The philosophy of fun | Myriam François, Freya India, James Tartaglia
Join philosopher James Tartaglia, acclaimed filmmaker Myriam François, and freelance writer Freya India as they explore the philosophy of fun. They discuss whether fun is essential or merely frivolous, linking Plato's ideas to modern anxieties. The trio examines how Gen Z navigates joy versus superficial fun amidst economic struggles, and how technology influences social connections. They challenge listeners to seek deeper fulfillment and maintain meaningful interactions in an increasingly isolating digital world. This conversation is both philosophical and profoundly relevant.
