4041 Wrong Because Dolphins! - Call In Show - March 25th, 2018

Question 1: [1:53] – “My research tells me that Determinism and Free Will must be compatible. If you agree then how is this accomplished? If not, then why can they not be compatible? In my opinion, humans are ordinary animals and have no special type of consciousness. If you agree then why do you say that other animals do not debate and simply process data while humans have something unique that is beyond data processing while debating?”Question 2: [39:21] – “I'm a 35-year-old American male living abroad in a Latin American country. I'm very grateful to my host nation for the opportunities it's afforded me. I speak the language and make a concerted effort to conform when out in public. However, I see that many of the locals here have worked illegally in the United States. In fact, many small businesses here earned the capital to start via illegal immigration. They were willing to work long hours at significantly lower wages in the US and disregard the consequences of bad credit, hospital bills, and other financial obstacles most American citizens cannot, because they could simply pack up and leave. They had a home nation to fall back on where US wages spent better and allowed them to advance further economically in ways Americans could not. “ “After having lived down here for several years, I no longer agree with America's de facto open-border policy. It seems lopsided in favor of developing economies and their citizens. I see now how their financial gain is at the direct expense of low-skilled American workers, and to make matters worse, because the American economy is in decay, many older Americans wishing to retire are being forced to leave and to take their savings, social security and other financial assets abroad. In fact, some countries down here openly encourage Americans to retire here. So first their citizens came to the US to earn wages and send home remittances, and now they are receiving the added benefit of the disposable income of American retirees. This may be great for them, but it's terrible for American interests. As a foreign national living abroad, does my current disagreement with relaxed immigration policies make me a hypocrite?”Question 3: [1:11:52] – “Stefan has mentions subjects as ‘red flags’ and also that childhood trauma can develop certain patterns in behavior or even deficiency in the brain which leads to certain behavior. He also has mentioned facts about promiscuity and how that decreases the chances of a successful marriage with a person who has had more partners in life. The reason I want to have this call is because recently my boyfriend broke up with me after 2.5 years and his arguments were: ‘You have too many red flags, Stefan Molyneux says this and that about this and that… so you are too much of a risk for me and I don’t want to continue and take this risk.’ If someone has the ‘red flags’ (childhood trauma, promiscuity, drugs, emotionally unstable) is it always going to be a risk? Is it possible to truly heal and be virtues or will it always be a risk at all time because you cannot change the past? Can a person with red flags ever get rid of the risks it creates by doing self-work or will it always be a risk despite? I really want to make better decisions in life about relationships. Stefan always says, why is everybody calling me afterwards? Well I try to call him beforehand and use his advice to make better decisions.”Question 4: [2:51:46] – "Should I as a father and husband be more concerned with the philosophy espoused in a community or engage with a community despite my reservations for the social wellbeing of my family? What is more important being free of philosophical fallacies even if that means not being a part of a local community or finding a community that I can halfway stomach to increase the social circle and support for my family despite the illogical or disingenuous teachings?"Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.
