Andrew is joined by Darren and Doug to discuss dualism, but the conversation rapidly turns to what it means to think at all. What do we know about thought? How does that apply to free will? Can sophisticated software think, and if so, does it make decisions like humans? The answers may surprise you, and the boundaries may not be as clear as you "think".

Andrew and Matthew take a challenge and ask Alex J. O'Connor to come and talk about being Vegan. Alex makes a very strong case for going Vegan and clarifies why it's a lifestyle, not a diet. It was a genuine pleasure having Alex talk with us, he presents his case well and doesn't hold back from challenging existing norms.

We cover as much as we can, but we can't cover everything so if you want to hear more from Alex,  submit comments and questions to [email protected] and we'll beg him to return.

Alex's YouTube channel is Cosmicskeptic: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7kIy8fZavEni8Gzl8NLjOQ
