Ep. 161: medieval tomes & digital souls


Listen Later

Dr. Keri Thomas joins us to talk about medieval manuscripts, death, and the possibility of digital resurrection. Are we entering a digital dark age, or are our mortal souls bound for the cloud?

Highlights:

[0:00] CoRri tells Keri and Marko about Europe's werewolf trials
[28:53] We dive right in with an introduction to Dr. Keri Thomas that spirals into a discussion of how digitization and resurrection are related
[66:03] We talk about the super metal way medieval manuscripts were made, how people would have read them, and how people lived so closely acquainted with death
[91:42] We talk a bit more about the Voynich Manuscript, which we discussed at length on the Laydown Podcast! Go listen!
