    Is Climate Change the End of Humanity? | Episode 6

    We’ve been told for decades now that there is a climate catastrophe heading our way. Science says that the world is warming, and that humans are the cause, but over half of Americans disagree. Is climate change just a hoax designed to drive us towards communism? How do we know that the temperature changes we’ve seen aren’t natural? If global warming is real, can we even do anything about it, and are 2 degrees Celsius really going to bring about the end of humanity?

    Can Objective Morality Exist Without God? | Episode 4

    Our society relies on a common understanding of right and wrong, but what happens when we disagree? Is morality subjectively defined by our own individual feelings and the culture that we grew up in, or can moral values be universally known and applied? Join us for episode 4 of Flipside Podcast where we explore different moral philosophies like cultural relativism, utilitarianism, and Kantian ethics, debate the trolley problem, and dive into the role of religion in shaping moral codes. Tune in for your weekly dose of deep thinking and thought-provoking discussion!

    Gun Laws and Mass Shootings - Gun Control Part 2 | Episode 2

    In part two of our gun control series, we begin by discussing the correlation between strict gun laws and gun homicide rates. Next, we debate the efficacy and implications of several gun control policies like a waiting period, more thorough mental health checks, raising the legal age to purchase a gun, and banning certain weapons like assault rifles. Finally, we talk through the issue of school shootings in America and adjudicate several proposed solutions such as arming staff members. Do guns make communities safer or more dangerous? How do we navigate the fine line between protecting the right to self defense and ensuring the safety of kids and civilians? We'll tackle all these questions and more on this episode of FlipSide.
