    S3 E6 The final one, a poem?

    This episode is a tribute to the whole journey of three seasons and a sign of gratitude to philosophy and of course all my patient and consistent listeners! It's also very personal as I have recited one of my pieces, and the only piece very inspired by philosophy! Hope you like it, art it is

    S3 E5 Hope pulls you back.

    S3 E5 Hope pulls you back.

    This episode is a revamp version of S1 E5 'To Hope is to Dare'. Since then, my perspective has changed and hence this. I am literally bringing to you my weirdest philosophical thoughts, and this one is surely a risky domain to experiment with! But we can always try, so here it is, the hope-belief dichotomy!

    S3 E3 Subjecrifying Human Bodies as Objects!

    The value of a human life, if truly contemplated upon, isn't much! Resourcefullness, productivity, purpose, these are the only parameters of why a human is relevant! Isn't that pretty dystopin, though? Well, happy listening! References: 1. Squid Game, the show 2. 'Docile Bodies' ~Michel Foucault

    S3 E2 The Essence of Technology is Nothing Technological!

    Technology, an (un)intended necessity of our lives, must be talked about, and why not from a philosophical point of view! This will be a bit technical, so lend me your full seven minutes!

    S3 E1 The Atheism Test!

    S3 E1 The Atheism Test!

    Can you rationalize your faith? Kirkegaard says no! But do we not critically analyze our religions, especially in the times of globalization when we have better knowledge of the dynamics of oppression. Is it correct to play the faith card as a response then? Season 3 is all about contemplations like these, at the end of every episode, I will leave you with questions like these. Happy listening!
    The Atheism Test and the beginning and end are an analogy to the Machine test, The Imitation Game (Have you seen a more crazy fan?).
