In this week's 'Pick out of The Hat' episode, we have a moral dilemma: 'Would you rather be the only happy person in the world, or let everyone be happy but yourself?'

This hypothetical yet very thought-provoking question stimulated a wide range of responses from the five of us. Some of us gave more egotistical answers, and others showed their benevolence. Later on, we diverged from this discussion to deliberate upon the meaning of happiness in general.

Tune in to hear our take on this intriguing question & the rationales behind our answers.

It would be very interesting to hear your answers to this question. Feel free to contact us on any of the platforms listed below:

This week, we are introducing a new podcast segment called 'Pick Out of The Hat'. At the start of the episode, at random, we pull out a theme that we are going to be spontaneously discussing about from a hat filled with numerous different topics.

In this episode, the question that we picked out from the hat is: 'If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?'

Tune in for an informal talk between the five of us about our dream habitats & the reasons behind our choices.

Thank you for all the support that we have received thus far. We are truly appreciative & can't wait to share the content of our future episodes.

This episode is all about Life outside Earth. We deliberate on the following questions:
How realistic is it for humans to relocate to another planet in the future? Are there any extraterrestrial species living in our galaxy? Is there intelligent life that is remotely similar to human beings on other planets? Last, but not least, is the immense capital that we invest into exploring life outside Earth - worth it?

We would love to hear your opinions on this topic & whether you agree with our opinions.
