In episode 216 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas compares controversial debates about abortion, birth control, and gun control to the controversies surrounding artificial intelligence. These topics evoke strong emotions and ethical dilemmas, raising questions about autonomy, morality, and the future of society. We'll analyze arguments from both sides, discuss public perceptions, and highlight how these debates reflect broader themes of progress and ethics. Let me know what you think!

In episode 214 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is joined by Philosophy Professor and fellow metalhead Krista Thomason. Dr. Thomason is a Professor of Philosophy at Swarthmore College, and she wrote the book, 'Dancing With The Devil; Why Bad Feelings Make Life Good'
The book argues that negative emotions aren't something to avoid but rather embrace. This advice goes against conventional wisdom, so I was excited to ask her questions about her thesis. This is quite contrary to more Stoic philosophies! Of course, we also chatted about metal!

In episode 213 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is joined by Sofia Frasz of symphonic blackened power metal band, Exiled Hope. Sofia is currently in law school studying to be a music attorney. I was curious to know why someone who is trained to know how predatory the music industry can be would want to make music herself. Once we got to talking about the new Exiled Hope album, Apocrypha, the subject of free will versus determinism came up. Her characters and music brought whole new questions to this age old debate. Join us!

In episode 212 of Heavy Metal Philosophy, Jon Barbas is joined by one of the anonymous members of Wrath of Logarius. They coined the term "Formless Black Metal" and I wanted to know what that is. What better way than to ask them? They appeared suddenly with their EP 'Necrotic Assimilation' and were immediately signed by Season of Mist. The buzz from their unique sound put them in a strange position. How do you tour when you're in such high demand, but no one knows who you are? Join us!
