Some view religion as a vital source of moral guidance, community, and meaning, while others argue that secular ethics, reason, and shared human values are sufficient foundations for a meaningful life.

We explore whether religious institutions continue to provide social cohesion or whether, in an increasingly pluralistic world, they risk reinforcing division. We debate if and how faith offers forms of comfort and purpose that science and rational inquiry cannot address.

Our discussion also addresses the friction between religious tradition and contemporary values. Can ancient texts meaningfully inform modern ethical challenges, or do they impose constraints that no longer align with individual freedom? We engage directly with difficult questions around indoctrination and education, and whether raising children within a religious framework is best understood as a gift of identity or an unwelcome imposition.

This episode examines a fundamental tension in political philosophy: should we focus on leveling the playing field or on where people actually end up? Advocates of equal opportunity argue it preserves freedom and rewards merit while respecting individual choices. Critics contend that without addressing outcomes, opportunity remains illusory for those born into disadvantage. Dhruva and Utkarsh consider whether genuine equal opportunity is even possible when starting points differ so dramatically.

We also explore what the evidence on social mobility reveals about our current systems.

Tune in to join this wide-ranging conversation about fairness, freedom, and the practical implications of each approach for how we structure society.

Some argue that digital detox is the way to deepening the way we connect with ourselves and our loved ones. They say that being constantly connected can be much less liberating than one might think.

Others say that digital minimalism is fashionable but ineffective. If yes, how?

In this episode of Arguable, we explore what it means to pay attention instead of demanding it, to look within when distraction is the default mode, and to wander without feeling like you’ve lost the plot.
