The Amazing Digital Circus Episode Four and Sartre's No Exit
Philosophers In Space
Welcome back friends! I just know you're going to love today's adventure, because if you don't that would be sad, and I don't like sad things and will prevent them from happening by any means necessary. Hopefully a super fun show about the horror of being known by others will be sufficient, because my back up options get very messy and not in the fun after dark way! So, without further adieu, we are talking about The Amazing Digital Circus, with an emphasis on episode four. Really though we're mining the whole show to help us understand the existential nightmare that is our own existence. So,...

Philosophers In Space
Oh yeah! Nothing dominates like a mecha-punchy-shrimp! The only thing better than a mecha-punchy-shrimp is one that has feels! But just the right amount of feels. This episode we get into two question near and dear to my heart 1) Can you have honor culture without dominance mindsets and 2) Do some people need the looming threat of punchy shrimp to not act terrible? Let's get that honor boys, lets fucking go!

Pluribus and the Act/Omission Distinction
Philosophers In Space
Here it is, the smolderiest piece of Sci-Fi this year. Get absolutely absorbed by an all time greatest pilot episode and then settle in for the grinding horror of being a self-hating person living in a narcissist's wet dream. Then we'll save you from the horror by breaking down how incoherent The Other's ethics are and what it says about the inconsistencies in our own ethics. Plus, unsurprisingly, some very significant after dark discussion. Enjoy!
