White privilege, motivations behind being in the mental health field and much, much more as I sit down to talk with a former case manager at the site I currently am interning at. If you're thinking about doing work in a residential setting, or mental health in general, this is the episode for you! I apologize in advance...I had a bad cold and sub-par audio equipment but all the meat is still there.

Spoiler Alert: It wasn't Taye Diggs. It was her! We talk counseling, self-care, family, race and whip out our magic wand to find out what we would do to make the world a better place. Gelissa is a long-time friend I've had in the program and I've wanted her on the show to show the world how great she is. You can find her Insta at: https://www.instagram.com/theartofopeningup/

Ben joins on this weeks episode to give what could possibly be considered a prequel to all of the Transhuman shows we've had as of late. We talk about neuron control, prosthetics (both in general and some of things he's been involved with), and the necessity, for better or worse, of the FDA. 

Ben's work with exoskeletons mentioned on the show: http://pwp.gatech.edu/hpl/wp-content/uploads/sites/874/2018/08/CollinsWigginSawicki_Nature.pdf

As well as what he helped work on that was featured on Ray Kurzweil's blog: https://www.kurzweilai.net/ybrid-bio-robotic-system-models-physics-of-human-leg-locomotion

In this episode, we continue our dive into Transhumanism with Jan, a philosopher and technical cyborg, who takes us on a journey through some philosophy relating to Transhumanism, and much, much more. 

Some of the things Jan talks about: 

An excellent short story on our understanding of humanity through the eyes of bat: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/iatl/study/ugmodules/humananimalstudies/lectures/32/nagel_bat.pdf
