    EP. 15 Good Reasons To Stop Watching Porn

    Obviously don't listen to this around your children you freaks.Porn is something a lot of people don't even realize they're addicted to like a drug, some are aware of this and struggle with it immensely. I am here to talk about some reasons why it's a good idea to give it up.Giving up porn was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life besides quitting drinking, however I think it was quitting porn that was the catalyst for quitting drinking and other low level forms of compulsive behavior I struggled with.The titanic dopamine release you get from watching strangers having sex on a screen is very unnatural. Don't forget how new to humans this is, to be able to pull an unlimited supply of pleasure out of your pocket. Not to mention it's a screen...The novelty is endless which is why it's so gnarly. You can always find something new and even more intense than from what you were viewing during your last sesh. So yes, porn induced fetishes area thing. If you struggle with not being able to get it up, or not being able to finish, porn is most likely your problem. It gives you unrealistic expectation in the real world and can contribute to not being able to enjoy a real and flawed body. In my experience I have stopped consciously "sextualizing" everything all day long and feel much more free as a result. Everything from how it can effect your relationship to your manhood, I touch on in this episode, so don't get turned on. Visit http://inspiredbyfire.org/ for recommended reading and travel gallery.

    EP. 14 The Anti-Utopian

    This is that quicky I was telling you about!Simply put, no one knows what's best for the world and for humanity. The most unnecessary problems in the world are a direct result of people thinking they do. Humans are nature too, the evilest person you can think of is just as much a natural phenomena as the ocean or a volcano. Just because we aren't rooted in the ground like a plant does not mean we are not connected.Utopia is an experience, an experience an individual can have that comes and goes. Whether that be having a child, accomplishing a goal, enjoying the sunshine at the park, or expanding your mind. Utopia is NOT a possible permanent state of humanity. Any attempt to forcibly correct humans and the errors of their ways by force is an attempt to correct mother nature herself, even though, that would mean the attempt to correct humans would be her doing too.. What a trip right?!?! No need to be confused. Look, the point is, the best way to help this world is to improve yourself as an individual, this has more of an effect than you realize and truly radiates into the universe. I'm sure you have heard the saying: Be the change you want to see in the world, do this, and you will without a doubt have a positive impact on those around you, set a good example, this chain continues, and you will change the world for the better.

    EP. 13 Questioning The Morality of Total Equality

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 20, 2020 20:05


    Howdy humans, In today's episode we will be taking a deeper look at what it actually means to be equal. For many reasons, morality and Idealism belong to those who advocate total equality for all. Many argue about the detrimental economic effects of socialist policies but it's not as often the case for morality since most assume that they at least have good intentions. Today I want to point out that it is our diversity and uniqueness that makes us human in the first place. There are too many real differences to mention, such as, differences in skills, ambitions, heights, weights, desires, goals, looks, ways of thinking, etc that display how any attempt to "correct" this is inherently anti-human. Especially when done by using the arm of the state. Any and all attempts at total equality (Communism) has resulted in arguably the most horrific human atrocities in modern history.

    Greetings from Vietnam! and welcome to the Inspired By Fire Podcast. In today's episode, we will be going over social media and why today is my last day mindlessly scrolling through a never-ending whirlpool of "don't forget about me today" posts. It is something I have gone back and forth with now for some years. Knowing I felt better when it wasn't in my pocket I still found myself going back later down the road after significant time off. Well, I'm done yet again. This isn't an episode trying to convince you why you should too, I am just sharing my thoughts about why I came to the conclusion to LET IT GO.

    Ahoy! In today's episode we will be discussing the trap that alcohol creates in ones life. This is something I have struggled with for some years now but after about five months of sobriety (still have a long way to go) I can attest for some of the positive changes that occur when quitting this drug. This is not an episode preaching about how you should quit drinking. I simply want to share my experience about the best decision I have ever made in my life and hopefully get anyone who may be sober-curious to think more about how this is nothing but a positive change. So in today's talk we go over a little bit about my history with drinking, the reason for quitting, things I have noticed along the way that sealed the deal more than ever, the negative effects it has in ones life, and of course the positive change it's had in my life.

    EP. 10 The State, The Market, and Poverty

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 5, 2020 19:37


    Getting into yet again another tangled subject, in episode 10 of Inspired By Fire we analyze the human condition, poverty. The human ability to escape it through free markets and how the state has the legal ability to route the evolution of the economy for its own benefit. Most have been taught that the state saved capitalism from itself using progressive law but this couldn't be further from the truth. History actually shows this to be the time of connection between corporation and big government cartelizing industries to further imperial interests at home and abroad, the antitheses of free market capitalism.Too many have voluntarism, capitalism and free markets confused with "cronyism" and "mercantilism" which are more appropriate terms for the way the United States and many other governments in the world are run. In this episode I want to shed a bit of light on how the blame is in the wrong place. Hollywood movies and the corporate press project an image that business and entrepreneurship is the root of all evil, when actually it's state policy that is the red thread that runs through the many aspects of unnecessary suffering in the world.Check out https://inspiredbyfire.org/ for the latest episodes, travel gallery and recommended books.
