The Philosophy of Family

Family: sometimes it’s the people you’re born to, sometimes it’s the ones you choose, and sometimes it’s just the weird uncle who won’t stop telling fishing stories at Thanksgiving. In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, Kief and Sage blaze through the meaning of family — from blood ties and generational legacies to chosen kinship and found communities. Along the way, they explore cultural traditions, philosophical questions, and the messy psychology of love, loyalty, and letting go. Is family a natural bond, a social construct, or just who shows up when the smoke clears? Tune in and find out — and maybe rethink what family means to you.
