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.

0G190: Consider Phlebas and Critiquing the Culture pt.1

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.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consider_Phlebas   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   Support us at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/0G   Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/0gPhilosophy   Join our Facebook discussion group (make sure to answer the questions to join): https://www.facebook.com/groups/985828008244018/   Email us at: philosophersinspace@gmail.com   If you have time, please write us a review on iTunes.

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. Doesn't that sounds amazing?!

0G188: Tremors and Doomsday Prepperism

Alright you mother humpers! Time to dip into the modern classics archive and talk about a movie that was "formative" for lots of us if lots of ways. From nerd fetish to Kevin Bacon fetish to prepper mommy fetish to giant graboid tentacle fetish, there's a lot to enjoy. Plus we discuss a philosophical subculture that is pretty relevant to the current rolling collapse of functioning government.

0G187: Severance and Corporate Culture Alienation

In order to get to the show notes you'll first need to walk through an endless series of boring halls very slowly. At which point you'll get a tiny glimpse of the show notes the have to wait till next season to see if they really pay off. But you're so alienated this will seem extremely fair, and otherwise we'll make you do correctives.

0G186: Beforeigners and Transtemporalism Pt.2

They don't cover it in the show, but what happens with folks who genuinely feel they were meant to be born in the future. I identify as a member of the Culture society even if we're not there yet.

0G184: The Titan and Posthumanism

Break time! Psychologically speaking. No hard symbolism, no strong emotions. Just two hosts being deeply confused about an aggressively pointless movie, like man-bat god intended.
