In this non-Christmasy Christmastime episode, Katie and Drew get real talking about how Terminator-style time travel would work and what that would mean for us.

Welcome to our first Metapod. And yes, we know it's a Pokemon. It works, I promise. We didn't do our homework this week so we're going back to the basics and just doing some parking lot talk. We swing back around to consciousness, talk about trying new things, and as always, tell you about the goodish, mediocreish, and badish of what's been entertaining us lately. We'll be introducing some of the time travel concepts we'll be talking about in the future, but most of that is yet to come.

Drew and Kate continue their discussion of fundamentalism, particularly regarding truth, agency, and leadership. Drew then talks about the goodish, badish, and mediocreish of what he's been watching lately.

Drew and Katie discuss how Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War represents the Christian evangelical god. Katie tries to convert Drew. The conversation continues next week in part 2 of this discussion on fundamentalism.

Drew and Katie break down their thoughts about the 2018 midterm election results, continue their conversation about consciousness as it relates to the question of whether we are living in a simulation, and then talk about some of their TV and movie recommendations.

Drew and Katie break down the topic of consciousness through the lens of Ghost In The Shell, Star Trek, The Prestige, and a few more.
