  • 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.

  • 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.
