    Episode 665: Objectify him (texting)

    12/10/2026 | 9 mins.
    It seems like both men and women are bad at texting. This is generally due to the fact that both sides are giving the other what they hope to receive – not what the other genuinely desires. This stimulates deep-seated anxieties and turns texting into an emotional chore. Men want sexual content: objectify him. Women want relational content: give her affection.

    Episode 664: Arrogance (Lindsay Clancy)

    09/10/2026 | 9 mins.
    In this episode, I discuss the Lindsay Clancy mistrial in the context of certain controversial statements made by several jurors after deliberations ended. Whether they were aware of it or not, their arrogance was on full display. Prioritizing sectarian goals over the rule of law raises difficult questions about the role of justice in modern society. What happens when jurors identify more strongly with the accused than with the community they have sworn to serve?

    Episode 663: Make her obsessed (the importance of contrast)

    05/10/2026 | 12 mins.
    When you deepen a woman's initial interest into emotional engagement, you make her obsessed. In this episode, I explain the importance of contrast, and why this element can create depth, intrigue, and fascination. By embracing the less socially acceptable parts of themselves, men can cultivate a more authentic, compelling, and psychologically-nuanced presence.

    Episode 662: Keeping the peace (standing up to female bullies)

    02/10/2026 | 10 mins.
    Constantly trying to manage your partner's feelings does not lead to peace. Emotional externalizers turn relationships into imbalanced systems – and assertive boundaries are required to resist their sway. However, this might be difficult given the relationship models many men extrapolate as children. Ultimately, men must understand that keeping the peace does not mean catering to women's whims, but standing up to female bullies.

    Episode 661: Reasonable doubt (Lindsay Clancy)

    28/09/2026 | 11 mins.
    In this episode, I discuss whether the evidence supports reasonable doubt about Lindsay Clancy's mental state at the time of the murders. I also examine the diagnoses involved, questioning whether they can legitimately establish what medical professionals should have known beforehand. While certainty may be impossible, the case raises a crucial question: when does skepticism become reasonable?
