If you want to grow spiritually, should you go to a monastery and withdraw from the world, or look for greater meaning, connection, and purpose in the loud messiness of life?  In other words, do you heal the world by working in it or praying for it?

Stefan Molyneux responds to a listener's inquiry about the effectiveness of his philosophical framework, Universally Preferable Behavior (UPB), in addressing the challenges facing the West. Stefan clarifies that UPB is not a panacea but a rational construct requiring active engagement from individuals. He draws parallels between UPB and established scientific theories, emphasizing that it does not intrinsically change minds but serves as a basis for ethical reasoning. Stefan argues that UPB remains a robust framework for secular ethics, having withstood rigorous scrutiny over nearly two decades, asserting that some actions are universally non-preferable. Additionally, he discusss the necessity of a reasoned ethical system in an age driven by empirical evidence, contending that faith-based moralities cannot suffice. Ultimately, Stefan advocates for a commitment to spreading rational ethics and engaging in critical discussions as essential for fostering positive change.SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

What do Warren Buffett and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common? Why does Baruch Spinoza's understanding of irrational emotions help explain financial markets? How did Voltaire's success in a bond lottery arbitrage shape his writing? Can David Hume teach an investor when to buck the consensus and when to heed it?Exploring these questions and many others, Ethan A. Everett reveals the surprising lessons we can learn about investing from major philosophers. Demystifying ideas and texts that can often seem intimidating or irrelevant, he shows how philosophical concepts can be fruitfully applied to financial markets. Everett shares how philosophers' insights have informed his development as an investor, and he considers how great investors have embodied philosophical wisdom in their own endeavors.Ranging from the birth of modern securities markets in seventeenth-century Amsterdam to recent trends like meme stocks, this book shows why a philosophical perspective can prove invaluable to challenging common assumptions in finance. Thinkers like Spinoza or Baudrillard are sometimes envisioned as disembodied minds constructing opaque, self-enclosed theoretical systems, but Everett elegantly concretizes their teachings, brings them to bear on our lived experience of the world, and shows how they can help us better appreciate the joys and vicissitudes of the market.

"This is always the hardest one for me:: To what extent should we let people suffer the consequences of their actions?"This lecture examines the delicate balance between allowing individuals, particularly children, to experience the consequences of their actions and the instinct to protect them from harm.
