	BP Podcast #14: Better never to have been? On Anti-Natalism	13 Apr 2022
Anti-natalism is the ethical view that the act of having children is morally reprehensible, largely because of the consent issue: nobody who's born is capable of consenting to being born. On this episode, we discuss the ethical issues around procreation.
	Episode 13: The Ideology of Bitcoin	30 Mar 2022
On this episode, we talk about the ideas behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. My goal here is to give a balanced overview of the ideology (or the philosophy) at work behind Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency protocols.
	Episode 12: The Myth of Atlantis - Disaster or Fable?	23 Mar 2022
Here, we attempt to separate fact from fiction, exploring whether the Atlantis myth may be a fictionalized tale of a real natural disaster—such as the devastation of the Minoan civilization on Crete by a tsunami more than 3,500 years ago.
	Episode 11: Survival Stories and the Philosophy of Mountains	16 Mar 2022
On this episode of the podcast, we discuss survival stories and the philosophy of mountains and mountaineering. I talk about a few close calls I've had while out in the mountains, and then we ask what draws humans to these mountains in the first place.
	Episode 10: Understanding Modern China through its Ancient Philosophy, Pt. 2: Virtue	09 Mar 2022
On this episode, we're starting with Confucian ideals of Virtue and governance by wu-wei (effortless action). Then we jump straight into the politics of modern China, how Confucian principles are being mi-used, and contemplate the future.
	Episode 9: Understanding Modern China through its Ancient Philosophy, Pt.1: Harmony	02 Mar 2022
On today's episode, we seek to understand modern China by examining its philosophy: in particular, the Confucian emphasis on social harmony. This concept is fundamental to understanding how the cultural identity of China has persisted over the past several thousand years and into the modern age.
	Episode 8: Escaping Earth and Colonizing Mars	23 Feb 2022
On this episode of the podcast, we discuss the philosophical implications of settling humans on Mars. We also go into Elon Musk's idea that we humanity needs to become a multi-planetary civilization in order to avoid extinction, and the ideology behind this growing wave of Earth escapism.
	Episode 7: On Vegan Ideology	16 Feb 2022
On this episode of the podcast, we talk about the ideology of veganism, the ethical problem of factory farming, and explore how different cultures view the consumption of animals differently.
	Episode 6: Creating Meaning in Life and Love	09 Feb 2022
On this episode, we discuss how we can create meaning in life and love. To accomplish this task, we explore Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl, Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard, and What Love Is by Carrie Jenkins.
	Episode 5: Don't Panic! Pt. 3 - Hypothetical Risks and the Deep Future	02 Feb 2022
We finish up our three-part series on Existential Risks. We discuss hypothetical and exotic existential risks that we could possibly encounter (ie. aliens!). From there, we go on to discuss the Fermi Paradox, the rare-Earth hypothesis, and ponder on the possibility that we're alone in the universe.
	Episode 4: Don't Panic! Pt. 2 - Human Caused Existential Risks	26 Jan 2022
In this episode, we jump into a discussion about seven human-caused existential risks: what philosopher Toby Ord says are 1,000 times more likely to cause human extinction over the next century than any naturally occurring risks.
	Episode 3: Don't Panic! Pt. 1 - Naturally Occurring Existential Risks	19 Jan 2022
In this episode of the podcast we discuss Existential Risks and the future of humanity. First, we start off with an analysis of the recent film "Don't Look Up." From there, we jump into an analysis of seven naturally occurring existential risks and how we might mitigate them.
	Episode 2: Is Life Worth Living?	12 Jan 2022
In this episode, we go into "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus and formulate an alternative modern punishment to Sisyphus' boulder-rolling that I think is even worse. From there, we discuss how we can attempt to find meaning in an inherently meaningless world through absurd freedom.
	Episode 1: an Origin Story, Nietzsche, and Secular Metaphysics	05 Jan 2022
In the first-ever episode of the Bad Philosopher Podcast, we discuss my philosophy origin story, Nietzsche's "God is dead" proclamation, jump into Mary Wollstonecraft on hedonism, and round things off with the Bhagavad Gita and a discussion about secular metaphysics.
