Mr. Robot is currently filming the third and final season of his show, "The Americans" The series has just three seasons so it's going to end after this one. He says they'll be doing a special episode with their favorite characters from Deadwood. They're also working on some dark episodes that may come later in the season.
We try (with varying success) to wrap our heads around Thomas Nagel’s classic article “What is it Like to be a Bat?" Does science have the tools to give us a theory of consciousness or is that project doomed from the outset? Why do reductionist or functionalist explanations seem so unsatisfying? Is the problem that consciousness is subjective, or is it something about the nature of conscious experience itself? Is this ultimately an epistemological or metaphysical question? What are we talking about? Do we even know anymore?
Plus, the return of Mr. Robot! We talk about the big new mystery at the heart of the new season.
