We aim to just talk freely and explore what topics we may be interested to discuss in the future. We experiencve technical difficulties towards the end. So this is just he first part of out chat, the rest of the conversation will be posted as "part 2" once we iron out the issues. Enjoy!

In this episode we get into a discussion about ethics. We investigate different ways of thinking about morality, and interrogate our own and each other's views on what it means to live moral life. We stray into economic and political morality and this heats the debate up.

In this Episode we chat about the global health pandemic that is the Coronavirus. No real structure for this one, just a conversation. We start with a first person perspective, how it has affected us so far and how we are feeling about it. We then move to some of the more broad and general implications of the outbreak on the world. This one has a bit of everything we like: feelings, politics, social analysis, economics and of course philosophy.

In this episode we are inspired by Slovenian philosopher and psychoanalyst Slavoj Zizek's comments about how we as society can take something that is untrue and make it true even without anyone believing it to be true. This brings up questions of what it means to be human. Credits go to @karanv.eer (IG), @severdkite (Twitter) for bringing up the clip and elaborating on it. Go check him out on the social.
