An Introduction to Philosophy (RLL style) Week 15 – Meaning of Life – Part 6: What time is it on the sun?

by

Asking “What’s the meaning of life?” is like asking what time it is on the sun. The answer isn’t waiting to be discovered; it’s made through how we show up in life. Meaning isn’t found. It’s lived. Through love, through relationships, and by being present. Instead of searching for an answer, we’re meant to step into life. The meaning of life is life itself, and the meaning we create shows up in the connections we make.

An Introduction to Philosophy (RLL style) Week 12 – Ethics 2 (Objectivism) – Part 6: Who’s your daddy?

by

At the heart of ethics, the true north may not be a rulebook or a theory—it’s the bonds we share. Whether it’s with another person, a community, or even ourselves, ethics can be grounded in how we nurture our relationships. Does our action build trust, understanding, and love? Or does it damage, isolate, and hurt? The quality of our relationships might just be the most important measure of a life well-lived—ethics is deeply rooted in connection.

An Introduction to Philosophy (RLL style) Week 09 – God 1 (Theism) – Part 7: Summary – What’s your favorite color?

by

The question isn’t whether we believe in God, but whether we recognize that God believes in us. Whether we’re believers or nonbelievers, the idea of God shows up in our values, our sense of meaning, and our relationships. The light doesn’t vanish because we describe it differently; it shines through in our actions, our resistance to meaninglessness, and our capacity for love. Whether we pray, doubt, or live quietly, the essence of God might not be in belief, but in the life we create and the love we give.

An Introduction to Philosophy (RLL style) Week 09 – God 1 (Theism) – Part 6: What’s love got to do with it?

by

Love isn’t a necessity for the universe to function, but it persists anyway. It disrupts the cold efficiency of survival and adds something deeper, more tender, to the story of existence. Metaphysics and philosophy ask whether love is a fluke of chemistry or a clue that the universe is more than machinery—it might be the very force that holds the system together, a source of connection, meaning, and goodness that can’t be explained away.
