Ted Schick- Thinking about Weird Things
In this episode, Max and Daniel interview philosopher Theodore Schick, Jr of Muhlenberg College and discuss the big philosophical questions behind Cryonics:Is Cryonics a science, a pseudo-science , or something else entirely? What does it mean to preserve your identity? Should you be worried about mind-uploading? Are humans natural born dualists? How might scenarios of the future upend our ethical and philosophical intuitions?We tackle all of these questions and more in a wide-ranging discussion that you should definitely be losing sleep over! As always, you can find us over at The Cryosphere discord server, or email us at cryonicsunderground@gmail.com with your comments.Show notes:Links:Theodore (Ted) Schick, Jr. - https://www.muhlenberg.edu/academics/philosophy/ourfaculty/theodoreschickjr/How to Think About Weird Things https://www.amazon.com/How-Think-About-Weird-Things-ebook/dp/B07N1S3SLZDoing Philosophy https://www.amzn.com/0078119170S.E.T.I https://seti.org/seti-institute/Search-Extraterrestrial-IntelligenceDrake Equation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation This is a public episode.
