Are you living your life like sand slipping through an hourglass? Or do you seize the day and make the most of every precious moment? Join us as we ponder the symbolism of the hourglass, how we can shift our mindset to make the most of our time here, and how not everything we do has to be “productive”. We grapple with EO Wilson’s thought-provoking notion of our stone-age emotions amidst god-like technology and Carissa Schumacher’s insights on progress without evolution, and reflect on how our instincts guide us, despite our apparent societal advancement.
