Harrow the 9th pt. 2 and Ethics with Uncertainty
Philosophers In Space
Ah yes, part two, where things really get cooking, as it were. We're back with more Harrows, more confusingly named characters, and some proper sizzle! RESPECTFULLY! We also talk about how the unreliability of our own understanding impacts how we do ethics. Enjoy!

Hazbin Hotel and Critiquing Universalism
Philosophers In Space
Once again, I want to open with "I'm sorry" for all of this. If you're considering condemning us to content creator hell for our takes, first consider the question: What Would Charlie Do? Charlie would say, despite our worst takes, we are still redeemable! So, we're doing the first two seasons of Hazbin Hotel and doing a 200 level discussion on universalism about salvation and why it may be the best option for believers but it's still a legitimizing myth. Please don't hate us! Hazbin Hotel: Support us at Patreon: Join our Facebook discussion group (make sure to answer the questions to...

Sinners and The Color Line
Philosophers In Space
Hell yeah, been fixing to do cover this new hotness since the moment I saw it. Now that it's widely available we can talk about all the ways it messes with the color line, what it says about solidarity politics, how it sets up the invention of bluegrass, and what the vampires really represent! Plus, keep your eyes out for a very related NASA!

Death's End and Daoist Ethics Pt.2
Philosophers In Space
Here we are at the end of our interminable journey! Millions of years in the blink of many hours. Seen some unbelievable stuff (4d space) and some super believable stuff (gender essentialism) and in the end we've really seen what happens when we stretch the scale of ethics to the breaking point. So, finally, we look at what this all says about Chinese philosophy, particularly what it means to be a Daoist sage. Enjoy!

The Dark Forest and Dark Forest Theory pt.2
Philosophers In Space
The darker the forest, the brighter the philosophy! Despite all odds, we press on against the horrors of both the fictional and our real universe to talk about what happens when you try to do sociology AT SCCCCCCAAAAAAALLLLLLEEEEEE! Besides parsing the end of the book, we parse the precepts of Dark forest and whether it holds water, what are plausible objections, and what does this tell us about the reality of conflicts at smaller scales.

Silo and Longterm Paternalism
Philosophers In Space
Coming out of our Silo and we're not doing fine! The air is still toxic and we're losing our minds! We're back at it with season two of Silo, and we're discussing the ethics and practicality of maintaining a system like this, as well as discussing the ableist implications of a common trope.
