Next Episode: E84 why not immortality?
In episode 82, we discuss the stages and span of a human life. What are those stages? Do we see and experience them as discrete units on a timeline? Or is there an overall shape to the human lifecycle that all people share and that gives it meaning as a whole? We argue for the latter view and also share our favorite/least favorite life stages. Finally, we address possible objections to the shape view. Stay tuned for the next episode when we take this conversation a step further and discuss aging, death, and immortality.
