Socrates at the Cinema episodes
- Ep. 2 - The Dark Knight (2008)
Is Batman the hero of The Dark Knight, or does the Joker actually win the argument? We dig into Locke, Machiavelli, and Plato's noble lie to figure out whether Gotham's peace is built on justice or just a very convincing deception.
47 min - Ep. 1 - Jurassic Park (1993)
Jurassic Park promised dinosaurs but delivered a 30-year-old argument: does science exist to serve knowledge, or to serve power? Trent and Bill dig into Spielberg's classic through Bacon, Rudolf Otto, and the philosophy of wonder, then ask what it means for AI today.
Socrates at the Cinema: great films, great ideas, great conversations.
