Is war a construct that is able to be broken over time or in our nature/a necessary evil?
Is it better for art to be up to interpretation or for it to have a set meaning?
How nuanced does "good art" have to be until it runs out of meaning?
Does it matter if the clarification of what is art or not is up to interpretation?
(all of these questions about art are entirely pointless)
- too much in your head v. too much in your body in relation to creative output
- "opinions differ based on who you are" - depending on what values people hold, etc, or in the eye of the beholder - regulative ideal
- freedom vs predeterminalism. "say there is a god, can you set your own life?"
- objective (10 commandments) vs subjective view on morality - self generated morality (horrifying) - "what do you do when all the answers are bad?"
- fulfilment: broad or small (better answer is small)
- war is a construct, conflict is in our nature - to fulfil our needs it may mean that someone else might not be able to
- we need a sense that something can become meaningless in order to create meaning.
- is individualism a good thing? if it's not, then am i an individual to begin with?
- "without death there is no life" - it's impossible to imagine what it's like after you're gone because youre Gone
- limits of your imagination, how to phrase things - and death
- philosophy is the study of science that hasn't been discovered yet
