Philosopher, author, and co-host of Dystopia Now Émile Torres joins Bad Faith to discuss his coverage of Noam Chomsky & the Epstein files before engaging in a broader conversation about Big Tech titans' emphasis on a dystopian transhumanism that's rooted in eugenics and an unfounded faith in their own genetic superiority. How should the left compete with this Silicon Valley vision of the future? Does it look like Star Trek? Plur1bus? Or Bicentennial Man? Is human extinction necessarily bad if our moral "accounting" balances the beauty of humanity against our capacity for cruelty? A fascinating conversation you won't want to skip.
