Philosopher Stefan Molyneux talks with a caller about the high price of chasing status through cars, racing, clothes and hobbies, and how that spending leaves his wife feeling unsafe and unwilling to have kids. He also presses the caller on childhood abuse, family silence and old patterns that still leave the marriage without sex or closeness.
