In this episode, William Hamilton and I sat down with Michael Cholbi, an esteemed professor of the Philosophy of Death and Dying at the University of Edinburgh, to discuss three main topics related to euthanasia:

1. "What is Euthanasia" and how does it relates to assisted Suicide and "regular" suicide as well as the reasons one might choose to be euthanized.


2. The ethics of euthanasia, both from a legal and normative standpoint, i.e., should euthanasia be legal and is it morally right for someone to choose euthanasia?


3. A brief discussion on the importance of the Philosophy of Death and Dying.

In this episode we discuss this question:  "Is an addiction another form of slavery, i.e., does it take away our freedom?"

The word addiction stems from the Roman Myth Addictus. Addictus was a freed slave who still walked around with his chains even though he could have taken them off at any point because he had become so used to wearing them. We use this story as a jumping off point to discuss the relationship between addictions and freedom and the nature of addictions more broadly.

The question we invite you guys to answer is: "What thing that is not considered an addiction today, will be considered one in the future?"

In this short episode, I explore the effects of an individual's power on their willingness to exert that power. More specifically, I argue that the relationship between an individual's perceived power and the percentage of that perceived power they're willing to wield acts like the graph Y = (x-5)^2, where x is between [0,10].
(Side note: I have not conducted any research to construct this theory, it is based off of intuition and thinking about human behavior, so I will happily take feedback. Submitting feedback on Spotify is very easy, simply click the rely button next to the Q&A "What do you think of this episode," and type out your thoughts)
