Philosophers In Space

Not long before the meds wear off so gotta be quick. We're covering the SCP antimemetics hub. Your mission is to start at the top of the page and familiarize yourself with everything in order from the top down through the report entitled "Your last first day", though you're free to dive as deep as you like, just don't forget to eat and sleep or hug your loved ones. We're coving the mind melting ho...

So, this wasn't exactly a light and breezy episode, content warning for getting really earnest about end of life stuff. But it felt valuable so hopefully it feels that way to y'all too.

Well, we've come to the end of our very strange journey...or have we? Maybe there is no end to this bug anus journey and we'll just be finding new levels of bug anus from here on out. Maybe the bug anus symbolizes the gaping hole of alienation inside us all.  Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existenz Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filme...

We've reached the peak of bug anus mountain! The greatest Cronenberg movie there ever was, the driving force behind all his weirdness.

Feel that itch, that strange rash that seems to be pulsing in weird ways? Don't worry, it's just the new flesh finding fertile soil. By the end of this journey we'll all be beautiful flesh flowers. We're doing a Cronenjourney, starting with Videodrome and the philosophy of Marshall Mcluhan.

Okay, sorry we're a bit late on this loop, I promise next loop we'll be back on track and hopefully we can manage for the next several hundred loops. We discuss The Endless and how it relates to Nietzsche's conception of eternal return. As mentioned at the beginning, The Endless is actually the second movie in a series, I didn't realize that until too late, but I also think you're better off watch...

Honestly, after 2.5 hours of this movie I was hoping the awakening really would happen and suck me into the middle of the planet.

We are such stuff as griefs are made on, and our little play is rounded with some swelling music. We're discussing the rest of Station Eleven, and what it says about our relationship to the past.

To crib Hamlet or not to crib Hamlet, that is the question. Whether tis nobler in the shownotes to suffer the satires and absurdness of a tortured soliloquy, or by jumping to the links end them. We're covering the glorious station 11 and for part one we're talking about philosophy of theater.

Through the magic of podcasting, we string together a series of movies that are actually 20 years apart. Is this an emotional return or a soulless cash grab or a confused mess of grief.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix_Resurrections   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   Support us at Patreon: h t t p s...

It seems that in any world, no matter the number of eyes, Jason Momoa is king. We watched Apple TV's See and had a good look see at what it says about the social model of disability and the potential limits of that model.  Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_(TV_series) Aaron's atheism workshop: https://evergreen.humanitru.com/web/campaigns/the-innerwork-center ~winter-spring-2022?attend=id...

In keeping with the genre, the first half of this episode is just fighting noises and then the second half is philosophical monologues.

Just like we bridge the gap between movies, we must bridge the gap between the meat and machine. For both, we turn to the Animatrix, some of the best animated sci-fi there is. We cover several of the episodes and a couple issues around the alignment problem and awakening.   Animatrix: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0328832/   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals...

I'm just gonna assume you've already done the math and knew what sort of meta commentary I would put here, so I'll save us both the trouble.

Let's imagine your current identity was actually perfectly programmed to love every part of this podcast. Would that really be a bad thing? We're all having fun here watching a totally not creepy show about programming people to be exactly what we need them to be, plus they also have asthma. We try to figure out where the immorality is in all of this.   Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollh...

Hey friend, how you feeling? Want a juice box? You hit your head pretty hard.

Isn't life great?   Content: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/   The Brutality of American Capitalism: https://www.nytimes.com/int...
