What The Fuck Do We Know

Nationalism

In this episode, we discuss our concerns about the rise of nationalism, particularly in Ukraine as a result of the ongoing war. During our discussion, we cover the relevance, benefits, and possible consequences of nationalism. In addition, we also touch on the phenomenon of "white nationalism" as it is gaining traction in the US.

Meaningful Life (Part 2)

In this episode, we continue discussing the topic of meaning. We explore the concept of objective values and the idea of living as a nihilist.

Additionally, we touch on the origin of our beliefs and how they shape our core values.

Meaningful Life (Part 1)

In this episode, we discuss the concept of a meaningful life. We explore the difference between searching for "the meaning of life" and "meaning in life." One of us has a theory related to finding purpose in life, drawn from their view of END as a recurring phenomenon. We also consider intrinsic values and whether it's possible to define them. This is a two-part episode, as the concept of meaning is too extensive to compress into one episode, and we ran out of drinks.

Loneliness, Solitude, and Sense of Community

In this episode, we discuss the concept of loneliness - what it means to us, how it feels to experience it, and where it comes from. We also delve into the importance of having a community and friends, the significance of emotional connections, and whether or not we can truly satisfy our need for socialization with digital methods of communication. Additionally, we explore whether there is a difference between solitude and loneliness.

Ethics of War Propaganda

In this episode, we discuss the use of propaganda as a tool for governments to propagate their agenda.

We will further delve into the ethical justification of using propaganda during wartime in Ukraine.

What The Fuck Do We Know- about Death Anxiety. In this episode, we explore the depths of existential anxiety and the ubiquitous fear of our mortality. We discuss from whence it came and how different people cope with this anxiety. Is it possible to overcome this? This is a question we ask and discuss but do not necessarily answer because… I’ll redirect your attention to the title of this podcast.

Knowledge

 "WTF Do We Know?" - about Knowledge. In this episode, we dive into the controversial issue of book banning in schools, sparked by the rise in discourse around systemic racism. We'll explore the balance between teaching history truthfully and concerns about students' feeling of guilt. We touch on parental rights in education, LGBTQ+ representation, and the debate over what children in schools should be exposed to. Additionally, we discuss access to knowledge as a right and whether any restrictions are justified.
