 Today we sit in judgment of the greatest of all Star Trek captains for the least coherent of all possible moral choices. In the case of Janeway v. Tuvix, we rule summarily against Janeway and then do our best to pretend like it's an open question.     Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/     Support us at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/0G     Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/0gPhilosophy     Join our Facebook discussion group (make sure to answer the questions to join):  https://www.facebook.com/groups/985828008244018/     Email us at: philosophersinspace@gmail.com     If you have time, please write us a review on iTunes.

Welcome to the Void Vault, the best of all possible vaults! You're so lucky you were born into this vault, especially because you can't leave. But why would you, everything in this vault is totally fine, you are absolutely NOT a test subject for some undisclosed social psychology experiment, especially not an experiment involving the development of new orifices. While you wait to see our totally safe doctors about that weird itching sensation, enjoy our discussion on the super good Fallout series and the popular but maybe ethically questionable concept "laboratories of democracy". Enjoy, and remember, please keep your responses honest, this is for scientific posterity.

Fallout and Laboratories of Democracy

If you think about it, on the downsizing principles this is like a years worth of content, and two sentences is endless show notes. Or something, I dunno, the scaling doesn't really make any sense, much like the conceptual map surrounding altruism. Enjoy!

Downsizing and Altruisms

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!
