Quarrelsome Life Radio
The human condition is bizarre.
There are three huge questions in the world of science that have excited me for years:
*what is the universe within which we seem to exist?
*what is the Life that we seem to be part of?
*what is the consciousness that allows us to contemplate the first two questions?
However, while these questions are truly fascinating, the deepest and most profoundly useful query I have ever encountered relates to what may be considered the “dark side” of human self-awareness:
How do I live when I know we must die?
This is the fundamental question at the basis of what it means to be a member of the Homo sapiens species. And, it is in pondering this enigma that I am driven to curiously explore engaging topics and chat to interesting people.
I am Ciaran The Quarrelsome O’Regan and this is Quarrelsome Life Radio.
