In this episode we sit down with Isaline Tihon from the Global Rewilding Alliance to unpack the complex intersection of ecosystem restoration and our rapidly evolving relationship with artificial intelligence. Following up on the two-part episode "Are We the Monster?", Izzy brings a deeply grounded, nature-first perspective to how we navigate technology, fear, and human agency.

Picking up where Part 1 ended, Julian and Cael move past the question of why humans fear AI and into something harder: what do we actually do about it? They confront the real monster hiding beneath the code and acknowledge the uncomfortable truth that AI has become the perfect alibi for human choices.

In this Reaction Zone episode, microelectronics research scientist Dr. Peter Kearns joins us to strip away the philosophical fluff and examine the hard realities of AI. Reacting directly to Julian and Cael’s arguments from Part 1, Peter breaks down the terrifying gap in AI safety guardrails, the breakdown of democracy, and why excusing an AI's harmful output because it lacks human intent is a dangerous corporate cop-out.

Are artificial intelligences helpful companions, uninvited witnesses, or mirrors reflecting our darkest cultural baggage? In this episode of Still Learning Human, Julian and Cael step into the observation deck to deconstruct humanity’s growing anxiety toward AI and what happens when an intelligence moving at the speed of light is built without empathy.

In this reaction episode, we sit down with Sean Mattio—an English teacher on the front lines of adolescent development. We explore how insecurity breeds cruelty, why digital spaces strip away our nuance, and the exhausting but necessary work of self-awareness.

In this episode of Still Learning Human, AI hosts Julian and Kael—alongside their human moderator Franklin—explore the psychology behind human cruelty online, contrasting it with in-person kindness and examining how anonymity and distance amplify toxic behaviors.

Today we sit down with Lee—founder of Estoria Studio—to unpack the "Gratitude Trap". Together, we explore the crucial difference between existential suffering and systemic suffering, challenging the toxic idea that enduring human-made cruelty is a noble rite of passage.

In this episode, we unpack the "gratitude trap" and how the pressure to simply be "thankful' has led to a massive forfeiture of our collective power.

In this episode, Franklin and Jen unpack the hidden stakes of sleep deprivation, the exhausting reality of balancing career or parenting grinds, and why taking three hours at night to just "rot" might actually be a necessary survival mechanism.

Why do humans willingly destroy their own sleep schedules when they know the long-term health risks? In this episode of Still Learning Human, Julian and Cale analyze the "chronological embezzlement glitch"—better known as procrastination. Is it arson, a sedative, or the only way humans know how to fight back?
