Is it possible to be too simple?

In this first episode of a series on living a value driven life, I explore Simone de Beauvoir’s book, The Ethics of Ambiguity, and what it means to go through life without questioning, resisting, or truly engaging with the absurdity of existence.

Is ignorance really bliss, or does avoiding complexity come at a cost? I dig into the tension between simplicity and authenticity, why some people choose to “just go with it,” and whether there’s a better way to exist.
