We are not collections of atoms and molecules. We are - but that's not the right way to think about it.
We're not fixed things. We are constantly developing.
We're all capable of so much more than we know.
How can I become happier?
Is there a theory of everything?
What kind of sex is worth wanting?
What is your inner voice?
How do we think about gender?
How do we disagree better?
How can we train attention to be stronger?
Can we become more rational?
What is your conflict style?
How do you know that anything exists right now?
What do you even mean by now?
Is our Universe a simulation?
No!
I think there's one civilization in the Milky Way Galaxy and there might only ever be one - and that's us. We have a tremendous responsibility not to mess this up.
You have to think about how your decisions impact a larger issue.
What would we change?
That's really what we want the conversation to be about now, not just a long list of problems, but an even longer list of solutions that we can try and get behind.
So, stay tuned.
