    Transhumanism

    In this episode we talk about the saddening truth of how eugenics and ableism permeate almost every aspect of transhumanism. The concept is interesting, it's featured in all sorts of media from tv shows to books, and the medical applications are staggering - but how do we make sure we don't rush toward innovation at the expense of others?

    Living in a Simulation

    In this episode we talk about whether or not we could be living in a simulation. We take a look at scientific theories and the reasoning behind them, as well as some indicators that we are indeed living in a simulation. We discuss the ethics behind rights for sentient NPCs as well as how you should treat others depending on whether you believe you're in a simulation or not.  Intro and Outro Music: Study And Relax by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5764-study-and-relax License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
