258 Overview, the big questions of our Big Eras:
Enlightenment
My neighbor's religion is clearly wrong -- his god is a fraud! Or, if you prefer: he believes in God! Crazy! His political opinions are going to destroy this great nation of ours. His sexual views are clearly perverted. Should I light him on fire? Keep him from talking on my campus? Build a wall?
Or: How can people with radically different conceptions of truth live together without killing each other?
Or: What is truth and how do we come to know it?
Romanticism
Are people inherently good or evil? Or If people are inherently good, why are
there so many assholes creating so mayhem?
Modernism
Why does the world still suck? For reals.
But wait there's more: Freud. Always fun.
Existentialism
Ok, let’s make the world suck less…without going back to the way it was when we
simply killed our stupid, crazy neighbors.
Or, How do I become moral in such a futile, brutal, existence?
Post Modernism
Hmmm…wait; maybe we can’t figure what truth is after all and maybe that's a good thing...? Or not...?
