Okay, so I've got a very specific ax to grind, but this is a wonderful wetstone to grind it on! So often I get the question "if you think morality is real, are you saying it would apply to super weird aliens?!" and I'm here to say yessssssssssss with examples! Enjoy!

We made it! We traversed the creepiest of unspaces to deliver unto you the wonders of the cosmos. The real question is whether your unaugmented grey matter can absorb all this vast amazingness. For part one we'll be discussing advanced arguments on the topic of eugenics. Enjoy!

Welcome to the weirdly specific booniverse! Where all boons are perfectly tailored to you in a way that feels pretty creepy, like someone is writing the life you're living. This time it's Ursa's turn to feel both seen and attacked as we explore this very on point story about the nature of social progress as portrayed by space train hopping pirate queens. Enjoy!

Welcome back friends! I just know you're going to love today's adventure, because if you don't that would be sad, and I don't like sad things and will prevent them from happening by any means necessary. Hopefully a super fun show about the horror of being known by others will be sufficient, because my back up options get very messy and not in the fun after dark way! So, without further adieu, we are talking about The Amazing Digital Circus, with an emphasis on episode four. Really though we're mining the whole show to help us understand the existential nightmare that is our own existence. So, enjoy! Or else!

The boxes are back, and this time it's personal! No one box vs. two box this time, just the one box and no good options! We're discussing The Measure and how it measures up and of course what's the right amount of foreknowledge. Enjoy!

Oh yeah! Nothing dominates like a mecha-punchy-shrimp! The only thing better than a mecha-punchy-shrimp is one that has feels! But just the right amount of feels. This episode we get into two question near and dear to my heart 1) Can you have honor culture without dominance mindsets and 2) Do some people need the looming threat of punchy shrimp to not act terrible? Let's get that honor boys, lets fucking go!

Welcome to woke space school! All the lens flare of a AAA reboot with 20% more queer than a Discovery Lower Deck. We're discussing episode 5 in particular, Series Acclamation Mil, and the ethics of creating people for a purpose.

Here it is, the smolderiest piece of Sci-Fi this year. Get absolutely absorbed by an all time greatest pilot episode and then settle in for the grinding horror of being a self-hating person living in a narcissist's wet dream. Then we'll save you from the horror by breaking down how incoherent The Other's ethics are and what it says about the inconsistencies in our own ethics. Plus, unsurprisingly, some very significant after dark discussion. Enjoy!
