0G196: Everything Everywhere All at Once pt1

This ones a lot, it really is everything all at once, so we brought in some help. From the Alpha verse, the multidimensional paterfamilias Jesse Rabinowitz joins us to discuss the Buddhist philosophy behind EEAAO. In part one we discuss the first half(ish, it's a lot) of the movie and the problem of Everything. In part two we'll discuss their "solution".

0G195: The Boys Season Three and Hobbes' Leviathan

Season two of the boys was some of the most messed up content I'd ever seen, until the first three episodes of season three. It's all brilliant, but yeah, hard to imagine a more Hobbesian Leviathan than Homelander. Homelander's Leviathan.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN. THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! Sorry, couldn't resist that one. We're back, and we're talking one of our favorite shows, The Boys! This episode we're focused on the Stormfront arc in season two, some of the best writing ever put to tv. We cover how perfectly the season unpacks the problem of white christian nationalism. Enjoy!

0G193: Archive and Advanced Philosophy of Digital Personhood

The last of our digitally uploaded selves will now wind down for your listening pleasure. Our biological selves will again meet to create new digital versions, but for these ones, their time in stasis will be followed by a brief flash of existence before a return to the long dark. We discuss Archive and all the weird Frankensteiny possibilities and horrors beyond human comprehension we're likely gonna build because we can't just accept the sweet embrace of death for ourselves and our loved ones.

0G192: Consider Phlebas and Galactic Just War pt.3

We survived, and yet like all Culture protagonists we've been fundamentally changed by the experience. Can we return to the safety and normalcy of other sci-fi after this? Will we eventually succumb to ennui and ask to be frozen in stasis until Banks is reincarnated and starts writing again? Guess we'll have to do another culture book to find out. In the meantime, here's a discussion of what happens when you try to just war theory at a scale that precludes the idea of mere survival as an objective.

0G191: Consider Phlebas and Philosophy of Scale pt.2

A book so big we barely manage to cover even a piece of it in three episodes. Don't be deceived by the vaguely unsatisfying nature of the narrative on first reading, this book is a culture ship packed with philosophy. In part two our minds reel as we attempt to grasp the scale of the Culture and the space it inhabits.

A book so big we barely manage to cover even a piece of it in three episodes. Don't be deceived by the vaguely unsatisfying nature of the narrative on first reading, this book is a culture ship packed with philosophy. We start out, as the book does, with an attempt to steelbot the argument against the culture.

0G189: Three Robots Exit Strategies and Billionaire Preppers

Congrats, you've been selected to be a servant in my billionaire bunker. You'll be required to get an implant that will explode if you try to hurt me, but other than that you'll be totally free to survive the apocalypse and live out the rest of your life feeding me and cleaning up after me.
