    Conversations of the undead

    We have all heard that the journey is more important than the end but in this episode, we flip the script to see how the end is what gives meaning to the journey. We look at what the world could be in the year 17776 and the challenges of a game that never ends. Ashwini explores what zombies can teach you about our fractured empathy while Nithya contemplates her decision to champion immortality.

    What is this hype all about ?

    In this episode we discuss what hype is all about ? Why are meme pages going private ? and why does the plan for a Goa trip almost always fail ? We also talk about how clapping is infectious and about the supreme brick which costs $1000. Nithya and our guest Akshara reminisce on their forgotten youtube channel and death of ideas in general while Ashwini elaborates on the stages of the hype cycle.
