Philosophers In Space

Curled up in a ball shaking and crying muttering to myself "there are no ends, there is always another adventure. There's always more novelty out there." Seriously, what a ride, loved all of this and hope y'all do to. We're wrapping up Children of Ruin and discussing how it's nice to come together, but not too much together.

Everybody get loose and do the excited Paul dance, cause it's OCTO TIME! We got a tiny taste of the tentacles in pt1 but this ep is all about our favorite squishy little escape bois. We discuss their beautiful weirdness and introduce the also truly wonderful Creature from Nod, and explore how these entities push the boundaries of our ability to comprehend forms of distributed cognition radically different from our own. ALSO! We hit our puppy hangout goal! So that will be starting this month! Stay tuned for details. And in the meantime enjoy the most recent NASA, Robot Jox, which was maximally Joxy!

Yesssssss, we're out of the Q and A wormhole and back into the Childrenverse, where the humans are terrible, the world building is amazing, and all the uplifted critters can totally give consent. We are starting our three part adventure through book two of the Children of Time series. PLEASE READ CHILDREN OF TIME FIRST! And ideally go back and listen to our episodes on it, cause Adrian is the master of using every part of the worldbuilding. For this first part we discuss the problem of figuring out what it's like to be a Portid, or an Octo, or anybody really. Sometimes connected to the problem of other minds, I feel like it's really the problem of separate minds. But is it really a feature, or an uplifted bug? ALSO! We are extremely close to our goal of 350 patrons and the beginning of parasocial puppy hangouts!

NO YOU'RE CRYING! We're coping with the emotional abuse that is the second half of Andor and talking about the flip side of the fash coin, your anarchisms and what not. I'm gonna go sit in the dark and think about the monologues from episode 12 and wonder what's a functional version of bricking a fash.   Content: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9253284/   Listener Survey: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8ih4oa8ZSUaT0Cq   Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/   Music by Thomas Smith, check out his amazing podcast with Lindsey Osterman: https://seriouspod.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.

Hey, you look like a down-on-your-luck subject of a harmful government, could I interest you in a fun little heist story? We'll talk a bit about all the kinds of overbearing governments and I promise this totally won't end in you signing up for a revolution or anything.  Content: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9253284/ Listener Survey: https://rutgers.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8ih4oa8ZSUaT0Cq Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/ Music by Thomas Smith, check out his amazing podcast with Lindsey Osterman: https://seriouspod.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.

Writing show notes is the one true godlike power. The ability to shape the experiences of others, to craft a world that they run headlong into. It's pure strange energies. This week we're taking our first dip into Lower Decks, arguably the best of all Star Trek shows. we're covering season 2, episode 1, "Strange Energies", and exploring the humanist roots of Trek.

Just wild that this show has reached 200 episodes. 200 episodes worth of boxes and bug anuses. We've had a great run, hopefully folks will be happy with the coming changes. For our send off episode we cover the most recent Cronenberg creation and discuss what it says about art, authentic human connection, and the need to grow and try new things.

From the personal to the political, we discuss the moral ups and downs of New Horizons' take on the culture wars. Are child soldiers good as long as the cause is just enough? Is it better to get wiped out doing the right thing or team up with space TERFs to fight space robo-nazis? All these question, plus a big announcement!

If you had told me 10 years ago that we'd be having this level of Star Trek adjacent content AND it would be getting super serious into issues of gender affirming care for young individuals AND AND Seth McFarlin was in charge, I probably would have been a bit nervous. But trust me, don't be nervous on this one, now that they're not under the thumb of Big Fox, they can get woke and explore the identity universe together. So today we're covering ep5 of the New Horizons season of Orville, and discussing how it reflects our current discourse on Gender Identity.

Bringing it all together, and putting it on breakfast carbs!

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".

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.

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!

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.

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.  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.

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.
