@LucH ok gotcha

So sad to hear, he helped so many people get better.

that said, there are things that Duhigg calls keystone habits. I think a keystone habit can change everything else, kind of starts basic and then filters through your entire life.

I'll use an example. Someone who avoids dairy because the bros say "you shouldn't eat the milk of another animal." So you introduce a bit of cheese into your diet. That cascades through your life and choices you make are changed. You begin not believing them about, say, carbs...

In a relationship that has stagnated, often just kissing a lot and passionately can become the keystone habit that brings passion and interest back into the relationship.

So one thing can have profound effects in this way -- by being a catalyst that lets you change other stuff.

@Mulloch94

In the spirit of this I'm just coming back to say that wasn't unnoticed. And I appreciate some correction or reorientation on anything. So thanks Mulloch.

sometimes it's too taxing to write a full blown reply to a short but helpful comment

Short form reaction needn't be taxing. This isn't.

It's no thing really. In the spirit of laying all the cards on the table, it's not as if Stefan Molyneux (or his followers) are some sort of rouge anomaly. They are, or were, very real libertarians at one time. It's just that "olive branch" in libertarianism that extends to the deepest parts of right-wing culture and philosophy has a strong gravitational pull to it. And it mostly exists today because some of the biggest libertarian "giants," like Rothbard and even Mises, aligned themselves with right-wing extremists at certain points in history. Rothbard with Pat Buchanan and the populist movement in the 90s. And even Mises backed the Austrian fascists before emigrating to America (although calling Mises a fascistic supporter is a loaded misrepresentation. As he was the chamber of commerce for the existing administration and they were in the middle of fighting a communist revolt. I call that stuck between a rock and a hard place, but I digress.). The Trump movement today is basically a resurgence of the Pat Buchanan "paleo era" in the 90s. Although I think Buchanan was much smarter than Trump. Certainly more polished. Trump says a lot of dumb and stupid stuff but ironically ends up making choices that aren't so bad, at least by comparison to the current incumbent.

Can I just rub the leaves on my head
