We finale the podcast with speculation. What does fiction say about our society ten, fifty, hundreds of years down the line? (Here's the kicker: "fifty years down the line" fifty years ago is—well, now.) Virtual realities, cyberpunk, power, control, and space... Let's imagine many futures: some of them terrify us, and some are well worth fighting for.

From the moral dilemmas of autonomous AI to the creative potential of generative models, we explore intelligence, consciousness, and art. What is the value of consciousness—do we need more than higher intelligence to truly understand human creativity and ethical judgment?

In this episode, we explore how technology continually reshapes society and labour. From the Industrial Revolution to the rise of AI, we examine how advancements have redefined communication, productivity, and human purpose. As machines take on more of our roles, what remains of genuine connection, meaningful work, and the essence of being human?

How is AI reshaping the journey to adulthood? In this episode, we dive into the value of education in an age of automation, the nature of knowledge in a world of AI-generated answers, and how technology empowers and challenges the youth.

In our debut episode, we explore the “death of substance” in the digital age. How have social media and algorithms unraveled depth, autonomy, and meaning in our lives? Can we reclaim curiosity and authenticity in a world dominated by noise and manipulation?
