Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

This change empowers women to raise children independently, altering traditional family dynamics and mate selection. We discuss socio-economic factors shaping family structures and critique the divisive nature of the 'woke' movement, emphasizing its impact on societal discourse.

This lecture examines the strategies for overcoming negative emotions through two main theories: the theory of stimulus and the theory of opposites. The speaker discusses how external factors can influence emotional well-being, emphasizing the need to identify and eliminate negative stimuli from one's environment. Personal anecdotes illustrate the impact of unsupportive relationships on issues like depression and social anxiety. Transitioning to the theory of opposites, the speaker advocates for actions that counteract past negative experiences, promoting growth and independence. Practical strategies for applying these theories are offered, encouraging listeners to assess their influences and reclaim their emotional power. The lecture concludes with an empowering message about the journey of emotional healing, highlighting the importance of self-awareness and deliberate actions for personal growth.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedMy friend who listens to your show often recommended me to talk to you. I've seen videos and read your book. I am stuck on the treadmill of life. My wife got pregnant while we were 18 with my son. We got married and life has been hard ever since. Early 30s, 5 ft 10, dark hair/eyes, fit lean build, young looking TL;DR I feel like a pathetic loser and single father. I know I'll be bitter forever but can't bring myself to finally leave her. None of my family/friends know other than 1 friend. Talked to lawyers. All of her friends/family/client's know. I see them and am ashamed. I have the lowest self respect ever. She has been berating me years. She won't let me lead in any aspect. I have no frame. Why am I like this? Do I think I had my shot so now I need to take care of my sons? I don't want to see my kid's half as often? Is it because I've never been with another girl? Do I worry about her finding a new man or I won't find a new girl? How can I look my sons in the eye and tell them I wasn't strong enough to do what I recommend for them? She says she loves me. I love her, but this seems really unhealthy. Where is my masculine desire to leave? Am I the problem? Is she? Does she have BPD? Backstory timeline: High school, sophomore year. Ask her to be my gf immediately after she broke up with her boyfriend, she ended it the next day. It was because she was fooling around with her ex. Time goes by, we start dating. Our relationship is constant drama and roller coaster of emotions. We were both jealous of any interaction with the opposite sex. She got pregnant Junior year but she miscarried. We still dated and she gets pregnant my first semester in college when I was thinking of breaking up with her. We got married, lived with family for the first while with my son and then got an apartment. I had been bouncing around between part time jobs while going to school and she started her own company doing aesthetics. Mainly eyelashes. I did poor in school. Hadn't grown up and wasn't being a man. She goes to Aesthetic school and we both work evenings. The cycle repeats of me getting a new job every year only to increase pay slightly and inching towards my degree. She continued with Aesthetics. Have another son. She had been inappropriately chatting with a friend of ours. She moves out and tells me we need some time apart and strings me along. We start going to counseling. I think this can work. She starts seeing change in me. I asked her about any cheating which she lied about and I believed. She tells me about cheating on me. I'm furious but still attend counseling. I'm done. Planning for divorce mentally. Checked out from the relationship. We find out she's pregnant (with my kid) and decide we can make it work. She wants to stop counseling (but not tell the counselor she's pregnant.) I move into her apartment and shortly thereafter she has a stillborn birth at 26 weeks. We buy a house together and fix it up before moving in. She starts giving off hints that she doesn't think our relationship will work. She decides to try and make it work but in order to do so she needs to tell the truth. She tells me that the guy is a friend of mine. She saw him. They kissed. She tells me we only got back together because pregnant. I'm mad, sleep downstairs, cut ties with multiple friends. She says she will do whatever it takes to make it work. Time goes by. I get a full time job and am still in school. She is pregnant with my 3rd son.She finds out I've been looking at porn. Get kicked out of house. Live with parents. I move back in. Get a full time salaried position making more than I've ever made by a decent amount. Graduate with a degree in IS. Last year shortly before summer she tells me she wants to get a divorce. Our relationship is a constant cycle, I don't try to get a better job, We don't make enough money, She thinks she's better off without me. I try to become Superman. I go to counseling&coaching. I try to become a better father/man. Work on my career. Be better in every aspect. I'm checked out from the relationship. At my birthday dinner she says she wants to make it work AGAIN. While thinking/planning I'm just sitting in limbo not making a decision. Things start looking up. Relationship is better than ever. Closer than ever. Spend time together. Help each other. Tells me she loves me more than ever. Cries because our sex is so good. A few months ago she went to a concert with a girlfriend. Got blackout drunk, ended up kissing a random guy in a parking garage. She says I should leave her. At the time I didn't really care. What's one more on the record? I had been consuming red pill content over the past year and a half. We find out our toddler is Autistic. Therapy/school is expensive. We talk, she starts being better. Says she loves me. I contact lawyer. I left out some things due to word restriction.

Our conversation examines the historical context of truth-telling versus social acceptance, particularly regarding gender dynamics, where men often suppress independent thought for validation. Listeners will hear reflections on familial relationships and the struggle for closure after long-standing grievances. I challenge the notion of reconciliation when it arrives too late to make a difference. We also tackle contemporary issues, like public reluctance to confront societal truths and the implications of our attitudes towards wealth and billionaires, highlighting how societal narratives can influence our moral responsibilities.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedTopic : Examining how my life choices led to childless at 30 Topic Detail: I started listening to your show at age 20; I was already dead-set on my desire to get married and have children but my commitment to having kids was significantly amplified by listening to your show and becoming aware of the birth rate decline epidemic. I was ideologically committed to the idea of having kids not only to carry on western values through my progeny but also as a part of my biological destiny; I considered my fertility to be a sacred gift that should not be wasted. 20 year old me would be absolutely horrified to know that 30 year old me is childless and unmarried. I was in a 5 year relationship from age 20-25 that imploded just before our nascent engagement; the end of that relationship has left me in a 5 year wilderness of confusion, guilt, and self hatred. I am evaluating the role that my upbringing has had on my life choices, questioning deeply how I was raised, and fighting back against an extremely toxic anti-natalist culture. Sadly I have even encountered anti-natalism from my own family: grandparents, parents, and aunts are pressuring me to surrender my ambitions to have children. Even the Christian community has been unsupportive of what I consider to be my biological destiny and I’ve never felt so betrayed in all of my life. I wake up every day confused about how I ended up childless and unmarried at 30, going over and over in my mind the actions and decisions I made that led me to ruin my life, but I just can’t make sense of it. I struggle to compose a coherent narrative that makes sense of the last 10 years of my life, I am hoping that Stefan can help me cut through the fallacies I am holding onto so that I can understand my own story. Although it’s too late for me to be saved, I’m hoping that my story can be a warning to other young women so that they can avoid the mistakes that I made.
