If you could go back in your life to when you were 17 and left school, what would you differently and why?

If we are merely the current iteration of our genes, what moral obligations do we have towards other iterations?

You did the best years ago ...the Christmas truce...it can't be beat

What is the nature of consciousness?
Where do thoughts come from?
Give those a shot.

Hey Stefan. I've been listening to and watching your content for 15 years now, and you have been a great source for all things philosophical. I am grateful for all the work you put into educating and informing others. In particular, as it pertains to the State.
My question is, do you believe we are, either in or approaching the modern equivalent to the enlightenment era, when humanity (or, at least a portion of humanity) will finally be getting an upgrade regarding knowing what it means to be a free human being?
