Alex has gained recognition for his unique perspective on reality, which he interprets through the lenses of materialism and agnosticism. This makes for an intriguing conversation as Andre and him engage in a deep dive into various topics.The discussion revolves around their viewpoints on God, religion, consciousness, and morality. They dissect the potential dangers of intellectualizing and its impact on our understanding of the world. Furthermore, they tackle an interesting question: can the study of ethics lead to an individual becoming more ethical in their actions?Alex also shares his thoughts on near death experiences, artificial intelligence, and facing the fear of death.Andre Duqum, February 2024

I didn't take this question, but it was in the ethics exam and the question was something like, does studying ethics make you a more moral person?
