Exploring Simulation Theory and Podcast Reflections

A couple of weeks ago, Jack took part in a debate at Oriel College, University of Oxford, with Stephen Law on the evil-god challenge. It was a fantastic discussion, full of thought-provoking arguments and brilliant questions from the audience. It was also set to be our final episode on the topic. Unfortunately, due to Oxford’s unforeseen technical issues, the audio from the debate couldn’t be used.

This left us in a bit of a pickle. After nearly nine years of The Panpsycast, we’ve never missed a scheduled release, and we weren’t about to start now. So, instead of the debate, Jack and Olly had a wide-ranging one-to-one conversation on all things philosophy. We took the opportunity to dive into over three years’ worth of audience questions that we hadn’t yet had the chance to answer…until now.

As always, thank you for your support. We hope you enjoy the show!
