Episode Synopsis

Question 1: [1:40] - “I've been thinking the past couple of years about becoming a single mother by Choice (I know, all single mothers are by choice or at least by a string of bad choices, but I see this as an examined, purposeful choice) I saw your videos about single moms and they really have my wheels turning - what other things should I be considering in this decision? I'm sure there are things I haven't yet considered.”“A little about me and my situation: I'm 31, finishing my undergraduate degree in two weeks, and will be going on to grad school this fall. In two years I'll have a Master's degree, and would wait a couple years after that before trying to have a child. I've wanted to have a child for several years yet have no desire to be in a long term romantic relationship. I've struggled a while with that but finally came to the realization that I'm aromantic - but that doesn't decrease my desire to have and raise a child. I think that as long as I wait until I'm in a stable place in life and go about it ethically, being single shouldn't exclude me from having a child. I'll be financially self-sufficient and won't have a string of surrogate fathers in the child's life. I would love to hear your perspective on this subject.”Question 2: [51:32] - “I’m coming from the USSR and seeing our family’s property been confiscated twice due to the success and the jealousy of the people around you. We have a saying in Russia ‘tell everyone you are doing bad otherwise they will steal it from you.’ I feel like a lot of young people out there have no idea what the socialism is and how bad it could be for the entire civilization. I feel emotionally drained every time I fight people around trying to prove them wrong and I feel like all the fighting is taking me away from my personal freedom or goals; how can I line up my goals along with helping people see what a true nightmare socialism is?”Question 3: [1:29:34] - “In a free market, what should be the limits of what you can own, as to maximize liberty? With the abolishment of slavery, we understood that human life should not be subject to propertization. Does this extend elsewhere, and how could we justify either position rationally? My foremost object of interest would be land in an economical sense (that is, landmass and natural resources). Doesn't complete procurement of land trespass on future generations freedom? I think it is pretty clear that the radical viewpoint in either direction leads to bizarre situations. Where do we draw the line, and how do we justify this?”Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
