So in article Sam and I wrote we just talked about the case of being cruel to robots. Why why are people assuming that you're gonna torture the sex Just have sex with it like like if it's programmed to just give loving consensual sex Like what yeah, so Is is the idea that people will just naturally go to to the rape place because they know it's a robot or not? So let me ask you the question I asked Tamara then so you have these conscious robots and you're saying you get programmed into desire to enjoy Being subservient is that different for you than if you genetically engineered people with an equivalent desire?
What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than to bring back our favorite guest – Paul Bloom! We riff on a series of topics: the new “grievance studies” hoax, sex robot brothels, perverse desires, and perverse beliefs. Then we get a little navel gazey (OK maybe more than a little) and talk about podcasting as a form of media and discussion, good teaching, and what we’ve learned about our listeners and ourselves. (Note: the audio may sound a little echoey towards the end because of how far we’ve crawled up our own asses.) This was a fun one, enjoy!
Special Guest: Paul Bloom.
