In this episode I go solo to "play with philosophy." As you will hear me to talk about, I think playing in philosophy is super important. We have to be willing to explore some of these big, messy topics with a mindset of play. We need to be open, free flowing, curious, and willing to look at things from all different angles. That freedom and openness allows us to explore these topics in a way that helps lead to more learning and insights.

So for this session I played with the question: does any of it really matter if we can't enjoy life? By that I meant, does anything else in life matter more than our own enjoyment of life? Can we ever care about other people, their needs, their suffering, if we don't find any net positive enjoyment in life? Can we truly believe (and furthermore should we truly believe) that there is something bigger and more important than our own happiness?

When you play, it is messy and unpolished. You follow the logical thread where ever it takes you; so that is what you will hear in this episode. I hope it makes you think.
