Turtles All the Way Down Final Project

Our group didn't have a script really, just a general sense of what we wanted to say. We let our turtles and questions do most of the talking. The questions we had in the turtles were all questions that were brought up in Anne's  class or on the forum, but they were only a smattering of those available. We organized them by unit into the three turtles, with the brain being the top turtle, the individual in the middle turtle, the universe being the bottom turtle, and culture split between the middle and bottom turtles.

Your questions were:

Can we learn to control our unconscious minds?

What happens to someone when they die? Does their interpretation and story continue in others?

Consciousness and unconsciousness: which oen is more powerful?

What is evolution?(x2) Does evolution equal to change?

How can we extend the thinking out of the ESem?

Are our lives all about stories?

How can we qualify life?

Is there truth?

What is reality? Do we even exist? Aaaaah

Is there anything everyone can agree is wrong or right?

Why do we live?

Is there objective [something illegible, sorry! There were some l's and a y in the second word though]

Why am I the way I am?

When is someone right?

What is mindfuck?

OMGWTF?

What came first? Egg or chicken?

How do I make sense of myself?

If everything is a story, is anything real?

Why turtles? Why not rabbits all the way down?

Who is "I"? Am I "we"?

What is The Answer?

Can we survive with only unconsciousness?

 

Keep asking questions, because even though we only seem to get more questions, having questions and being able to make them at all is better than none.
