I would love to get involved in this conversation. But I am poor. It seems that the truth is possibly only available to the rich not necessarily to to the erudite nor the enlightened.Sopshistry ? If you want to save the world then truth should should be free...

What are you doing with regard to your own moral prescription? How have you intergrated it into your own life? If the truth should be free, how are you making the truth freely available to people?

 I don't want to sound cruel but one "slogan" I find to be true is There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch usually abreviated as TANSTAAFL. BUT........... you have been here long enough to know that you get alot out of freedomainradio.com without paying money.Soooooooo looking at it this way:

Stef does not have an income outside of what comes in through freedomainradio.com and connected things like print books,(audio and .pdf's are free of cost to you and whomever you give them to) and MAYBE articles and show appearances........I don't know how or if guests on internet radio shows are paid. The donation premium content is a carrot to give that incentive nudge to those who find value and can afford to give. If you look at  your use of this website, you have gotten more than your moneys worth wouldn't you say?

Now if you would like more, there is always the $10 a month donation level, it will get you access to bronze and silver levels including the podcast under which you are posting. This is less expensive than a newspaper subscription or a low level habit of say 3 visits to "Fourbucks" coffee every month.  You can usually find some other place to cut expenses... Check with your regular or cell phone to see if there is a cheaper plan available, have a yard sale, post something for sale on craigslist (or here and ask for a paid donation in your name instead of money).

You are intelligent enough to be here and participate. I know you are smart enough to if you want to participate at a higher level.

And if you really don't have the bucks, have you listened to EVERY Free podcasts (another added just today) and books? There really should be enough to keep you going for quite a while.

And let me say again, because of the donations, this site gets Stefan FULL TIME! (and probably a lot of overtime, too).The guy really is a chowhound and I'm not sure Christina could afford  to feed him on her income alone.

 Back on topic: After I listened to this, I was surprised at the thought that I have NEVER felt  lonely when alone,  but I have felt lonely around other people.

I don't get paid for radio appearances...

 Bummer!

Hopefully, it would work as advertising, or reciprocation........

I was feeling a little petulant last night. I fully appreciate the free information Stef has made available. Thank you Stef. Whether I agree with all his theories or not I think it is worth paying for. I will do so at some point.

Now, in the clear light of day I would like to ask if the premium content is of a higher objective value ? Partly joking !

Getting back to the thread's subject I will listen to FDRP117 - on Loneliness.

Just realised I can't until I donate. I'm not fully awake yet !

 

 

Stef,

I have the exact same experience with lonelyness, well put. Loneliness does not really bother me emotionally, since most relation ships are crap anyway and there is a lot going on in my head. Even worse, the times I experienced loneliness was mostly in groups where I felt a lot of pretending was going on. When you are not invited to a party you can still imagine there is something great going on you are missing out on. When you are invited you even lost that imgination. I have witnessed loneliness in people who absolutely have to see someone at some point, and it does not even matter who or what or if you are paying any attention to what they are saying, it seems to be on a very low level.

I do remember from when I was younger that I considered many single older people as very inflexible, rigid and set in their ways and wonder if I will end up there (and if this is a problem) I do sometimes have more practical concerns about being alone (single point of failure)

I can have pleasant interactions when my expectations were low to begin with and met.

Someone once explained on a work course that quality=result - expectations

He claimed you should not give to much quality nor to little, but communicate the quality level as honestly to customers as possible. Dont sell a Mercedes to someone wanting a Toyota and vice versa. There is nothing wrong with junk food once in a while, as long as you don't expect gourmet.
