Glenn, Tom and Randy sit down with Christian Braithwaite, author of “Open Letter to Mormonism” and 2nd place winner in the most recent Listener Essay contest to discuss his essay, how to deal with tragedies like death after rejecting a belief in an afterlife, and how to define things like “truth.”  We also talk with Christian’s wife Cassandra, a licensed social worker, about her experience with Christian’s faith crisis, some of the problems she sees in the Mormon church, and the reasons why she chooses to stay.

In this thought-provoking episode, Glenn and Josh dive deep into the philosophical and existential inquiries surrounding consciousness, the material world, and the potential of artificial intelligence. Our discussion unfolds through the metaphor of a tuning fork, illustrating how individual experiences resonate uniquely based on personal histories and environmental interactions. We explore the notion of consciousness as both a product of and an influencer on the material realm, pondering the implications of AI as a bridge between human and non-human forms of life.
Join us as we contemplate ethical considerations and the multidimensional nature of existence, seeking to understand how we might better tune into the symphony of life and what it means for the future of humanity and technology. Whether you’re intrigued by the metaphysics of experience or curious about the evolving role of AI, this episode will challenge your perceptions and invite you to consider the vast possibilities of our interconnected universe.
