Question 1: [1:48] - “I'm from the island of Puerto Rico. Lately in the local news and media, the hottest subject is ‘The Mental Health of the Puerto Rican people.’ This arises because professionals attribute the ailments of our society: crime, rape, murder and recently the amount of pedophilia, to our low standards on the subject of Mental Health. The governments solution has been to spend millions of dollars, even with the islands non-existent economy, into public Mental Health services. Are mental health issues the cause of the problems in Puerto Rico?”Question 2: [52:12] - “I don't understand how you can diagnose cultural neuroses as a function of ‘innate biological limits’ prevalent in ‘low IQ populations,’ rather than to the childhood trauma that those populations endured, while at the same time recognizing the correlation between adult war and childhood trauma, per your advocacy of Lloyd deMause's book. Surely, if you recognize a correlation between trauma (aka, child abuse) and war (aka, a low IQ cultural neurosis), then mustn't you recognize a correlation between "cultural IQ limits" and the experiential trauma that the children of those cultures endured?”“What I observe you doing here is selectively applying the rational principle that cultural neuroses originates from trauma (not biology, per se), thus depriving this important and sensitive rationalization to certain cultures' neurotic behavior. Upon what rational basis can you explain why you selectively apply this rational principle to some human populations but not to others?”Question 3: [1:44:04] - “I'm in my late 20's and have been dating a single mother with two children for a year and a half. We met at work and began dating for pleasure. She has many qualities in a woman that I like. She is attractive, able to hold a professional job, and is able to raise children in a relatively healthy way. She has also become receptive to some of the things you talk about in your show, such as problems with welfare programs and immigration. However, as someone who looks forward to having a child or two of my own someday, I am uncertain if it makes sense to settle down with her or if it would be best to move on and start fresh.”Question 4: [2:46:33] - "Stefan, I agree with many of Donald Trump’s stated policies, though I may not agree with many of his characterizations of immigrants. That aside, I find his foreign policy most concerning. I understand that secrecy is necessary as a part of military strategy, but then why hasn't Trump had independent and respected military strategists review his plans behind closed doors and then give public endorsements? Knowing that you had to keep secrets ahead of time, but then failing to mitigate the impact this has on the public seems like a major misstep. Moreover, his statements about killing the families of terrorists, seems to me irreconcilable with the NAP. How, for instance, can you justify the killing of terrorist's grandparents?"Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
