Stop To Think

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.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about shame and how it is the guardrail of societies. Our culture has gotten away from shaming people because it is "mean". Unfortunately, there are some consequences to us doing this and they're probably worse than hurting some feelings here and there to keep everyone in line.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, I discuss the construction of a functional secular worldview. As far as I can tell, self-propagation becomes the highest ideal.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about politics and capitalism. Specifically, there's a bit of a money problem. The people in power tend to abuse it. It would be a good idea for us to change the system so that it's impossible for them to abuse it.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the beautiful Brett Cooper. For a brief period, I had a total crush on her. She has an interesting back story so I figured it was worth discussing here.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about intelligence and how it's a bit pesky. Some studies seem to indicate that it's highly dependent on genetics which presents a few problems for... well... everyone.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the Catholic Church and the moral, emotional, and spiritual anguish it put me through earlier this year on account of a beautiful girl. It caused so much trouble that it forced me to make a flowchart. The link for that is below. Link To Catholic Crisis Flowchart: https://ccrworks.com/catholic-crisis Social Media: ⁠⁠ht...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about authenticity and how it seems to be one of the core things. Everyone gets the ick for inauthentic crap.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about monarchies and why they're kind of a bad idea but also not that much worse than all the other methods for human government.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about risk management. It seems like a lame topic but risk comes up everywhere in life. Although it's usually good, it can sometimes cause problems if you're too risk-averse.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about why you have to work. A lot of stupid people on the internet don’t understand how the world works. Specifically, they seem to miss the fact that resources are finite. Economics is the study of the production, consumption, and the transfer of wealth. When resources are finite, we need to decide who gets more resources...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about how insurance works. In the recent past, a lot of people have argued that criminals shouldn’t be treated harshly for their actions because the damage they cause is covered by insurance. Unfortunately, if the insurance has to pay for it, then everyone who has insurance ends up paying for it. We talk about it in this ep...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about beauty, purity, and character. These three facets are the key factors that make girls attractive to guys. Beauty is the most important because it’s required to cause a guy to initiate an interaction. Purity is the next most important because it will tank a relationship if it’s not present. Character is third because w...

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about some internet scams. Earlier this year I had a close call with one. That prompted me to look into internet scams in greater depth to get an understanding of how they work and how to best avoid them.

Episode Description: In this episode of the Stop To Think podcast, we talk about the diminishing returns curve with respect to thinking. One of the people I work with, we’ll call him “Steve”, thinks that thinking less is beneficial for one’s happiness. He’s more in favor of just going with your instinct which is accurate 85% of the time. I on the other hand think that thinking more is always bette...
