A Philosopher Asked Socrates: What is the Meaning of Life?

Описание: Socrates was days from execution when a desperate philosopher asked him one final question: "What is the meaning of life?"

His reply wasn't a grand revelation. It was a demolition of the question itself.

In this video, we explore the Socratic method to confront the most unsettling truth about life's meaning—one that our modern obsession with "finding your purpose" has completely misunderstood.

We'll unpack why Socrates believed an "unexamined life is not worth living," how he used questions to reveal that we don't even understand what we're asking, and why his approach is more terrifying—and more liberating—than any self-help answer.

You'll discover:

Why asking "What is the meaning of life?" is the wrong starting point.

How Socrates’ final days (and refusal to escape death) are the ultimate lesson in creating meaning.

The personal story of how a channel’s collapse became a modern Socratic moment.

The single, daily practice that forges meaning—not as something you find, but something you become.

This isn't a philosophy lecture. It's a call to examine the scripts you're following: your career, your goals, your definition of success. Are they truly yours, or were they written by society, family, or fear?

If you’ve ever felt lost searching for a "purpose," or doubted the ready-made answers from gurus and motivational quotes, this video offers a different path. It’s not about finding the right answer. It’s about finding the courage to ask the right questions.
