Beware the ethics benders my child. The most advanced among them can make even cold blooded murder ethical. We're covering Avatar and combining it with another round of our endless series of debates over metaethics. Highly recommend listening to this interview with Schafer Landau first.

Once again, IT IS THE LEGEND! We return to the desert planet to train another faithful, and we're not stopping till we've made everyone super depressed again about the horrors of colonialism but also the horrors of de-colonialism. It's horrors all the way down folks! Enjoy, and stay tuned for Dune Messiah!

Dune pt 2

Dear listeners, there are few joys as wonderful as providing y'all with unknown little gems filled with quirky body horror and a deep commitment to the bit. This movie made my transhumanist orifices quiver with joy. Enjoy our discussion of the extremely mid concept that is "naturalness".

The Pod Generation and Naturalness

Listeners, have we got a story for you. Two Lovecraftian podcasters so far up their own allegorical asses they do a podcast about a movie about a podcaster doing a Lovecraft. It's meta all the way down folks, so naturally we're talking memetics and the ethics of content creation. Enjoy!

Monolith and Viral Memetics

We're keeping the theme going from Barbie with some weird mind connection gender stuff! We discuss the first two episodes of Sense8 and what they show us about the philosophy of TERFs, how that might be different from gender critical, and what the future is that TERFs seem to want.

Sense8 and TERFs

Is Barbie really a Barbie girl? And in what way is this really a Barbie world? How do we assess whether life in plastic really is fantastic, not to mention the questionable principles of consent inherent in the idea that you can undress her everywhere. Most importantly, is Barbie feminist, and if so, what kind of feminist? These earworm questions and more on this weeks instalment of Alienating your Audience! Enjoy!
