Ask Altucher! EP06: The Legacy Dilemma - What We Leave Behind and Why It Matters (Or Doesn't)

Is it important to leave a legacy? Should your life's mission revolve around creating something that outlasts you? Episode #6 of "Ask Altucher" grapples with these questions as Jay and James offer contrasting perspectives. Jay strongly believes that leaving a legacy should be a driving force in life. James counters with a cautionary note, arguing that the pursuit of a legacy beyond your immediate family can lead to discontentment, as you'll never experience the benefits after you pass away.The conversation takes an even deeper turn when James raises the concern about one legacy he would NOT want to leave: death by suicide and the collateral emotional damage inflicted upon family and friends. This poignant moment adds another layer to an already complex debate, making listeners ponder the legacies they are consciously or unconsciously leaving behind.But the duo doesn't stop there. Jay ups the ante by introducing two philosophical dilemmas that challenge conventional thinking: "Would you choose immediate suicide to save the planet?" and "Given the choice only for immediate death or immortality, which would you pick?" These thought-provoking questions elevate the episode from a simple discussion on legacy to a broader contemplation of life, death, and the ethical considerations in between.Whether you've contemplated your own legacy or never given it a second thought, this episode offers a compelling dive into what it means to leave something behind, the cost of doing so, and the moral complexities that come with it. A must-listen for anyone pondering the bigger questions of life.------------What do YOU think of the show?
