Quick takeaways

Finding role models and mentors outside of our biological connections can provide guidance and inspiration in navigating through life.

Philosophy is not just a theoretical subject, but a practical tool that can offer guidance and answers for a more meaningful life.

Shared cultural reference points are essential in building connections, fostering discussions, and forming a collective sense of community, which is currently lacking in contemporary society.
