 Hey everyone, it's MJ and welcome to the introduction to the course called actuarial philosophy Now you're probably thinking hold on. Hold on. We don't have an exam on philosophy You know why? Why on earth does this course even exist and this is a great question One that we're going to be unpacking in this course But essentially I was thinking you know what? Actuaries are smart people We have quite an epic toolset in order which to you know take problems deconstruct them and find optimal solutions So instead of just using actuarial skills when it comes to finance business statistics Demography politics governance and all those other things. I'm thinking hold on Can we also use that in the realm of philosophy? You know, can we attempt to answer questions on ethics morality? Where we are? What are we doing? What is the whole goal of the human race and I think we can I think we can so what this course is gonna be about it We're gonna be looking me to some old-school philosophy some new school philosophy and seeing how you know We can deconstruct it and extract some really awesome ideas from it And yeah, that's basically it. It's gonna be it's gonna be interesting. I mean like I say there is no syllabus There is no like the actuarial societies around the world don't have a Securriculum for for the subject it is in fact a brand new subject that I am making up So it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna be interesting and yeah, it's all do you know what? I think it's for it's for the people who we study, you know Trial science for so long that once we've finished it We kind of have this this hole in our life and we like we need to keep studying I don't know. I don't know if all other actors have got this feeling but now that I've finished my exams and I'm my fellow of The South African society There's still a little bit of me that wants to learn so that's what I guess this course is for for the people who have become Study junkies we need to keep learning so come with me on this journey as we deep in you know yeah, go deep into philosophy and Yeah, just try and satisfy our curious minds and like I see like I said Can we take an actuarial slant on some of these big big questions and see if we can contribute in in some meaningful way? So yeah, that is the introduction Like I say, it's gonna be a very interesting course a lot less structured than my other ones Because like I said, there's no syllabus. So feel free to add questions ask things. Give me your comments Let's start discussions how your input will shape this course So if you guys want to talk about X, we'll make videos about X if you want to discuss why we can do that So expect this course to keep growing and growing and growing And yeah, I just want to put it in you to me just in the sense that it's easier to say Okay, look I've watched this video we can click tech and we can move on to the next one so yeah, this is gonna be an epic journey and I'm glad that you have decided to join it with me and Joy, let's see how it goes until next time. I'll see you. Cheers
