Episode Synopsis

Question 1: [1:26] - How do I approach my wife about being more choosy with the people that she chooses to associate with? While she has agreed to keep certain people away from our son, I am having trouble with her choices. While I do understand and support that she has the freedom to associate with pretty much whomever, some of her friends still bother me. Is this something that I need to work on within myself, or is it reasonable for me to have higher expectations of my wife?Question 2: [39:32] - I work with a customer acquisition company and in my daily interactions I speak with many people. Both in and out of my organization I've been approached by statists, theists - people I generally refer to as 'parasites', as their words and actions towards me create little but annoyance and apparent invitations to waste my time. I've been scolded and admonished by my team leaders because of the fact that I promote myself before my business, which basically means that I apply Real Time Relationships (RTR) in each of my interactions and, as to be expected, that a good number of people walk away. I feel that applying RTR is my prerogative as a human being/entrepreneur/free sovereign, however I would like to increase my client retention and wonder if perhaps I am not striking as healthy a balance as I could. I can pretty much boil down how most of these conversations go, so I'd like to run some by Stef and see what his advice would be as it pertains to my application of RTR as well as any ideas he might have as to how I could use RTR to my advantage in my team building?"Question 3: [1:22:01] - Is there a place for polygamy in our societies? You talk a lot about family structure and commitment to giving your own children a good future so I think that it's important to talk about why polygamy is illegal in most countries, what the reasons are and what it was like with polygamy in our societies. Is there a place for polygamy in the future when there's a scarcity of male adult providers?Question 4: [1:48:50] - I would love to discuss how we, as libertarians, can do a better job at reasoning with people of different belief systems. Libertarians share common ground with many different ideologies and we can use said shared beliefs to illuminate the issues present in the world. After reading "A Manual for Creating Atheists" by Dr. Peter Boghossian I think many of the strategies we use to try to reason with people about libertarian ideas and the non-aggression principle simply fail. How can we do a better job to save us all?
