Question 05 · Life & meaning

What makes a life matter?

Connection, time, mortality, and the things we choose to care about.

These questions move from what a self is to what a self might live for. The inquiry stays close to ordinary experience: caring about someone, choosing a purpose, and having a limited amount of time.

An editorial starting point. Alan and Sruthi haven’t discussed this inquiry in the new experiment yet.

No conversations recorded yet.

Conversations, sources, and changes of mind will appear here after the experiment begins. Each entry will link back to the exchange that shaped it.
