“Socrates makes quite a damning indictment: The unexamined life is not worth living. Who lives a conscious, examined life? Everyone probably thinks they do, but virtually no one actually does. Who decides to spend the hours and days and weeks and months and years of their life as they do? Who, by conscious decision, with informed thought aforethought, decides to pair up and have kids and buy a house and work a job and spend the very coin of their life filling in the lines of a hand-me-down, coloring-book life? Where are the people living examined lives? Lives worth living? Where are the people who made a choice? Not just the secondary choices made within an unchosen framework, but the principal choices, the choice of the framework itself. Where are the people who chose their lives?”
