    Episode 662: Keeping the peace (standing up to female bullies)

    2026/10/02 | 10 mins.
    Constantly trying to manage your partner's feelings does not lead to peace. Emotional externalizers turn relationships into imbalanced systems – and assertive boundaries are required to resist their sway. However, this might be difficult given the relationship models many men extrapolate as children. Ultimately, men must understand that keeping the peace does not mean catering to women's whims, but standing up to female bullies.

    Episode 661: Reasonable doubt (Lindsay Clancy)

    2026/09/28 | 11 mins.
    In this episode, I discuss whether the evidence supports reasonable doubt about Lindsay Clancy's mental state at the time of the murders. I also examine the diagnoses involved, questioning whether they can legitimately establish what medical professionals should have known beforehand. While certainty may be impossible, the case raises a crucial question: when does skepticism become reasonable?

    Episode 660: I can't tell you what to do (a structural problem)

    2026/09/25 | 8 mins.
    In this episode, I discuss the structural problem at the heart of all advice meant for mass consumption. Generalities are broadly true but difficult to apply, while specifics are actionable but often irrelevant or counterproductive. This is why I can't tell you what to do in a YouTube video. Good judgment is ultimately the ability to apply the right principle to the right situation.

    Episode 659: Never her fault (Lindsay Clancy)

    2026/09/21 | 13 mins.
    Can depression or psychosis be invoked to erase responsibility? The support for Lindsay Clancy indicates that some people believe it is never her fault. Using examples from her supporters, this episode explores the balance between compassion for mental illness, personal accountability, and the duty to protect others from foreseeable risks. When medical explanations become excuses, the entire justice system is threatened.

    Episode 658: The five hard conversations (preventing divorce)

    2026/09/19 | 11 mins.
    The five hard conversations reveal major relationship incompatibilities before they become deeply entrenched and may collectively be one of the best tools for preventing divorce. Every serious couple needs to talk about sex, money, children, politics/religion, and in-laws. The goal isn't perfect alignment, but recognition of which differences can be negotiated – and which are better revealed before you build a life together.
