Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the selfish wife trope. In a lot of film and media, the wife of the main character is often set up as an adversarial character. She often opposes the heroic journey of the main character, usually for selfish reasons. It's interesting that this theme exists. Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www....

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the Screwtape letters and spiritual warfare. Specifically, how there is a whole world of forces acting behind the scenes in our lives that we mostly do not notice. More importantly, we often don't understand what these forces are up to and what they're trying to accomplish. Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/ccrworkscom...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we continue discussing the cost of changing almost everything over the course of a single generation. We also discuss the level of hubris required to think that this would go well and have no negative consequences.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the cost of Feminism. It turns out that any time you completely restructure your society, unexpected consequences can occur. Some good and some very very bad.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the looming reformed hoe problem we have brewing. All of these girls who have been promiscuous during their twenties are going to demand good treatment in their thirties when they think they deserve a loving family and such. Unfortunately, there aren't going to be a ton of men who are interested in that arrangemen...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the nature of being a hero. As far as I can tell, it seems to boil down to some degree of self-sacrifice. However, it's more complicated than just that.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about high school mission trips. Or at least that's what I was supposed to talk about but then I went on a massive tangent that had nothing to do with the topic until the last ten minutes of the episode. However, on the topic, my thoughts are that some mission trips seem more trip than mission, and using church funds to...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about The Case Against the Sexual Revolution by Louise Perry. It's an interesting read overall and it has several good points in it, but I found a reoccurring theme of zero female accountability throughout the book. There was also a fixation on violence which was kind of surprising. Social Media: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/c...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the Count of Monte Cristo. Realistically, this episode mostly consists of my stumbling over what I remember of the book but if I recall nothing else, what I remember most is that the book was good and highly worth reading.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about national monuments and if we should have them. On the one hand, they're pretty darn cool. On the other hand, they are a benefit to a select group of people at the cost of a much larger group of people.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about how parents usually cause a lot of their own problems. This statement actually applies at multiple levels of analysis but one of the key areas of focus for this discussion is the matter of over scheduling. Parents will sign their kids up for a bunch of different things and then complain that they never have any free t...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about just how much control parents should have over their children. The answer seems to be dependent on the amount of support that the children receive from their parents. If children are fully financially dependent on their parents, then their parents should fully control them. If children are fully independent, then cont...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about solutions to all the problems that we're facing as Americans. This episode was mostly meant as a joke. But it also illustrates just how troublesome these problems are. In a lot of cases, the solutions are simple but they're rather painful and that makes it unlikely that they'll be pursued.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we discuss the Elite Gap. This is the massive gap in perception between how elites perceive reality and how normal people perceive reality. These elites then think they deserve to dictate how life should be for everyone else. Even though they have no understanding of how it is to work for a living or to be under financial pressure....

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about female intuition. People claim that it exists but if you watch the lives of women play out in real life, then it's of questionable effectiveness. One is forced to conclude that many women ignore their intuition. That or they don't really have it in the first place. Links Relating To The Episode: Link for the bible ver...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the age-old battle between talent and management. There was a split between Brett Cooper and the Dailywire back in December of 2024. This sort of thing happens all the time but in this case, there was some cloak-and-dagger swapping stuff going on that made it more messy than it needed to be otherwise. Either way, it w...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the cost of entertainment and how it relates to what girls find attractive in terms of male hobbies. I was surprised to discover there is a very clear trend between what girls do and don't find attractive. It's not money either.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about tariffs. Specifically how they work and what they do to an economy. The masses don't seem to understand them very well. Media and uninformed politicians don't help matters either.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about who all should get to vote in a society. Ideally, you want the people voting to have an interest in the wellbeing of the society. Otherwise, they'll just vote for personal benefits at the cost of the whole society.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the economics of war. Using million-dollar missiles on combatants carrying 1,000 dollars of gear isn't a financially victorious strategy.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, I was thinking about Memorial Day. I struggle to see why someone would want to serve in the military at present. The value proposition isn't really there unless you're interested in thrill-seeking at high risk to yourself.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about parenting girls. It's the second part of a two-episode series. With girls, there's some overlap with parenting boys, but there are also some key differences that we get into during the episode.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about parenting boys. It's the first episode in a two-part series. I think that if you raise your son to be a hero, things will work out alright.
