EV - 228 Philosophers on Consciousness with Jack Symes

Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

My guest this week is Callie Wright, cohost of the Philosophers in Space podcast and the only person I want to be parsing bear discourse with. We discuss the recent dust up around the hypothetical "would you prefer to encounter a man or a bear in the woods". We discuss why people are having such different responses on the hypothetical and whether this is a particularly cursed discourse, or just normal level cursed discourse. Enjoy!
