  • 0G117: Avatar and Moral Realism, Part 2

    Beware the ethics benders my child. The most advanced among them can make even cold blooded murder ethical. We're covering Avatar and combining it with another round of our endless series of debates over metaethics. Highly recommend listening to this interview with Schafer Landau first.

  • 0G116: Avatar the Last Airbender and Agent Neutral Buddhist Ethics, Part 1

    Free Will...Ethics...Consciousness...Boxes, these are the four elements of the philosophical universe, each element mastered by benders that can shape the very fabric of the metaverse with their will. Into each generation is born one podcast, the Avapod, that can bend all four elements and bring peace to the metaverse. This is the story of that podcast, and how it balanced personal and impersonal viewpoints to save everybody from all the bad things.

  • 0G115: Anathem and Polycosmic Protism, Part 3

    The incantor chanting was successful! We've reached the timeline where we all survived Anathem and learned a valuable lesson about picking the right timeline. Thanks again to Noah for chanting us safely through and hope you enjoy this discussion of Polycosmic Platonism.

  • 0G114: Anathem and the Linguistic Turn, Part 2

    The epic longnwalkin continues with Anthem part two! We cross Arbre and 120 years of philosophical history at the same time. I do my best to explain how philosophy got really obsessed with language for a few decades in the early 1900's and now philosophy is healing. Arbre seems to have never escaped the linguistic turn and that fact explains so much of the subtext of the Mathic world. Hope this helps add another layer of interesting to the mix.

  • 0G113: Anathem and Platonism, Part 1

    Pod-Apert has finally arrived! Throw open the doors of the RSS feed and let some causal wisdom trickle down the wick. We're doing a three part journey though Neal Stephenson's Anathem, and we're joined by the Grandfraa Jad to my Fraa Erasmus, Noah Lugeons! This is by far the most requested pairing of material and guest we've ever had, and there's no question why. This is what this show was built for. For part one, we cover Platonism (Protism) and the theory of Forms (Cnoons)

  • 0G112: Psychopass and Freewill QnA

    Well, as a result of our near pitch black psychopasses, we've both been pressed into service by the AI sovereign to continue to talk about free will for all eternity. We got some great questions from folks about the relationship between free will and the justice system that pair nicely with the virtue ethics version of Minority Report.
