Question 1: I’m a former entrepreneur who is currently a stay at home father while my wife earns a living. I’m feeling increasingly frustrated, am generally unhappy and my self-confidence has fallen to the point where I don’t know if I could run a successful business even if the opportunity presented itself. Do you have any thoughts on my wife and I can improve my happiness?Question 2: I was fired from my job of nine years and since then I've been going from one low paying entry-level job to another. I have a useless degree, recently turned thirty and I feel like I'm stuck. How can I improve my situation?Question 3: Given that socially funded research is demonstrably the best method for advancing technology and technology is the leading factor in improving the overall standard of living, how could removing the state not be viewed as detrimental to the progression of mankind?Question 4: I recently started dating a women who I think will be a good parent for various reasons, but I ran into some potential red flags that I think may become problematic during post-child rearing phase of life. What do you think is a good approach for drawing the line between satisfying own desires vs. satisfying the evolutionary biological imperative of creating more smarter and peaceful generation of kids?
