Der Philosoph Jean-Jacques Rousseau behauptete: Im Naturzustand, in einem Zustand ohne Staat und Gesellschaft, würde der Mensch ein sehr einfaches, aber genau deswegen auch sehr glückliches Leben führen. Aber wenn das so ist – warum bleiben wir dann nicht einfach im Naturzustand?
Um diese Frage geht es in der heutigen Episode. Rousseau sieht in der Entstehung des Privateigentums eine Art „Sündenfall“, der den Menschen aus dem Paradies des Naturzustands vertrieben hat. Nebenbei lesen wir ein wenig in der Bibel und in den Bestsellern von Y.N. Harari.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
