Today we finish our discussion of Judith Butler's book "Gender Trouble" with chapter 3, and with special guest Mr. Tee. In this Butler caps off her book by re emphasizing the cultural basis for sex, gender, and identity, how they're ultimately performative, and how it's impossible to know what a pre-discursive concept would look because you're always describing it within the discourse.

Today we discuss David Chalmers' article "Facing Up to the Problem of Consciousness" with special guest Brother X. This article breaks down his famous "Hard problem of consciousness", which is essentially how to explain the phenomenon of experience. We also of course go on many tangents about why it's even important to discuss consciousness.

Today we discuss sections of Roger Penrose's book "Shadows of the Mind" with special guest Brother X. We focus on chapters 2.1-6 and 3.23, which detail Godel's Incompleteness Theorem and why Penrose thinks this points to a non-computational theory of consciousness.
