This is a copy of a copy of a copy an episode of which there is no original. 

utilitarianism, what we learned at school, the use value of education vs the joy of learning, how to make life long learners, how what you like doesn't matter, appreciation as consumerism, all actions as consumption, adaptations for a life not lived, luxury, the time ainsley stayed up all night watching married at first sight, which tools verses why build in the work of marina abramovic. we talk about this tweet: https://twitter.com/TrevDon/status/1296975375227064323

The matrix is both a documentary about how the world works and also a metaphor for how the world works. Work that one out! We skirt dangerously close to a lot of topics in this one without ever actually getting to them. Sam has been adopted by a cat probably in a exploitative relationship. But who is exploiting who?! 

Confusingly anti-utilitarians and utilitarians believe the same thing - one is pro happiness and the other is anti suffering. Anyway, we refuse to disclose if we are vegans or not because individual choice is not really relevant. Imagine thinking your diet is political?!

Please go to this Youtube video. It is a masterpiece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMq1PiUbf-M

Sam does some full on stuff to mice. Ainsley lets antinatalism get through to the keeper like a dumbo.

I really chopped and screwed this one around. Lmk if you can't follow it.

It features the eerily haunting and pulsating sounds of our mate Costa - listen to them in full here because it's honestly a journey and seems like a pretty great soundtrack to lockdown tbh https://constantinexii.bandcamp.com/album/e-l-e-m-e-n-t-a-l-2

Special Guest Mavis "Maverick" Mahoney adds a unique perspective on lockdown. We discuss the latest mobile MMO sweeping the primary schools: Sky, Children of Light at great length. 

Peter Allan was wrong! It turns out when all of the ships come back to the shore we don't get to be together at all. Everyone's finally home and i don't even get to see them! Everyone except Shmoosh that is who is holidaying in the south of France and needs podcast content to fill his sea side days. So this ep is a return to form for Shmoosh, with love. xx

Sam is reporting from Adelaide on the newest game sweeping the universe and Ainsley is trying not to go full sadness - all placebos welcome.
