We've trapped two philosophers in deep space for your amusement. To stave off space madness, they're beaming back podcasts where they overanalyze science fiction to mine it for delicious philosophical concepts. Tune in to our fun little experiment, with samplings from Black Mirror, Star Trek, Rick and Morty, and many more! Live long and philosopher.
This is the audio feed for the hangout portion of Jeremiah's YouTube channel, Jerb the Humanist. In it, Jeremiah talks to activists and other folks doing important work online and in meatspace.
Time to turn on, tune in, and pod out! Can't stop here, this is pod country! Y'all mind if I do a pod? And other such drug culture humor. We're doing the classic Altered States and discussing the philosophy of the psychonauts. Lets get wild!

Today we sit in judgment of the greatest of all Star Trek captains for the least coherent of all possible moral choices. In the case of Janeway v. Tuvix, we rule summarily against Janeway and then do our best to pretend like it's an open question.

We must struggle through though as we can't really explain the brilliant climax without explaining the absurd journey of the misguided bipeds.
