The Sparrow and Decolonialism
2026/11/06
I just want you to know, I didn't plan for things to go this way. If anyone did, God did. Blame him, my takes just fall like flaming sparrows. We're talking The Sparrow and how it is chock full of colonialist tropes that really killed the vibe for me.

I Who Have Never Known Men and Existentialism
2026/10/23
Everything is gender! And Also nothing is gender! Everything is a prison, but also freedom! The universe is absurd and yet we can still somehow fill it with meaning. All this and more in one of the bleakest and most uplifting takes on The Absurd that we've ever looked at. We discuss all the existentialist elements of this fascinating book.

Shards of Earth Pt.2 and Alien Moral Realism
2026/08/28
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!

Shards of Earth and Eugenics Pt.1
2026/08/08
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!

Space Pirate Queen of the Ten Billion Utopias
2026/07/17
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!

The Amazing Digital Circus Episode Four and Sartre's No Exit
2026/06/26
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 Measure and Imperfect Foreknowledge
2026/06/14
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!

Children of Strife and Advanced Honor Culture pt. 2
2026/05/23
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 f*****g go!

Starfleet Academy 1.5 and Purposeful Creation
2026/04/13
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.

Pluribus and the Act/Omission Distinction
2026/03/27
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!

Fascinating
Very interesting, gives me new insight into the sci-fi I love.

Fake woke
The performative wokeness makes this show at time un listenable. Being a stick I’m the mud doesn’t make you an ally. It makes you a phony.
