The unexamined life is worth living because I believe every life is worth living. Whether you choose to live your life in the dark or think about it is your choice. The examined life is more meaningful and fulfilling though. If you just go through the "motions" not wondering why they are the "motions" then you'll live a life. Your life might me simple and easy, but it may work for you. A person can believe they are happy living that life and who are we to say their life is not worth living because it is. Now, if you choose to question how the "motions" came to be the "motions" and possibly decide to veer of that predirected path then that's great. Those questions might lead you to an understanding of life therefore making you feel like you got the most out of life. Both lives are worth living it's just up to the person to decide which path to take.
Finding a modern day gadfly was a little hard. I really had to think about this, but then I decided that Russel Brand is a modern day gadfly. He questions society. He does it through humor, but he makes us think about stuff. He burned a dollar and tried to burn a pound but that didn't work. In America a dollar is worth so much, but is it actually worth anything? Burning currency is illegal, but he did it anyway to make us question why we value certain things. He gives his opinion in a very blunt way but, he gets it out there.
