Using her torture porn/mad scientist philosophical horror novel Violent Faculties as a springboard, we explore a wide range of questions, such as "What separates humans from other species?," "Why is philosophy an undervalued study in academia?," "What is the soul?," "Do we desire to hurt each other?," "Who came first: us or God?," and so much more. Really dug this conversation. Enjoy and keep it going in the comments.
