Free Will: Part Deux
This week on Studious, we return to our discussion on free will and see if there’s anything we can do to combat our fixed trajectories. Spoiler alert: hopefully we can. Tune in and find out.
Sapir-Worf!?!
This week on Studious we talk about linguistic relativity and aliens. And somehow I completely breezed over Arrival, not to be confused with the Charlie Sheen vehicle, The Arrival. Warning: if you get triggered easily, perhaps sit this one out. I’m mild sauce level offensive.
You Da Man? No, Eudaimonia.
This week, we talk virtue with Aristotle. Wanna know more? Listen to the episode, ya dingus.
NFTs: Art in the Age of Digitization.
Maybe you're into art or NFTs or both. Maybe you could give two shits about art. Well, this conversation is broader than just art or just NFTs, and delves into Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction. Benjamin saw the writing on the wall when it came to this new industrial age he found himself in. His views were reflexive of being a German intellectual in juxtaposition with the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany. Jesus, it just always goes back to the Nazis in this podcast, doesn't it?
Aye, Yai, Yai, AI.
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel, meh. I’ve always been a big fan of humanity, and hopefully we’ll step up to the plate once again, but if not, you can’t say I didn’t warn you.
