Hi Stef, regarding marriage I was wondering how you built a happy marriage without having successful examples to follow?
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question knowing what you've said in the past but are you going to use your Twitter account?
Has a caller/debate opponent ever changed your mind about something ?
If so, what did they help change your mind about ?
How do I confront my often verbally abusive dad about mistakes that I think he made as a parent when the response will be more verbal abuse?
What do you think of Bergson's statement that democracy is the only system compatible with dignity but has a small flaw... Doesn't promote meritocracy? (Hope I didn't distort too much)

If love is our involuntary response to virtue (if we are virtuous), does this also apply to parental love? If so, what virtues do children display to make a parent love them?
Is it acceptable under peaceful parenting to take a toy from your child to pay a debt they owe for being badly behaved?
For me, the concept of soulmate doesn't mean "no conflicts". It just means they are the most compatible partner—they're still going to trigger your fears like no other, because you're really getting close to someone and the stakes are the highest possible
yes! this is has big a big problem in my house. my wife always pulls the "I'm not getting paid" card
Hey Stef, are females and males equally propagandized? I’m curious if there’s biological basis.
If unrealistic expectations are harmful to longterm relationships, does this include the idea of romance? What are your thoughts on the concept of romance and its relationship to virtue if any.
In order for a model of virtue to be underst
