Hi friends! In place of NASA in February Aaron had a farcical "debate" with Andrew of Opening Arguments on which is the better Heinlein book, Stranger in a Strange Land or The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Mostly an excuse to discuss books we love, but we hope you enjoy the back and forth and then take sides and fight endlessly about it online. Cheers!

How do we assess whether life in plastic really is fantastic, not to mention the questionable principles of consent inherent in the idea that you can undress her everywhere. Most importantly, is Barbie feminist, and if so, what kind of feminist? These earworm questions and more on this weeks instalment of Alienating your Audience! Enjoy!

Election season is upon us! Will we end up with the needlessly rapey "Make America Great Again" demagogue? How many people of color will experience some form of genocide? Will the Pox ever end? While we wait to see, we start our coverage with the background from Parable of the Sower, the first book in the series that is recapped at the start of Parable of the Talents. We provide a crash course on Critical Race Theory, which we'll unpack further over the next few episodes alongside the other philosophy. Keep breathing, we'll get through this.

Are you seriously reading the show notes?! Don't you know that reading is the worst thing you can do in a Lovecraft story? That and being a person of color. And reading while a person of color, that is right out.

We're starting our first of many forays into Lovecraft Country, both the book and the show (and eventually the larger mythos). We cover the general structure of both book and show, with some non-spoilery references up through episode seven. We discuss the role of othering in Lovecraft's racism and his cosmic horror, and how Lovecraft Country transforms the other by centering a variety of marginalized groups. There's really is no better way to honor such an important racist than by using his work to tell the stories of the oppressed.

Another epic journey comes to a close and the excitement is PALPable. I honestly have very little to add here beyond a bunch of links to cool studies and the sincere hope that the Portids come and uplift us with their empathy virus one day.

Ugh, filthy hoot-mans. Truly the worst part of any sci-fi. We must struggle through though as we can't really explain the brilliant climax without explaining the absurd journey of the misguided bipeds. We make it tolerable by focusing on the dangers of uploading/copying human minds in hardware and software.    Neuromorphic AI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromorphic_engineering    Support us at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/0G    Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/0gPhilosophy   Join our Facebook discussion group (make sure to answer the questions to join): https://www.facebook.com/groups/985828008244018/    Email us at: philosophersinspace@gmail.com   If you have time, please write us a review on iTunes.

We're fresh from our cryosleep and ready to enjoy easily one of the best books either of us has read. Children of Time! We're starting off with a discussion of the Portids and the ethics of uplifting.
