In March 2021, Vanessa Zoltan, Casper ter Kuile and I launched The Real Question. In a time when all of us are struggling with how to be good, Vanessa and Casper are chipping away at the small ethical questions in their own lives. Every week, they ask a question about how to live well in the world, and bring two pieces of text (books, movies, songs, academic writing) into the conversation. Through this practice, they model how to use pop culture to help us make meaning of the world, how to interrogate the decisions we make in our lives, and how to be a good friend.
