Listen "The Philosophy of Fun"
Episode Synopsis
What is fun, and why do we crave it? In this episode of So Listen: A Positing of Hideas, we explore what fun means, its role in our lives, and whether it’s the true purpose of life. From Aristotle’s ideas of flourishing to the science of dopamine and novelty, we unpack why fun feels so essential.We’ll also dive into the darker side of fun—escapism, “fun guilt,” and inequality in access to joy. So grab a snack, spark up, and join us as we ask: Is life meant to be enjoyed?
