Children of Strife and Advanced Honor Culture pt. 2
3w ago01:39:33Tap to summarizeOh 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!

Transcribe →Pluribus and the Act/Omission Distinction
Mar 2701:31:14Tap to summarizeHere 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!

Transcribe →Harrow the 9th pt. 2 and Ethics with Uncertainty
Jan 1001:42:44Tap to summarizeAh yes, part two, where things really get cooking, as it were. We're back with more Harrows, more confusingly named characters, and some proper sizzle! RESPECTFULLY! We also talk about how the unreliability of our own understanding impacts how we do ethics. Enjoy!

Dec 2102:12:30Tap to summarizeWe finally made it! Got it in before Alecto comes out, so you gotta give us credit for that! Truly, this is a labor of love.

Transcribe →Hazbin Hotel and Critiquing Universalism
Dec 501:35:31Tap to summarizeOnce again, I want to open with "I'm sorry" for all of this. If you're considering condemning us to content creator hell for our takes, first consider the question: What Would Charlie Do? Charlie would say, despite our worst takes, we are still redeemable! So, we're doing the first two seasons of Hazbin Hotel and doing a 200 level discussion on universalism about salvation and why it may be the best option for believers but it's still a legitimizing myth. Please don't hate us!
