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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
