In this episode, we dive into the psychological roots of fascism, defining it as the belief that "you're only in if others are out." This ideology, which thrives on discouragement and a myth of victimhood, fosters a dangerous desire for "purity" and isolation, leading to a counterfeit sense of community. We argue that the true antidote is "Gemeinschaftsgefühl," or social interest—a genuine "we-feeling altogether" built on mutual respect. We explore why an insistence on absolute agreement and the elimination of opposing voices (whether from the left or the right) leads to a bad world. Ultimately, when we forsake the Golden Rule and due process in the name of a "good result," we are winning people over not to virtue, but to force—and sacrificing the true security found only in trust and community feeling.

Many people think spoiling kids is all about giving them too much—but the real issue runs deeper. In this video, we explore how spoiling is less about overindulgence and more about a subtle, discouraging message: a vote of no confidence in a child's abilities. When we step in too much, solve every problem, or shield kids from struggle, we unintentionally send the message that they aren’t capable. Let’s rethink what it really means to ‘spoil’ a child—and how to foster true confidence instead.
