29: Our Lives Are All a Matter of Luck, with Aaron Rabinowitz

Dec 31

MAY 11, 2021

EPISODE NOTES

What does it mean to have luck? Good luck, or bad? Is luck something that only happens selectively, or is our entire existence a kind of luck that we've had zero control over? And if that's true - what does it mean for our society? What does it say about our educational system, our criminal justice system, and how we treat and empathize with each other? What does it mean for our world if all of us are exactly where we are due only to pure chance? Aaron Rabinowitz, host of the Embrace the Void podcast, grapples with the philosophical and moral implications of that hypothesis.
