In this video, we discuss a theory on social behaviors and why/how people behave differently around others. This is an abstract episode at times but it's a pretty interesting theory. Find out what the theory is at 4:10 and see where we land on the topic by the end. Full disclosure this episode may, in fact, hurt the noggin and I do not take any responsibility for any hurting of your craniums❤️.

As always, thoughtful discussion is greatly appreciated in the comments and I hope you enjoy it! Please remember to always be stoic in your interactions in the comments.

What could we possibly have done this time? Santi and I have a theory on social behaviors on the channel and we'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
Long story short: Do you think people change their behavior based on the people they are with. If so, should we? All of these shenanigans and more are covered on the latest episode!

So uh, I'm not sure if I should edit all of these videos like this, or just the Go Off sessions but I lowkey enjoyed doing it honestly. If you enjoy the editing in the vid and want me to do more or less let us know in the comments!!

In this absolute extravaganza, I'm joined by a new guest - Louis, as well as Santi (as always). In this video, we go off on topics ranging from drone deliveries to fusion energy, to AI, and even whether we think humans are better at creation or destruction.

Let us know what you guys thought about these topics and if you have any suggestions on what we should talk about next leave a comment!

Question of the day: Can you fully understand an experience that you haven't directly had before?

For example: If my friend's parent passes away but I've never experienced what that's like, is it possible for me to understand fully what that's like? Will we ever be able to fully understand those kinds of experiences?

Find out where we land on this topic as we came to a pretty interesting principle this time around.

Can you fully understand an experience if you've never directly had the experience?

Example: My friend's parent passes away but I've never experienced what that's like. Is it possible for me to fully understand that kind of experience? Will we ever be able to do so (in the future) if not? Do we need to fully understand experiences at all?

Welcome back to the Principle Paragon channel! This a place where we do our best to think, learn, and grow in an effort to discover new life principles!

Now that you're down this far in the description you should know... if you haven't seen the first episode...honestly you're not missing much. We originally pointed out modern characteristics of how we determine responsibility. However, in this episode, Santi and I attempt to determine whether what we're doing in the modern day is the correct way to go about determining responsibility.

As always, thoughtful discussion is greatly appreciated in the comments and I hope you enjoy! Please remember to always be stoic in your interactions in the comments.

Welcome to the Principle Paragon! A place for all of us to come together to think about philosophic/interesting topics. By the end of these topics we hope to form a new principle.

Disclaimer: Today I'm joined by my great friend Jason for another Go Off session! In this chaotic thought provoking episode we talked about morality, what it is, and some interesting topics within it.

Welcome back to the Principle Paragon channel! This a place where we do our best to think, learn, and grow in an effort to discover new life principles!

In this episode, Rafael and I talk about responsibility, what it is, and how do we determine who is responsible for consequences. This will be at least a two part episode because it may be a larger topic (who knows?). In this part, we simply make observations on how we seem to give and take responsibility in the modern-day and what our criteria for that are.

Hello and welcome back to the Principle Paragon YouTube channel! A place where we come together to think, learn, and grow in the pursuit of the right principles to live by. I made this channel with the hope of understanding current belief systems and thinking through whether they might be "right" or not. Through this channel and community I hope to try my best to help make the world a more understanding and wise place.

Today Rafael and I are back and talking about transparency and how transparent should we be about different information? Is there a set of rules or guidelines that might help us make better decisions about the information that we disclose? Find out where we land on this topic and as always, thoughtful discussion is always appreciated in the comments. Please be sure to be stoic when having your own thought-provoking conversations with the community!

Welcome to the Principle Paragon! A place for all of us to come together to put out content that gets people thinking about philosophic/interesting topics which by the end, will hopefully lead to a new principle.

Today I'm joined by my good friend Rafael, where we ponder the qualities of suffering. We talk about whether suffering is good or bad and based on that conclusion, should we attempt to get rid of suffering?

Disclaimer:
Today I'm joined again by my good friend Rafael and were doing a new kind of session were calling "Go Off" (we decided this after the video). In these "Go Off" talks we'll just be talking about some random topics and ask some random questions to see where we go off to.

Today Rafael and I ask the question "If you could change one thing genetically about the human species to make them better, what would it be?". Watch the video to find out where we land and feel free to comment what you would change! As always, discussion is widely appreciated but please try to be stoic in your interactions.

Welcome to the Principle Paragon. A place for all of us to come together to put out content that gets people thinking about philosophic/interesting topics which by the end, will hopefully lead to a new principle. Today I wanted to ponder what mattered more in wrongdoing. Is it the principle that matters more or is it the consequences? Should it be considered wrongdoing if I don't use my turn signal and don't receive any consequences for it? Or is it only wrong when I don't use my turn signal and receive consequences (I.E. causing an accident)?

I apologise again for the video quality, it's due to streaming on Periscope and then downloading that footage. I think I'll try streaming on YouTube next time and see where that takes us.
