Someone on Reddit put a screenshot of the offices at the also all safe, the, the security company from season one where Elliot used to work now defunct. He's taken over their offices as his makeshift headquarters. And who might be responsible for, for who knows communications with white rose that led directly to some extra bad shit happening.

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.
