The Weight of Tomorrow: Climate Change and the Ethics of Intergenerational Justice

The defining moral question of the climate crisis is not just what we are doing to the planet, but who we are doing it to. Rising seas, collapsing ecosystems, and searing heatwaves may seem like contemporary challenges, but their most profound impact will be borne by people not yet born. This is not merely a scientific or political issue—it is a problem of justice across time. What do we owe to future generations?

The Watched Society: Privacy, Security, and the Cost of Control in the Surveillance Age

The question of how much freedom we should trade for safety is as old as political philosophy itself. But in the era of mass surveillance—of Snowden leaks, facial recognition, and data-harvesting apps like TikTok—it has taken on new urgency. Today, we carry the watchers in our pockets, consent to tracking with a thumbprint, and offer fragments of ourselves to unseen algorithms. We are safer, perhaps—but are we still free?

The Simulated Life: Virtual Reality and the Question of What’s Real

Virtual reality is no longer science fiction. With headsets in living rooms and digital worlds ever more immersive, we are edging toward an era where simulation rivals—and sometimes surpasses—physical experience. But as we dive into these fabricated realms, a deeper question emerges: if an experience feels real, does it matter that it isn’t? Can a simulated life be a meaningful one?

The Grind and the Void: Capitalism, Work, and the Search for Meaning

Once a source of pride, identity, and upward mobility, work is increasingly seen as a source of anxiety, exhaustion, and existential drift. Young people enter a labour market defined by burnout and gig work, where stability is elusive and purpose often outsourced to productivity apps. Amidst all this, an ancient question returns with new force: is work meant to define who we are?

The Ethics of Cancel Culture and Collective Judgment

Once confined to whispered boycotts or awkward dinner party exclusions, public shaming has gone digital—and global. A single tweet, quote, or resurfaced clip can turn a private individual into a pariah. In the age of cancel culture, moral judgment no longer trickles down from courts or clergy; it erupts in viral cascades. But is this modern form of censure ethically defensible? Or are we mistaking moral clarity for collective vengeance?

Screens of the Self: Authenticity and Identity in the Digital Age

In the age of social media, the question “Who am I?” has become tangled with another: “Who do others think I am?” We curate Instagram profiles, fine-tune LinkedIn summaries, post our thoughts for followers we may never meet. But are these expressions of the self, or performances for an invisible crowd? As the line between life and content blurs, the very idea of a “real” self becomes elusive.

Love and the Will: Autonomy, Attachment, and the Logic of Modern Romance

We live in an age that prizes freedom—freedom to choose, to define, to exit. Nowhere is this more celebrated than in the realm of love. We swipe, match, unmatch, and ghost in the name of romantic sovereignty. And yet, we remain haunted by the idea of a love that defies reason, a love that chooses us. This raises a paradox: is love the ultimate act of autonomy, or the point at which autonomy dissolves?

Ghosts in the Machine: AI, Consciousness, and the Illusion of Mind

In a world increasingly populated by digital phantoms—ChatGPT scripting conversations, deepfakes blurring reality, AI girlfriends offering affection—we must ask: can machines really think? Or are they merely reflecting back our own intelligence, our own longings? As artificial intelligence grows ever more humanlike in tone and timing, the age-old philosophical riddle returns with urgency: what does it mean to possess a mind?

Beyond Flesh: Body Autonomy, Transhumanism, and the Future of Human Enhancement

What does it mean to be human when the body itself is up for redesign? From cosmetic surgery and hormone therapy to gene editing and brain implants, the line between medical necessity and elective enhancement is blurring. As technology extends our control over biology, a new ethical frontier emerges: not just whether we can change the body, but whether—and how—we should.

Anxious Freedom: Existentialism and the Search for Meaning in Uncertain Times

We live in a world vibrating with anxiety. Climate catastrophe looms, politics fracture, algorithms shape attention, and the promise of stable futures grows faint. For many—especially the young—this is not just a crisis of policy or economics. It is a crisis of meaning. What kind of life is worth living in a world that feels chaotic, indifferent, even absurd?
