Episodes
Dr. Matthews is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Southampton, studying the relationship between virtue epistemology, scepticism, and conspiracy theories as part of the Ethics of Doubt project. Join us for a conversation about knowledge, courage, and much more.
Finn and I explore the Myth of Sisyphus, a man punished to push a rock up a mountain for eternity, only to fall down when he reaches the top. We talk about the double marathon I ran to put my self into the shoes of Sisyphus.
Finn and I continue our talk on artificial intelligence. We talk about Ian Banks’s novels of a future world that integrates AI well, we touch on what brings meaning to us in a world where AI does most jobs, and question if humans will date AI robots. Join us!
Finn and I talk about Artificial Intelligence. We touch on the AI race, Demis Hassabis, AGI and what would make an AI conscious. Join us!
In this episode, Finn and I explore consciousness. We walk through different philosophical frameworks of reality—such as materialism and idealism—and examine how our understanding of AI changes when we view it through these different lenses.
Finn and I talk about attachment theory. Attachment theory, developed by John Bowlby, explains how early relationships with caregivers shape our expectations of safety and connection. It argues that the need for closeness is a basic biological drive, not a weakness. Join us for this fun discussion
Finn and I discuss the book Nothing by Frank Close. Better audio next time.
