  • Been listening for 7+ years

    I discovered Stefan’s podcast through a friend back when he was still on YouTube. I was hooked into the truth about series that he would do. I am a Christian woman and his podcast coupled together with my faith has really given me a perspective of self improvement that I never got growing up.

    One of the biggest wakeup moments I had, was after listening to a podcast he did after the obnoxious women’s march occurred where women were walking through the streets with pu*** hats on screaming about m... more

  • Update review from Gen Z critic of post 1950 social change in US

    I grew up in a very blue west coast state. In and out of public & private Christian schools. Come from a educated family. Traveled to 90% of American states. Went to community college and immediately began questioning state funded narratives. Then COVID happened! After friends and I had rejected many of the ideologies our peers were falling for the Russia Ukraine conflict in 2022 seemingly made Covid disappear overnight! Needless to say I was destined to end up listening to shows & reading books... more

  • Makes me want to be a better human

    You don’t have to agree 100% with everything Stef says, but his ability to lead a life based on principles which he examines over and over gives a great guideline for how we can be better humans by controlling the things we can control and holding ourselves accountable for our life decisions.

  • Honesty about breakdown of the nuclear family

    They will label anyone a pejorative today that advocates for any traditionalism and honor. Stefan is more culturally Christian and more accurate about moral truths than many church attendees today. Telling the sad truth about the main reasons for the collapse of empires.

  • Disgusting & completely ignorang

    The sheer amount of misogyny, ignorance, and thinking you have an interesting opinion when it is actually idiotic slop, is unbearable after 1 episode. You should get a life and a clue and attempt to educate yourselves - but definitely get off a podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

6512 Why I Do What I Do!
Q: Isn't it similar to the idea of religion, a faith in a future which motivates your actions in the now?
He argues philosophy should be lived and applied, not just held as a belief; ethics can be secularly grounded and practiced in everyday life, including parenting and public discourse.
6493 Make Me Abandon ETHICS! Listener Questions
Q: Is it possible for a machine to actually know things or just process code?
The host dismisses machine sentience, arguing that computers lack consciousness, dreams, intuition, and a genuine second brain, and that what computers do is process information rather than possess true knowledge or understanding.
6493 Make Me Abandon ETHICS! Listener Questions
Q: What would lead you to abandon UPB as a proof of secular ethics?
Only if UPB were proven self-contradictory or contradicted by compelling evidence showing greater freedom and well-being under central planning than under the free market; otherwise, UPB is held as universally preferable, with ongoing openness to critique and revision.
6493 Make Me Abandon ETHICS! Listener Questions
Q: Next question. You remove the power. Don't ask people to do it better, especially when sometimes they can.
The host argues that simply asking those in power to improve is insufficient, because a system built on coercive force tends to operate in ways that undermine virtue; the remedy lies in structural changes and philosophical commitments that minimize coercion and rely on voluntary, rational ethics.
6488 The REAL Lindsay Clancy! X/Twitter Livestream
Q: How do you navigate disagreements with people close to you, especially when there are strong beliefs involved?
Step-by-step, listen first, ask clarifying questions, and use reason and evidence to evaluate disagreements. If the other person remains closed, it may be best to acknowledge the difference and move on rather than escalating conflict.
