Fraudulent Buddhists? Locals Questions Answered
"I’m visiting Thailand in April. As I am doing my research about the country and Buddhism, I have come across a practice that seems to me to be unjust and morally questionable.
"The Monks who had all the time in the world figured out that they could charge the tourist visitors significantly higher prices for visiting the temples, compared to the local visitors.
"I know I will have an opportunity to speak with Big Boss Monk and I am going to confront him about this issue.
"Can you help me please bring some clarity to this concern? What would be the best respectful approach and arguments against in my view theft? How would a free society deal with price discrimination? Am I even in the right position or they have all the means to charge what they want?"
"Hi Stefan, in one of your shows you mentioned that being a commodity to your family was a great pleasure.
"Sometimes, not always though, I feel the opposite as being the provider can be quite draining, constantly putting in and the feeling of getting less out personally (selfishly) from my perspective. I know this is not true as my wife and children give me much joy, work the home and local business. They do surprise me with the love and appreciation they give me. Also when looking at what we've achieved and built together and the involvement of the kids through home schooling in the whole process is a great privilege.
"Why do you think this feeling and thought creeps up from time to time in the male provider mind? This feeling that you give and give for others to flourish, saving for the future, protecting and preparing. Yet I feel neglected in the process?
"Is it just a selfishness that comes through or is there legitimacy in the feeling that a male should address or discuss with his family?
"Would love some philosophical insight into this thought and feeling of the male perspective.
"Thanks and much appreciated,
"PS. My wife feels the same way some days; educating, feeding, cleaning, managing, driving up and down and assisting the community.
"Just the roles we have I suppose."

Stop Being So 'Kind'!
25 February 2024 Sunday Morning Live
"Why do you think covetting one of the Ten Commandments? Why is it high enough of a priority to list among murder, theft or adultery?"
"Don't need a long answer but I'm curious. On episode 5417 why did you say that leading a moral life is ups and downs? I would think it’s an exponential curve- difficult for a while and then massive benefits."
"Stef, is it also a good argument to make that there's no point in debating people who would try to dismiss property rights by using instances like the bread example because at that point we are no longer in the realm of rational discourse. Would a society that follows UPB really have this problem? Is this bread problem really what is getting in the way of someone accepting that rape, assault, murder and theft are wrong? If so, no logic can help them."
"To what degree do you personally care about status?"

Sexless Marriage!
"I've been married for about 17 years. We've never really had a good way of resolving conflict in the marriage.
"I remember a specific conflict right after we were married, shortly after we started living together. We were both raised conservative Christians and didn't have sex before marriage, didn't live together.
"I don't remember the details, but I do remember distinctly thinking to myself: 'There's no way out. I tried to make my case, but it was as if what I said didn't actually matter.'"

World Full of Idiots?
"The Secular model does not have God in it, so it also does not have soul, nor conscience and freewill either, since those are embedded in soul. However, in reality conscience and freewill clearly exist. Therefore, the secular model is clearly false, fake and gay. Apart from that, one reason Christianity is superior to philosophy is that idiots can't understand philosophy, and the world is mostly idiots."

My Girlfriend Doubts Philosophy! Freedomain Call In
"My question is about my relationship with my girlfriend. I am in this place in my life where I've never been. I have a lovely girlfriend. I think I very much appreciate her and feel like she's a very, very valuable person in my life. However, I'm not sure that she is the one for me, like the one that we should live 80 years together, bring kids together. I want many kids. She wants kids, but not as many, because I'm not sure that she shares the values that I so much value."

When to Drop "Friendships"
"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?"

Greedy Mother, Greedy Wife! Freedomain Call In
"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..."

How Decadence Happens...
Locals Questions answered!
"What do you think of First Amendment auditors, people who film in public areas of government facilities like police stations and post offices?
