“There’s nothing lonelier than empty relationships. At least when you’re alone you can be yourself, but when you’re in empty relationships you can’t even be yourself.You can be real alone, or you can be a ghost with false friends.Pulse proximity is not intimacy, and it’s worse than no friends at all.”

Canadian libertarian philosopher and political commentator, Stefan Molyneux is best known for his critiques of government overreach and advocacy of free-market principles. His work often explores individual liberty, intellectual property, and the ethical foundations of society through podcasts, books, and online videos.
