045 Society

This is episode forty-five of the Baehr and Curadh podcast. We are going to talk about society. What one thing could a government realistically do to most improve the lives of its citizens? Why is depression so stigmatized in society? Does income inequality need to be fixed? What do we do now that will be looked at as primitive and backwards in 100 years? Why do people do things that they know hurts themselves and those around them? If everyone’s lives were judged as to whether they had made a net positive or a net negative impact on humanity, how would you be judged? What would the perfect you be like? What is the most worthwhile goal a person can dedicate their life to? What has had the biggest impact on your political beliefs? What is deeply unsettling to you? What stops people from understanding themselves? Is human consciousness just electrons flowing through neurons, or is it something beyond the physical?
