It was writing fan fiction of Tamler. Yeah, it's very uncomfortable. It's not flattering stories. And also how a two-year-old solves a trolley problem. You just can't get enough of that. We love it. Even the stupid fucking trolley problem videos that we've seen a million times. So thank you. If you want to support us in more tangible ways, financially, you can become one of our beloved Patreons.

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.
