and I believe in my heart, that there is something great out there for me and that hope alone is what has kept me motivated to keep going through all of the things that seem to get dumped on my plate on what seems like a daily basis. How much truth is there to the idea that my past is controlling my future and what thought processes can I use to overcome the things that have happened to me and shed these chains?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

Question 1: [1:39] – “Most other atheists seem to me to be liberal because they want the government to take care of them like a god. You have values that seem to align with Christian views without the idea of being held accountable after you die. What makes you different?”Question 2: [33:37] – “As a political fascist I believe in a regulated market. How does a proponent of the 'free market' justify the free market when it has been shown (mass) man is easily swayed by his desires, primitive urges, and passions; top that off with the reality of corporations willingness to take advantage of that fundamental reality no matter the cost to society or civilization.”Question 3: [1:31:38] – “As a Chinese American who grew up in Hong Kong and in the California area. I have a unique perspective of the world. People in America don't usually view me as an American and people in China don't usually view me as full Chinese. My heart says I belong to both places equally since I have family (genetic and step) on both sides of the ocean. As I think about the future and having my own family, I'm confused with what to teach my child. I don't want my child to grow up only in America because of the general lack of values, manners, history and morality especially in the neighborhood I grew up in. There is no trust or common ground with random strangers in public. This is what my father was concerned about and he brought me back to Hong Kong to grow up first so I can learn and understand my heritage, the language, culture and values. I have peers who have lost all ties with the old country, know little of their heritage, and speak only in English. Am I supposed to follow the same footsteps of my father's if I want future posterity to not be lost with no identity, common understanding, and acceptance from peers?”Question 4: [2:00:17] – “I am 27 years old. I am very successful in my career and life in general is pretty great for me. Many of my friends have had children and my brother and sister-in-law have a young daughter. At this point in time I really have no desire for a relationship or children. I have been watching a lot of Stefan's videos and I feel that if I wait too long to have children, I'll be missing out on something huge in life. 20 years from now, if my mindset changes, I'll feel regret, and it will be too late to change things. Knowing the divorce rate and the state of modern relationships, the risk and loss side of the equation vastly outweigh the benefits of having a family or children. If someone feels no desire for a relationship or children, is this something to try to fix? What can I tell myself to make the laborious, frustrating, and potentially painful process look more alluring?”Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
