We dig into the classic LW post Zombies! Zombies? and talk a lot of philosophy with Liam from the 2 Rash 2 Unadvised podcast.
I (Steven) spent a bunch of time trying to export the conversation from Discord that Liam, Eneasz, and I had. I thought it provided a lot of awesome extra depth to the episode’s topic. Did you know that it’s basically impossible to export from Discord? I’d have edited it for brevity but just getting it at all took forever. Check it out here.
Also, our hero AskWho audio-ized it! You can listen to the exchange rather than read it here.
Stay tuned for next time as we talk about… A One Way Interaction With An Additional Fundamental Law of Reality?
