From the personal to the political, we discuss the moral ups and downs of New Horizons' take on the culture wars. Are child soldiers good as long as the cause is just enough? Is it better to get wiped out doing the right thing or team up with space TERFs to fight space robo-nazis? All these question, plus a big announcement!

If you had told me 10 years ago that we'd be having this level of Star Trek adjacent content AND it would be getting super serious into issues of gender affirming care for young individuals AND AND Seth McFarlin was in charge, I probably would have been a bit nervous. But trust me, don't be nervous on this one, now that they're not under the thumb of Big Fox, they can get woke and explore the identity universe together. So today we're covering ep5 of the New Horizons season of Orville, and discussing how it reflects our current discourse on Gender Identity.

Bringing it all together, and putting it on breakfast carbs!

This ones a lot, it really is everything all at once, so we brought in some help. From the Alpha verse, the multidimensional paterfamilias Jesse Rabinowitz joins us to discuss the Buddhist philosophy behind EEAAO. In part one we discuss the first half(ish, it's a lot) of the movie and the problem of Everything. In part two we'll discuss their "solution".

Season two of the boys was some of the most messed up content I'd ever seen, until the first three episodes of season three. It's all brilliant, but yeah, hard to imagine a more Hobbesian Leviathan than Homelander. Homelander's Leviathan.

THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN. THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN! Sorry, couldn't resist that one. We're back, and we're talking one of our favorite shows, The Boys! This episode we're focused on the Stormfront arc in season two, some of the best writing ever put to tv. We cover how perfectly the season unpacks the problem of white christian nationalism. Enjoy!

The last of our digitally uploaded selves will now wind down for your listening pleasure. Our biological selves will again meet to create new digital versions, but for these ones, their time in stasis will be followed by a brief flash of existence before a return to the long dark. We discuss Archive and all the weird Frankensteiny possibilities and horrors beyond human comprehension we're likely gonna build because we can't just accept the sweet embrace of death for ourselves and our loved ones.

We survived, and yet like all Culture protagonists we've been fundamentally changed by the experience. Can we return to the safety and normalcy of other sci-fi after this? Will we eventually succumb to ennui and ask to be frozen in stasis until Banks is reincarnated and starts writing again? Guess we'll have to do another culture book to find out. In the meantime, here's a discussion of what happens when you try to just war theory at a scale that precludes the idea of mere survival as an objective.  Content: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consider_Phlebas Editing by Luisa Lyons, check out her amazing podcast Filmed Live Musicals: http://www.filmedlivemusicals.com/ Support us at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/0G Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/0gPhilosophy Join our Facebook discussion group (make sure to answer the questions to join): https://www.facebook.com/groups/985828008244018/ Email us at: philosophersinspace@gmail.com If you have time, please write us a review on iTunes.

A book so big we barely manage to cover even a piece of it in three episodes. Don't be deceived by the vaguely unsatisfying nature of the narrative on first reading, this book is a culture ship packed with philosophy. In part two our minds reel as we attempt to grasp the scale of the Culture and the space it inhabits.

Alright you mother humpers! Time to dip into the modern classics archive and talk about a movie that was "formative" for lots of us if lots of ways. From nerd fetish to Kevin Bacon fetish to prepper mommy fetish to giant graboid tentacle fetish, there's a lot to enjoy. Plus we discuss a philosophical subculture that is pretty relevant to the current rolling collapse of functioning government.

In order to get to the show notes you'll first need to walk through an endless series of boring halls very slowly. At which point you'll get a tiny glimpse of the show notes the have to wait till next season to see if they really pay off. But you're so alienated this will seem extremely fair, and otherwise we'll make you do correctives.
