In this week’s episode we have a full house! Our OG podcasters are back at it, discussing gene editing and the benefits to developing gills for human species advancement – listen, we never said we were smart, we’ve always just said we were pretty. 

Using human genetic modification to create a super soldier subset of our species is the least of our concerns when we compare it to the damage that drones and AI can do through robotic engineering, and we further explore some of the thoughts around these ideas. Ultimately, we discuss whether we feel any of these medical or technological advancements will be able to impact our evolution to an extent that is felt across all demographics of humanity and enhance the democratization of society; and if not, what kind of universal change will be able to achieve this.

In this week’s episode, an Non-Vax and a Vaxer walk into a bar …. And they still walk out as friends!

Our hosts have a special friend and guest on air that brings to table some interesting arguments against the vaccine, resulting in the usual discourse and riveting discussion that ensues when we delve into a controversial topic. Unlike a lot of polarizing debates that seem to be flooding the waters these days, this discussion stays afloat and better yet, doesn’t sink any friendships.

It’s 2021 – you can’t host a podcast without talking about the vaccine. In today’s episode we’re missing a host, but there is no lack of content when it comes to debating the jab. We take the positions of pro-vax vs anti-vax and try to address some of the very polarizing ideologies that are contributing to the increasing divide that separates each of these proponents, and ultimately how the hell we can all still get along. 

But forget COVID, what brings one of our hosts closer to the brink of death than ever before is THE DIREWOLF ATTACK THIS WEEK. Unfortunately, he doesn't have any Stark blood on his side, so this leads to a life or death situation that could have had a very different ending if not for a bit of luck and quick thinking. 

Roses are red, violets are blue, when you hear them howl, you know you’re screwed.

How do you deal with friends that have increasingly polarized views from you, in a world that is increasingly divided? This week's episode focuses on how our hosts navigate those tricky waters, and how a clash of ideas vs a clash of identities can dramatically shape how a society functions. Serial killers and Paul Bernardo somehow manage to weave themselves into the conversation. Human reaction to fear of the unknown and the fact that our brains are not evolving at the same pace as scientific discovery lead our hosts down the path to debate whether technology will one day augment our physiological make up and turn us all into cyborgs. Capital punishment is always the best topic to end any chill session, and listeners finally get the scoop on how the podcast name came to be.

How do you manage to sweep the minds of an entire nation and convince them that a radical doctrine is fact? We explore how extreme ideologies, like ethnic cleansing and dehumanization, at various points of history have impacted the world and how we coexist. Nazis were fu*ked and history seems to repeat itself. The Youtube algorithm, Donald Trump and prison sex also come up.
