Hey guys, I'm 19 and started getting into philosophy, economics, psychology, all that juicy good stuff about a year ago now. Naturally, learning so many new things and having my world turned upside down because of people like Stefan has led me to want to talk to my family and friends about it. My...

I have a long distance relationship with someone who lives in another state. He prefers IMs and live chat, but I don't much know how to really know a person over IM (I'm more used to email), and whenever we chat, it's mostly insubstantial things like recent events at home or simulating physical...

Stephen, My husband and I are both awake and honest (anarcho-capitalist thinking). We met at massage therapy school last fall, and now, less than a year of dating later, we are not only best friends but husband and wife. I suppose women with beliefs like mine are far and few in between. I'm sure...

E/I Microeconomics Positive social interactions generate psychological energy, while negative ones use it up. One way to understand the introvert/extrovert difference is to think in terms of where the energy (which behaves like money) is stored. Extroverts are not willing to have 1:1 encounters with...

The other day I was at the library walking past the audio books and noticed a familiar title - "On Truth". I immediately thought, "Wow! Stef's books are now in the public library!! That's fantastic!" But as I picked it up I noticed it was actually a book written by another...

Hello everyone. I am relatively new to the boards, but not the FDR philosophy. I've been listening since 2008 and donating since last year (working on catching up for the un-donated years of consumption, but I'm currently jobless and doing what I can). I'm hoping I can appeal to the highly...
