Episode 6: Are You Ready to Die? - Earth Edition Think Scope

    • Society & Culture

Death is inevitable. Every single living thing dies. Non-living things have cycles of "birth" and "death", likes rocks wearing down into sand and magma "creating" new rocks. Even stars die and collapse. Just as much birth is a fundamental component of the universe, so is death. Neither have existed without one another, and life is meaningless without an inevitable end.

In this episode of Think Scope, Megan and Alexis discuss how they know they are prepared to die, meaning, how they determine if they have lived the most fulfilling life. They also discuss why living a fulfilling life is subjective and dependent on our fears, definition of success, and motivation behind the success (thus briefly revisiting topics covered in episodes 2, 3, and 4).
