    In a late-night confab, Damir and Sam explore the meaning of experiences of wonder, which they each have written about for Wisdom of Crowds.

    For Sam, these unique experiences are the foundation for his beliefs about the nature of the world and human life. Damir, on the other hand, does not believe that the experience of wonder necessarily leads to metaphysical questions. This freewheeling, stay-up-all-night fever dream of a conversation covers the pitfalls of therapy, the science of happiness, and lots of ancient Greek literature.

    Required Reading:

    * Damir’s piece, “A Lost Sense of Wonder,” Wisdom of Crowds

    * Sam’s piece, “Desire, Sadness, and the World,” Wisdom of Crowds

    * Oliver Traldi, “Do You Know What You Want?”, Wisdom of Crowds

    * Charles Taylor, Sources of the Self

    * Charles Taylor, A Secular Age

    * Parmenides’ fragments
