Description

Welcome to The Rabbit Hole! I'm Shubh, and in this series, we dive deep into the questions that sit at the intersection of philosophy, psychology, and everything in between. In our first episode, I sit down with Professor Joseph Van Weelden, who is a philosopher of ethics and well-being, to explore whether pursuing knowledge makes us happier or if ignorance really is bliss. Together, we’ll untangle the complex relationship between knowing and being happy, discussing everything from moral realism and nihilism to evolution and naturalism. Can we keep our heads clear while seeking truth? Tune in and find out!
