Here it is, the culmination of all of Star Trek, after this episode we can hang up our captain's badges and retire to a simple life of bloodworm stomping. This is arguably the best Star Trek Episode in the best Star Trek show there is. It is, indeed, Klingon as hell. We cover what it teaches us about collective virtue and other more advanced takes on virtue theory. Enjoy, or experience bij!

The fact that nobody ever asks anybody if they're "feeling lucky" in this movie feels like a mistake worthy of a creepy evil luck hug. I really enjoyed this movie the first time I watched it, and after five years of being obsessed with non-superstitious luck, it's nice to come back and reflect on the weirdness that is superstitious luck. Enjoy!

Break out your plumbuses folks, it's time for another weird ass trip through some cool ass shit. We're talking about season one of Scavangers Reign, a show that pairs perfectly with Alien Clay and several other things we've covered recently. We discuss the nuances on distinguishing between parasitic and symbiotic relationships, and how we moralize about those ways of being, particularly when we compare them to social versions like colonialism vs. socialism. We also get into the culturally charged issue of "ways of knowing" or "indigenous ways of knowing". Plus all the fun flubjules in your orifices kind of stuff. Gotta get those flubjules.

If you think about it "dance your cares away, worries for another day" has a horrifying ring to it when the cares in question concern the reproduction of systemic hierarchies through legitimizing narratives about the "natural" order. Is the Doozer motto "work your cares away, dancing is for another day", are they really expressing their authentic preference or merely a preference bred into them through generations of domestication by their Fraggle overlorders. OR, did an ancient, advanced Doozer society in fact domesticate the Fraggles to distract the Gorgs from feeding on Doozer, only to become a sub-altern species in the heirarchy that formed after the collapse of the golden age of Doozer/Fraggle relations. OOOOOR, is that itself just a speciestist mytho-historic narrative constructed by Fraggle scholars as yet another level of social control?! And what does all of this have to do with animal rights and paternalism in environmental ethics?! Let the music of the colonizers play and find out, down in Fraggle Rock!

If there's two words you'd associate with our show, I hope they would be spider and head. We're doing a 2/3rds excellent 1/3rd deeply flawed movie that hits a lot of our sweet spots but ultimately fails to get that final gold star. And we're talking about the nature of emotions and whether it would be better if we could control them, and also testing on criminals etc, everything you'd expect watching this opal in the rough.

One pod. One post. One shtick. One hole. One golden take on masculinity. (it's a kind of madness)
One shaft shaped sword that shows the way.
No moral man would want to play. (it's a kind of madness)
That bs misogyny inside your mind.
Is just patriarchy making you blind. (it's a kind of madness)
Getting woke takes an eternity.
With shit like Highlander from society!
Is gender a kind of madness?
(it's a kind of madness)
There can be only none!
This shtick that lasts a thousand years.
Will soon be lulz! (it's a kind of madness)

What is there to say about Men? A movie so pregnant with ideas it's practically bursting at the orifices with symbols coated in fresh nightmare fuel. Been sitting on this gem a long time and the bear vs. men discourse gave us the perfect context. So, get ready for the most us content ever as we discuss Schrodinger's rapist and social dominance orientation!

Welcome to the Void Vault, the best of all possible vaults! You're so lucky you were born into this vault, especially because you can't leave. But why would you, everything in this vault is totally fine, you are absolutely NOT a test subject for some undisclosed social psychology experiment, especially not an experiment involving the development of new orifices. While you wait to see our totally safe doctors about that weird itching sensation, enjoy our discussion on the super good Fallout series and the popular but maybe ethically questionable concept "laboratories of democracy". Enjoy, and remember, please keep your responses honest, this is for scientific posterity.

If you think about it, on the downsizing principles this is like a years worth of content, and two sentences is endless show notes. Or something, I dunno, the scaling doesn't really make any sense, much like the conceptual map surrounding altruism. Enjoy!

Dear listeners, there are few joys as wonderful as providing y'all with unknown little gems filled with quirky body horror and a deep commitment to the bit. This movie made my transhumanist orifices quiver with joy. Enjoy our discussion of the extremely mid concept that is "naturalness".

Is Barbie really a Barbie girl? And in what way is this really a Barbie world? 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!
